Maggie Style

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Nancy

I “girlied” up the bottom bunk of Burke and Maggie’s bed yesterday.

New curtains

I found shiny curtains and tassel tie backs at the local discount store. I also purchased a new curtain rod to put up under  the bed. The “valance” is actually the tie backs that came with the curtains.

The View While Sleeping

(Okay, okay…I know that if she’s actually sleeping the view would be, well, black…but this is the view if she’s in bed AWAKE. 🙂 )

I stapled the flat sheet of a princess sheet set to the support planks under Burke’s bed. The fitted sheet and Cinderella pillow case will be used on Maggie’s bed – she usually tosses off the flat sheet anyway 😉

The verdict? It’s “Maggie Style!!”  🙂

(25 seconds)

Maggie was so happy she was singing … and she wanted to have a sleep over with Burke and Logan in her bed. Cute 🙂

(Burke is now working on thoughts for his own “Burke Style” – which, surprise surprise, includes a Cars theme…but also includes pictures of the family 🙂 )

Saturday Snapshot: Colorful Thinking

Posted on February 20, 2010 by Nancy

A recent Fishful Thinking activity is the Colorful Things game. You express certain feelings through certain colors. We chose to use Rainbow Goldfish for our game.

Burke didn’t want to play, and Logan just wanted to eat the fish…but Maggie seemed to really enjoy it!

At first, we went over what the different colors would mean – and what our faces would look like with that emotion. (I think we mixed up the colors a few times, but we still had fun!)

Sad

Angry

Happy

…and she decided that green meant throw up, but I’ll spare you those pictures 😉

And here’s a video for what things make Maggie sad, angry, and happy.

Makes My Monday: Names and Tails

Posted on January 18, 2010 by Nancy

Names

For a long time, if you’d ask Logan what his name was, he’d point to himself and say “ME!!” And while, technically…that’s not wrong…it totally made my day when he figured out that his name is, in fact, Logan. (Which, when I stop to think about it, he always knew…because he’d turn and say “what?” when you’d call his name. Curious.)


(17 seconds)

The  thing saying his name to him is his Leapfrog Tag Jr…and I’m not sure why he’s got his finger in his mouth the whole time…

(And a picture to match the video)

"Hi there, Logan!"

Tails

Maggie requested piggie tails today!! She normally doesn’t want me to do anything with her hair (not that I’m any good at it…), or we just run out of time for anything more than a headband after it’s been brushed. But today – when we actually had time – she asked for pig tails 🙂

Piggie Tails

Logan’s name and Maggie’s request totally Make My Monday!

Fx4: Twirled

Posted on January 8, 2010 by Nancy

Maggie (or Mike?) had this great idea to spin one of their new tops … and then “catch it” in Maggie’s hair. Luckily, this didn’t end up in any disastrous top-stuck-in-hair scenarios and they had a lot of fun with it. 🙂

"I caught it!"

You can see the fun in action (still lovin’ my Flip!).

Put on Your Party Dress!

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Nancy

I was going to write a whole long post to catch up with all of the things we’ve done over the past few weeks (Christmas, Disney on Ice, fun in Vermont, book review, etc.), but with my busy work schedule right now, all I have time for lately are snippets and picture posts…so I leave you this year with a picture of Maggie in the dress her cousin Jaine wore in our wedding. (you can see a picture of Jaine in it in the Wedding Story!) Jaine’s mom, Kahki, sent it to Maggie…so thoughtful!! (Maggie absolutely loves it – go figure 😉 )

Makes My Monday: A Pageant, A Nut, and A Tickle

Posted on December 14, 2009 by Nancy

There was a children’s pageant at our church yesterday. Since Maggie is the only one who will go to Sunday school – she was the only one in it! While Mike was at work, I took all 3 kids with me. Thank goodness I sat beside VP so I could sneak up and see that Maggie was okay in the front while leaving the boys with her. (She also took the following picture on my phone 🙂 Thanks VP!!) We didn’t make it through the whole thing, but we did get to see Maggie’s part.

Maggie's in the front behind the banister with a green dress and a blue scarf

Before the pageant, we hit Target and purchased a much-asked-for-after-Saturday-night Nutcracker. Maggie was dancing around with it this morning 🙂

Dancing with the Nutcracker

And lastly, Maggie was a big girl today and got her hair washed before getting it cut…except that she couldn’t stop giggling because it ticked. Which totally cracked me and Ms. Hairdresser up.

It Tickles!!

Who knew I’d be talking about Maggie for all of those? 😉 All three, totally Make My Monday.

Fx4: Hair

Posted on November 13, 2009 by Nancy

I just love Maggie’s hair. If only she’d let me … you know, BRUSH it. I also wish I was a bit better with that whole “doing” of hair, but I’m not. Not mine, not her’s. Maybe she’ll let me practice more as she gets older…

Luckily – Maggie lets Jessica touch her hair!
