 I love my family so much.  This morning we woke up to 92 degrees out, which isn't bad (I never imagined I would ever write such a thing) until you mix in the humidity - 85% this morning.  The windows were foggy and wet. I probably  could have just stepped out front for a shower. 

 Here's Abigail right after she woke up.  She always wakes up with the biggest smile.  She is so happy all the time! If nothing else happened in my day, just seeing my girls happy would always be enough.

 We started our morning with pancakes, and then instead of watching a movie, which we do a lot, I decided we should play.  Madeline built a tall tower with her blocks and was very proud of this accomplishment and told me to take a picture. Here she is standing next to the tower. 

 After we played some, we did some painting.  I have a project idea for the playroom that has to do with manners and rules.  This picture is of the beginning of my project. Hopefully it will turn out. 

Madeline did some major awesome painting herself.  She is quite creative and really enjoys art. 

 After our art project we decided to take advantage of our over ripened bananas and make some banana bread and muffins.  They turned out really good. Even Paul liked them.  I always feel like mini muffins are easier to eat... sort of like popcorn or potato chips.

Tuesday night is hobby night, so tonight we ordered steak from the hobby farm.  Paul and Madeline went and picked it up while Abs and I watched a show from National Geographic about babies.  I loves shows like that and there are a ton of them on Netflix. 

After dinner Madeline and Paul went outside to play.  They came back shortly after soaking wet! Madeline also had literally filled her shoes with sand and ran all up and down the hallway when she got home before I realized it. 

Homemade strawberry/raspberry popscicles and Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets ended our evening.  Paul and Madeline fell asleep on the couch and Abigail and I are still going strong!

Abigail's top left middle tooth has broken through the skin! This will be tooth number three and the beginning of some major cuteness in her photos. Not that she isn't already the most adorable baby on the planet. With that smile and a couple of teeth on top? Aye yay yay!
