showstopper & notable quotables

Daddy built this stage on Maddy's insistence that she needed a place to perform.  She recently got into the '80s cartoon, Jem, which is about a punk rock girl band.  I used to watch it when I was a kid.  I was looking through a box of old keepsakes with Maddy and we came across a Jem coloring book that I had when I was 10 years old or so.  She flipped through it and was intrigued by the pictures.  I told her it was a cartoon I used to watch and she also wanted to watch it.  Curious, I checked to see if it was on Netflix, and lo and behold, there it was on streaming.  We both watched an episode of Jem that I haven't seen in over 25 years.  You gotta love the internet.  (Maddy went on to watch the entire first season). 

Anyway, she decorated this stage that Daddy put together so she could perform like Jem.


She even dressed in pink to match Jem's hair. 


Maddy said a couple of things this week that I find noteworthy:

*While discussing how happy Daddy is with his man cave, Maddy said, "Well all you do is watch TV and lounge up."

*Maddy was disappointed to hear that tomorrow was Friday and that she had to go to school.  "I wish it was Monday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday.  Monday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday.  This way, we only have to go to school or work one day and TA-DA (!), the next day is the weekend."
