In an old house in Paris....

"In an old house in Evansville that was covered with vines,
Lived two little girls in two straight lines
In two straight lines, they broke their bread, brushed their teeth, and went to bed
They left the house at half past nine,
In rain or shine,
The smallest one was Madeline."

My apologies to Ludwig Bemelmans for the creative lisence taken with his prose.
Madeline has been an all time favorite at our house for years. The spunky little heroine and her mischievous antics reminds us greatly of two certain little people.

I was glad that Ryan wanted to portray Madeline for the Fall Festival Pet Parade. Tate obligingly went along as Miss Clavel though she preferred to call her the hip hop nun! We've been doing the Pet Parade since Tate was little and the girls love walking down the street waving to the crowds.

Here's my mischievous Madeline and her hip hop nun.
