There's something about Maddy
We've still got two weeks of summer left in these parts. Miss M is finding all sorts of kooky & kicky ways to brighten her days. Yesterday it was the fort-making, complete with music, lights, fan, art supplies, a soft nest (she slept in it last night), food, books, and phone. Proving that you're never too old for a good fort with white lights.
"Rules of Maddy's party fort:
1. Marvel at the wonder from a distance, please!
2. No biting pillows or blankets (you know who you are. *Louie*)
3. If your name isn't Louie or Maddy and you weren't formally invited into the fort, guess what? you weren't invited [this is a bit of a little-red-hen situation. no one would help her make it.]
4. When music is playing, lights are on, and fan is fanning, fort is occupied.
5. No harming or ta(m)pering with the fort or else you won't have chairs at dinner tonight.
6. Rules spontaneously come up by Maddy must be followed in the fort.
Thanks, the tenant"

On vacation, Maddy came across a card & quote at a museum gift shop that called her name:
"I am fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara I could save the world"
Last week she and her best partner-in-crime decided to go ahead and equip themselves & save the world. These are their costumes (plus scooters, some monster spray, and a lot of chutzpah):
I love this Alice shirt
She is hilarious. Man, I love that girl.

That Maddy is such a rock star. My favorite line was "You know who you are, Louie." Hilarious. What a perfect capture of her personality.
Love it! Not trying to grow up too soon-smart girl! Her "save the earth" outfit is fabulous and daring. GO MADDY!!! By the way, did anyone lose a chair at dinner? So funny!
I love Maddy! Her and Laura need to live closer to each other, they are soul sisters.
Ah, Jen. I couldn't agree more! Maybe we can gently nudge them into college roommate territory?
That is fantastic!
My kids do similar things and I will cry hot hard tears the day it all ends.
You go, Maddy.
I LOVE that girl! I hope she doesn't ever lose that confidence to be herself.
Oh, my Maddy girl! It all looks just enchanting. Little nooks and forts and secret places are the best things about childhood. I would just love to crawl inside there (only with permission and the proper treats and manners). Thanks for taking photos of this engaging little adventure. And, by the way, I think Maddy COULD change the world with little more than a cape, a tiara, her heart, and maybe some major funding. Love you!
Goodness, I love that girl. I have a few more charms to send your way.
