The Final Countdown!

On Sunday I realized that this is Maisey's last week as an only child.... Although I DON'T think her world will change very much (as many others do), I decided to take each day and treat it special. It is kind of sad because I don't think she has noticed (although she is very thankful she is use to doing these things all the time), but at least I did.

***I didn't have my camera with me because it was packed in the hospital bag but I still threw in some visuals.

On Monday we went bowling.

We didn't cosmic bowl as the picture shows, but this is the same ally. We love it because it has little metal ramps for the kiddies to put their balls on top of and they can basically roll them without any effort.

On Tuesday she went with Dad to the Children's Museum.

We just re-introduced Maisey to the clay studio and she loves it. We had taken a LONG break and I think she forgot it existed. Her very favorite thing to do, and she runs to it when we arrive, is paint her own face.

On Wednesday we went to playgroup and to a lunch play date afterwards. The girls made their own pizzas for lunch... Something Maisey loves to do at home for the entire family when it is her turn to cook!

Always a quick and fun meal for picky eaters!

Thursday we went to Pump It Up JR.

We don't know this kid, but he is at the inflatable party center which you can check out on-line if you're interested.

And for tomorrow, we aren't entirely sure but I think it will involve primping and more girly time of some sort.Maisey gets so mad when I get pedicures without her (and she ALWAYS notices and tries to guilt me with a "Hey Mom, you got your toes done without me, no fair!").

Last weekend we stayed home an entire Saturday (for once Chad was the one with cabin fever) and I cleaned out the garage. After wards Maisey and I had "craft time" and we made this "Final Countdown" visual aid to pass away the days until Ryley arrives. She made many things and I ended up doing most of it because she lost interest with Dad playing the Wii nearby... I plugged away until it was done and she has enjoyed keeping track.
