Spy Girls

This morning Mel and I lay in bed, enoying the opportunity to sleep in. As I began to stir, I could hear the girls laughing and giggling downstairs. Of course they didn't bother us (thanks girls), but of course I was interested to know what they were doing. So when I got downstairs, I was surprised and delighted to see how creative and crafty they had been.

They had become...the Spy Girls. Mission: Spy on Mom and Dad. Here's what I saw:

Communicator - tethered high-fi communication device for communicating between spies only.

Spy camera - micro-camera, used for spying on Mom or Dad when working in the office. See the pic of the girls above...that little white thing hanging on the door...that's the camera. I barely could see it!

Finally, for transportation they built this - Part car, part airplane, part boat - all weapon.

A conversation

As Maddie and I were walking around the Polynesian resort the other night our conversation went something like this:

"What are your dreams, Maddie?"

"Oh, I have a lot of dreams. I think alot about my dreams, and I really really want them to come true. Sometimes when I think about my dreams I can't sleep, I'm just thinking about them. They are special to me, so special. And I always want to believe in my dreams, always."

She then told me that one of her dreams was that Peter Pan would come.

This is as much as I can remember.

But, I will say this: She was so passionate and deliberate in her voice that it took me by surprise and reminded me that I really have a special little lady here. I was totally taken aback, really. It was one of those short coversations that you wish could last a lifetime.

I'm so fortunate to have such amazing girls :)
