Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Today we had one of those parties that ended a little different than we expected!

I wanna go to the Daddy Daughter Dance


Sterling's Annual Daddy Daughter Dance is once again upon us.  Spirits rise when we receive the pretty little invitation in the mail.  Maddie marks the special day on her calendar and the countdown begins.
We have to go shopping for the perfect dress.  This year she wanted something white, sparkly, and one that twirls when she spins.

We finally found a winner!


Rob chose a sweet pink corsage for Maddie to wear to the dance.
The day finally arrived and Maddie was all smiles.  She and her daddy looked stunning as they headed to the Casa Blanca for the special festivities.

However, not everyone was happy.  Kinley was especially unhappy when shopping for Maddie's special dress.   She was soon pacified when we found her a pair of sparkly flip flops instead.  She is also already relishing in the fact that next year she will get to go to the dance as a Sterling kindergarten student.

But Mr. Cade still wasn't happy.  He had several plans of action. 
First, he decided to have his own Daddy Daughter Dance. Here he is with his daughter "Brittany" ready to party.
He was too cute swaying to the music, dancing with his "daughter".
He soon decided that wasn't much fun so his next plan.....


Meet our new daughter, Jessica. She is dressed and ready for the dance. 
(I have a feeling he will not appreciate this when he is older.)

We spent the evening wondering what Daddy and Maddie were doing now. I can't say I blame Caden for his trying because... I wanna go to the daddy daughter dance too!  Maybe next year, I could dress as "Jessica's dad" and we could both slip into the dance.  Hmmm.  it could work.  
Or maybe we will plan our own Mommy/Son Dance instead.

Just call me Dora


The highlight of my week:
Caden: " I love you Mommy."
Me: " I love you too Caden."
Caden: " You are my best friend. You are
my Dora and I am your Boots."
Me: The happiest mom on earth

Sunday Naps

Sunday Afternoons are sacred in the Billingsley household.

All of the kids know that it is the one day that Mommy and Daddy are taking a nap.  After church, we have lunch, and then we shut everything down for the afternoon.  Everyone is expected to lay down and rest.
Yesterday, was no exception.  However, during our nap, Rob and I received a special note under our door.


Check out the back of the note:

Hmmm..  maybe I shouldn't haven't been so eager to teach Maddie to read and writ.
