Madd Max Judges Top Chef

 Remember this?

 Well, it was for this.

 A Yo Gabba Gabba Heaven for the kids.  A Top Chef Masters Heaven for the adults.

The food was not so yummy in her tummy, but it was in Jess'.

Madd Max Makes Cupcakes

For Maddie's class at school.

Assisted by their grandparents.

Madd Max Has Them All Over

 A little cake baking and licking.

 Table tested out with the Findleys and Leonhardts.

The adult version.

A success all around.

Madd Max Stays Entertained

 A little tiara making.

A little bike riding with the grandparents looking on.

 And a Kings game in a box (with grandparents sitting at home).

Madd Max Have Brunch

 A first Sunday meal at the new house.

Slappy Sees A Performance

Of the Wizard of Oz, where Lilly was a cast member.  Maddie spent most of the time waiting for Lilly to come back on stage, and telling Jess, "Oh, she's so beautiful," once she appeared.

Madd Max Are Giddy

At the return of Toby and Taisie!

Madd Max Has Birds On Their Heads

 A bird for Max.

A bird for Madd.

Neither got pooped on, although Jess watched as another little girl did.

 And the reason why they had birds on their heads - Edith's birthday party.  She's the blond wrapped in snake.

 It was also Jane's party, who gave Max a push when Jess wouldn't.

 Those horses were made out of chocolate by Shanna.

As was the Rapunzel tower of doughnuts.

Madd Max Hikes

 As part of the Aeryn's Birthday Party.

 They also ate cake.

And pinata'd at the after party.

Slappy Is Still Digging Gymnastics

Some rope work.

Slappy Explains That She Misses Rohan Who Is Going To A New School

A tragic ending.

Madd Max Watches The International Space Station

It was moving fast.

Madd Max Heads To Ava's

For more trampoline.

And their first tea party.

The Scrapper Skates

Normally, Max and Sam go to ice skating class on Saturdays.  Today Sam had to work, so instead he brought his sis and mom.

Maddie cheered, "Go, Max, Go!" which thrilled Max.

Almost as much as the highlight of every lesson - the zamboni.

Madd Max Plays The Driving Game

 It only took 3 of them - one to steer, one to shift gears and one to work the gas pedal.

Madd Max Rock Wall Climb

In tandem, at preschool.

Slappy Sleeps In Her Big Girl Bed

But not without her brother on the floor, who desperately wanted to sleep in his own room.  Maddie said she would be scared; perhaps Jess felt a little of the same.  After all, Maddie is so high up and so far away (the farthest room in the house from the master).  Both Jess and Maddie made it through the night fine, although Jess felt wistful the entire next day.

Slappy Shows Off Her New Digs

But first, a little playing doctor with ELF.

Then some time with a flashlight and some dress up.

Slappy Signs Her Name

For the first time on some correspondence.

Madd Max Have Valentine's Parties

 The opening of the bags they made.

All the Tiny Tigers in a circle, waiting for their turn to hand out valentines.

 Max hands one to his #1 - Stella.

  In the Little Folks room, there was less of a feeling of controlled chaos, as kids were actually patiently waiting.

The Little Folks also got to use knives, albeit plastic, to spread their cream cheese.
