A Little about My Moo and why I love that she goes to "school"

Maddi goes to "school" (aka Mother's Day Out)  Tuesdays and Thursdays from about 830am-430pm.   I thoroughly enjoy EVERY minute of it.... Let me just tell you a little about Maddi-Moo so you completely understand why i love this time so much. 

Maddi is very sweet, loving, intelligent beyond her years. she's a cuddler, loves being loved on, has the prettiest smile I've ever seen (it seriously lights up a room) a Mommy's girl who slowly changing to Daddy's girl,  oh and she is also very-let me repeat that, VERY -clingy, stubborn, determined, sassy, loves saying "no" to anything we say - even if she a second later turns that "no" into a "yes", she pushes the limits on everything (literally everything). She loves, no she demands to be entertained every minute of the day. A lot of Maddi's friends who are just a few weeks older/younger than her, I think, do a much better job of entertaining themselves than Maddi. We currently have the girls sharing a room so that we can have one room as a playroom. It's full of the coolest toys .... But they aren't enough to entertain my Maddi-Moo. Someone has to be in there watching/playing with her. As Livvi has become more alert Maddi will now play in the playroom as long as Livvi is in there watching her. (Yes!! I knew I wanted our kids close in age for a reason!!) 

Here's the only picture I have taken of our playroom. It's just one section of the room ... I need to hang a few things, after I do I will take more pictures of the playroom to put up. She's playing here with the Fisher price dollhouse.

Anyways .... Back to the point of this post... Since Maddi is such a high maintenance little girl 

it makes it next to impossible to get any of my deep cleaning, organizing, decorating, crafts done. Pretty much anything that takes more than an hour to do is always put on the back burner, indefinitely. This is why I treasure my time when My Moo is at school.
A full 8 hours to run errands with only one baby (oh my goodness it's so easy), go grocery shopping, deep clean my fridge, organize my linen closet AND my craft closet-in the same day, dust the ceiling fans, all my chores, and most importantly I get to spend some one on one time with my beautiful little Peanut. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, me or Peanut. Now Livvi is all smiles all the time but I get extra big ones on days when it's just me and her.
Peanut has a smile like her Big Sissy. That ear to ear, make your heart melt smile.

After running our errands, doing laundry, running, and cooking "sketty" for dinner we went and picked up My Moo. "Sketty" (aka spaghetti) is Maddi's favorite meal and she requests it every week.

She was obviously enjoying this meal. Don't let the sweet smile fool you. She is only smiling because I'm saying, "don't smile Maddi. Maddi, quit smiling. Maddi. Stop. Smiling.". Yes, she's THAT stubborn. A little me. Attitude and all. 

These girls. I'm so blessed that they are mine,that He (our wonderful Lord) chose me to be their mom.
