Isn't it great to be a kid! I wonder what treasure Brennan was searching for.
Mike and Maddie's annual date to the Daddy Daughter Dance. 
We made cookies one afternoon, and when we were done Madison made this note for Mike. Note the spelling of 'we'. And, here is some food for thought...
***Brennan: "Mom, where is the throw up when you are not sick?"
***For those of you who have watched me parent all of my kids, you will get a good laugh out of this one. Macy: pointing to her eyes, "eye", pointing to her nose, "nose", pointing to her mouth, "cookie"....my how things have changed from when I just had Madison. Anyone remember the kiwi cake I made Maddie for her first birthday?
***While discussing 'smart cars' Mike told Maddie that they really weren't very smart b/c if you got in a wreck you would get crushed. Maddie argued. "They are smart daddy b/c only one person can fit in there and that means you can think because it's quiet and you will get smart."
***Maddie and I also talked about electric cars. I was telling her how you plug them in to charge the battery and then you don't need gas. She pondered what I said for a while and responded with.."I don't get it mom. I just don't see how that works." I explained it to her again. And she asked, "But Mom, what if you have to drive a long way. What if you are driving across Massachusetts?" I tried to figure out how to answer her- and why she asked about Massachusetts. I think I gave her the same explanation again. And then she say, "BUT MOM...what if you run out of cord?" HAAAAA! I got a good laugh out of that one.
***Brennan has been enamored with the wildflowers. He has Mike's appreciation for nature. We were looking for some bluebonnets by his school when he suddenly exclaims, "Oh look mom, I found some Indian Toothbrushes (Indian Paintbrushes :) )" Later he was asking me what a certain type of flower was and I told him I didn't know. I said maybe they were black eyed susans. But since I was not sure he got very serious and said, "Mom, since we really don't know what they are called, let's just call them black eyed beautifuls!" I agreed whole-heartedly.

LOVE it, K. I laughed out loud about the throw up. Miss your sweet family. Our kids would have so much fun:) and I DO remember the kiwi cake;)
Those are funny stories and I'm just amazed at how quick they think about things! I'd love to see the kids again. They're growing up so quickly!
