Whose the Daddy?

Madelyn and I recently had a very interesting conversation. We had just purchased some flowers and veggies and were headed home. This was the dialogue that happened:

Madelyn: When I grow up and become a Mommy, who will be the Daddy?

Me: Well, when you grow up you will pick a boy who you really love and he can be the Daddy?

Madelyn: (not at all pleased with my response) Oh, I don't want to! I want Daddy (Matt)

Me: Daddy belongs to me and you can choose someone that you love.

Madelyn: Then I don't want to grow up, I'm not going to eat tomorrow because I don't want to grow up.

Me: That's fine too. (trying not to burst out laughing)

End of conversation. Geez, where does this kid get this stuff from!

Catchin' Up...

Well kinda. I'm not actually catchin' up now but I promise to soon! Life has gotten crazy busy with the end of the school year and then we seem to be packing in every fun thing possible lately.

So what have we been up to lately? Lots! Matt was in a wedding several weeks ago and we got to enjoy it kid free thanks to my in laws!! While the men were doing all the wedding details my friend Tammy and I enjoyed spray tanning (this was my first spray tan experience and boy was it interesting!), pedicures, and drinks on the plaza in our spiffy dresses. Definitely a night to remember!!

Next up, Easter. We did the annual Easter event at the YMCA which was tons of fun. Lots of crafts, food, and what party would be complete without a bounce house! We also went to church and the cute bunny visited our house. Pictures to come soon!

Over a month ago I ran the Brew to Brew with some amazing friends. It was a total blast!! I have so many memories and pictures. Can't wait to do it next year!

Mother's Day, ahh, Mother's Day. What a wonderful one it was! Madelyn slept in, yeah! Matt had told me to be ready to leave our house at 11:00 so naturally I assumed we were doing lunch someplace but I was pleasantly suprised to find us walking down Mass street and suddenly Matt directed us into a spa where he had made an appointment for an hour hot stone massage for me!!!!! Can you say AMAZING! This was by far the best massage I've ever had, I was walking on air all day. Then we did a seafood lunch and picked up some yummy ice cream. We headed home where Madelyn proceeded to take a four hour nap, that's right, four hours!! It was an awesome day!

Somewhere in there we also packed in a visit from my folks, a Royals game, our first camping experience, trying to plant flowers and veggies, oh, and a partridge in a pear tree!

I'll get caught up with pictures and some really funny stories soon...

Pillow Talk

Last night Madelyn asked me to tell her a bedtime story. I pull from happy childhood memories for bedtime stories because I want her to know me as a child. So I began telling her about my cat Whiskers. I told her that some neighbors found a tiny kitten in the middle of the street, alone and scared. So they brought her home to my family. I left out the fact that our previous cat, whom I didn't like and the feeling was mutual, had just died so we were in the market for a new pet. But I told her how I came up with the name Whiskers, how we instantly bonded, and how she loved only me. When Madelyn asked where Whiskers was now I told her that she lived a long and happy life and she was old and had died so we buried her and she was in heaven now. This is what she said:


"You mean she's in the dirt, under the ground now?" (To this I said yes but we buried her in a nice box so she will be safe and clean.)


"Which house in heaven does she live in?" (This one had me stumped, so I said I wasn't sure but I'm know she is very happy there. Then Madelyn said, "Mommy, don't worry, we'll find her when we go to heaven too.)


Ahhh! Such a sweet girl with such a soft heart!
