hear, hear

the crazy cuteness that comes from their little mouths....

mad went to stay at his cousins' the other night leaving just max and i home.  i say to maxer, "it's just us, baby! what do you want to do? we can go see a movie or go get some ice cream." to which he replied, "oh, i didn't know this was going to be an us night...i just want to play the wii, you can do whatever you want."

mad saying love-ed for loved, "my class love-ed my show and tell." and bait-ed for beat, "i just bait-ed all the guys on super smash brothers."

max was lying with my sister, andy, and he was being really quiet. andy asked him what he was thinking about, max said, "i'm just caring about every family-mate i know, even you chacha." <3

max calls everyone a mate: classmate, family-mate, friend-mate....my little australian.=)

mad: "my dad is like 50 ft tall and has over a 100 muscles!"

[max and his armpit sounds]

madden, after little rowan exposed her underwear to him: "i only like to talk potty talk, i don't like to see it."

ken and i took the kids to see "born to be wild" on saturday in 3d.  skye had her arm stretched out trying to reach the animals the ENTIRE movie (as far as she could reach without spilling her popcorn, mind you.;))

when picking up max from school last week, he made a confession: "mom, there is a beautiful girl in my class." me: "what's her name?"  max: "taia. i just love her." me: "max, taia was on your soccer team. do you want to play soccer again?"  max:"uh...no." (not even the love a woman will get him back on that field.;)) madden: "i want to play soccer!"  max: "madden, no."  madden: "max, i want to play!"  max: "okay, fine. you can play, but taia's mine!"

at skye's nocturnal b-day party, the kids were playing a game where they were acting out different animals that we said.  someone said eagle and sadie got right into the yoga eagle pose. a girl after our very own hearts!

max was inviting a friend from school over and max and i were doing some planning when mad chimes in, "you have to say 'this is my brother, madden.' okay, max? that's what big brothers do, they meet their little brothers to their friends."

max to me: "you're the best mommy in the world." mad to me: "i think your mom is the best because she makes better cookies."  true, true maddy pie.

we brought madden's friend, brooks home from preschool to play.  when we got out of the car in the garage, i hear mad tell brooks very exuberantly, "this is our garage, you can find anything you want in here!" i believe a clean out is long overdue.

my niece, sadie batting her eyes at my sister, "that's what prettiness do's." =)

max: "mom, what's omg stand for?" madden says before i can even process max's question: "old man jenkins!" [from spongebob]

mad took off his coat after getting max from school revealing a striped shirt he was wearing to which max replied,  "oh madden, i didn't know you wore stripes."
