Marnie Rocks!

Last week the girls went for their "photo shoot" with Marnie (this was a continuation of the one Maggie won from the photo contest last fall.) So far, this is what we've gotten to preview:

Mom and dad go Thursday night to see the rest.

We can't wait!

Maggie's New Favorite Song is.....

Dan and I have the ZacBrown Band CD constantly playing in the car because Maggie loves the "Chicken Song" (Chicken Fried). Yesterday, as I was getting dinner ready, Maggie was playing on the piano.... when we listened to what, exacly she was singing, we couldn't help but laugh... The song is called "Toes," and it's the first song on the CD... It goes something like this:

I got my toes in the water

Ass in the sand

Life is good today....
Great song. Even better sung by a 2 year old.

Can you spot the fruit fly in this picture?

Rehearsal Dinner

The rehearsal dinner was a BLAST! There was a polka band and Maggie danced to EVERY song! The band would take short break, Maggie would start to walk out of the bar, and as soon as they started up again, she would turn around and run back in to dance some more! She had no idea that she was going to have to do it all again the following night!

Little Switzerland....

It's been 2 weeks now, but we were in New Glarus, WI for 3 days when Uncle Doug and Auntie Katie were married on September 19! We took a "mini-vacation" and had a super great time in "Little Switzerland!"

This is what the kids say at daycare when they sit down for lunch.... I just think it's sooooo cute!

Open, Shut Them. Open, Shut Them.
Give a little clap!
Shut Them, Open Them. Shut Them, Open Them.
Place them in your lap.
Let us try to be the light (I think it's supposed to be "polite" but whatever...)
In everything we do.
Always remember our special words:
Please, excuse me, and you're welcome.
Let's eat!
