busy day today... first, we went to church... then addison and i went to Disney on Ice Princess Classics... then we went to the cider mill for a nice snack... and then we went to addison's soccer game. it was a jam packed day. but at the end of it all, i was feeling that the day was extremely fulfilling and fun! normally, i would be so tired and drained. but i felt just especially blessed today. maybe it was the beautiful fall weather, maybe because no one had any major meltdowns, maybe because it's the Lord's day and God was really with me today especially while jimmy's out of town. whatever it was, it was great and it's moments like these that make me feel so blessed to be a mom... especially to these two crazy little turkeys! ;)



ellie can barely sit still for 3 minutes without running wild so taking her to the show would probably not be good or enjoyable for anyone. so our nanny stayed home with ellie while she napped anyway. addie and i had a great bonding time at the show. we haven't done a mommy/daughter thing in a while. we shared a pretzel, she sat on my lap, i held her tight, i covered her ears on the scary parts (she made me), i smelled her hair repeatedly (call me strange, but i just love smelling my girls' heads!), etc. addison dressed up in all her princess glory (accessories and all!) just as the many other little girls did there. it was a lot of fun! she loved the show... if you couldn't already tell from her expression here!



then the girls, our nanny, petra and i went to the cider mill and enjoyed some donuts, cider and the live music.



we came home and played in the yard before we left for soccer



what a great day!
