Long Live Mickey Mouse

Many of you probably do not know this, but today is Mickey Mouse's 80th birthday. Suprisingly enough this is just a few days after Madison learned how to say Happy birthday. It sounds more like "Appy bibay", but i know what it means. Anyways, back to Mickey Mouse. We celebrated this momentous birthday by going to freestone park and doing crafts with some friends of ours. I can't believe that Mickey has been so popular for 80 years. On the other hand it is nice that there is some sort of tradition in Mickey mouse ( Everyone has some memory of Mickey in their childhood) at a time when traditions are no longer that common. makenzie was in school during this celebration so it was just me and madison. I love my time alone with each girl. makenzie gets quite a bit of quality time because she does her special activities when Maddie is sleeping, but Madison does not get quite as much alone time with mommy. (On a side note having 2 kids makes me really appreciate the times when i only have 1 kid... ahhhh to go the park and not be losing my mind!) Anyways, Madison colored a Mickey Mouse picture, and made Mickey mouse ears (super cute ones that did not bankrupt me like the ones at disneyland do). However her favorite part was decorating a Mickey mouse shaped cookie. I think she enjoyed the eating part the most, but she was excited to frost it and put on sprinkles. She was so worn out that when i went to pick up Makenzie from school she fell fast asleep. That is what a mother loves best (a sleeping child). Anyways, "Happy birthday Mickey"!!!
