The Best Hamburger

Maddy went to Worlds of Fun on Saturday with her little friends from school. When Maddy got home, I asked what she had for lunch and she replied, "The best hamburger ever!"

Maddy NEVER eats hamburgers, so, I said, "Oh, yeah? What made this burger so great?" She said, "Well, first of all, it had chicken on it with a bun!"

I said, "Ya mean a chicken sandwich????" "Yeah!"

Chiropractor

Sawyer went with me to the "choir - practor" today...while the lady was ultrasounding my shoulder, I was laying face down on the table. Sawyer climbs up on the table, sits on my legs, and starts patting my butt like the bongos. Awesome.

Pain Tolerance

One of the kids' friends had to get a couple of stitches in her arm from a dog bite. This intrigued Lizzy and the whole ride to church today was filled with questions about stitches. "Do they hurt?" "How do they get in your skin?" "What are stitches made of?"

Maddy was trying to help answer some of Lizzy's questions. She also told Lizzy this, "Of course stitches hurt! Don't listen to mommy! She had three babies without medicine. She always says that it won't hurt!"

I laughed and asked, "Maddy!??! How did you know about that?" Maddy replied, "Every time you want me to take a medicine that I don't like or I get hurt, you always say, 'Maddy, you'll be fine. Mommy had three kids without any medicine!"

Seriously!??!?! I don't recall these conversations?

US History

Sawyer LOVES this book about the nation's monuments. His Uncle Andy gave it to Maddy when she was really itty bitty. Anyhoo....Sawyer has us read it to him every night. He practically has the whole thing memorized.

It's the cutest thing to hear him tell you about the four presidents on Mt. Rushmore and about the American "levorution." My favorite thing to hear him say is the Lincoln "mem-oreo."
