The chances of getting a serious or normal photo these days...

... are slim to none!

All in one day...

... actually in the span of 2 hours:



We were driving a friend home from school & she and I were talking in the front seat. Well, Mr. Madden was feeling a bit left out.

 "Mommy.... Mommmmy!.... MOMMY?!?!?!" 

Yes, Madden?

"What you guys talkin' bout?"

Oh, the price of tea...

"Yeah, right. T...U...V...W...X, Y, Z!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then later when we got home, he was being a not-so-good boy. I got cross at him & yelled "MADDEN GILLIS!"
He just looked at me with this stunned little grin on his face and said,

 "You forgot the Iain Ruaraidh part" 

Today's Email...

Got an email today from the babysitter that said...

"Madden got in a bit of trouble today. Hopefully he will get on the straight and narrow soon!!!!!!!"


All I saw was the first sentence & immediately thought "Oh GOD! What did he ruin on her?"


Then I scrolled down & saw this pic:

I guess he's a little more like Uncle Pat than we thought ;)

Hockey, Weather Forecasts, Sickness, and General Phrases

We're watching Cindy Day do the weather forecast on the news at noon. She says "flurries". Madden pipes up: "What she sayin'? Fleury? The Goalie? She's talkin'bout goalies? Why? Why you guys laughin'?!" LOL All Hockey. All. The. Time.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Brenley is sick on the couch with a stomach  bug. Madden is watching "she" to make sure she's ok. Then he comes and tells me, 
"It's ok, Mommy. I put my hand on she head. She doesn't have a beaver. She ok."

LMAO

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words that Madden has his own spin on:

wub = love "I wub you, Mommy!"

she = her "I check on she"

we = our "I playin' wit we toys."

tenaly = penalty "I'm in the tenaly box."

foft = soft "I want my foft blankie."

grink = drink "I want a grink of milk"


So, in spite of all of that gibberish, he can pull off something like this:



And here's a popular video... LOL

Math according to Madden

We're on our way home from school and I hear the math lesson going on in the back seat of the truck. Brenley is printing numbers and asking Madden if he knows what each number is.

What's this number, Madden?
2. Luke Leduc.

This one?
Morgan Ellis. 4

This one?
3. Nobody.

This one?
5. Nobody.

This one?
8. What's that guy's name again, Mommy?
Corey MacIntosh.
8 MacIN-tosh.

What's 2+2, Madden?
Two. Two. Dany Potvin.

Brenley says....
"Oh my god, Mommy! L-O-L!"

LMAO

Thank god for hockey and his Screaming Eagles he loves so much!

Christmas Craziness...

Madden's Christmas celebrations began with a very excited little man getting to skate with the Screaming Eagles:

in the "tenally box" with Will Carrier

His buddy Kyle Campbell. They chat before each game.

#2. "Ye-dook" aka Loic Leduc. "He's a great guy, Mommy!"

Blake Millman. "Him's a good fighter."

"My favourite, Mommy! Morgan Ellllls"

Dany Potvin: took him skating all around the ice! LOL "Real fast!"

on the Eagles bench, proud as a peacock!

Then as Christmas vacation proceeded, there was a LOT of hockey playing, which was only enhanced by hockey nets as a present:

And then came the gifts from Santa:

And what about the gems out of his mouth?

• When opening each and every gift, "Oh WOW! My favourite! I needed that!"
• We were heading out the door to go somewhere & I caught him trying to swat a bulb off the tree with his hockey stick. "MADDEN! You can't do that!!!!" M: "URGH! Oh for Jesus, Jesus, sakes!"
• While watching World Juniors: "That was a Jesus, Jesus good goal!"
• "Mommy, Santa Claus scare the shit out of me!"
• He & Brenley were playing 'house' so I decided I'd make them a 'restaurant' lunch. They're sitting at the table, all dressed up as a mom and dad, and I brought them their orders - macaroni & tomato juice.LOL. I just got my butt back to the kitchen to get them milk, and he says, "Scuze me, Sir? Dis is too hot!" LMAO

And I'm sure there were others, but I'm at a loss right now...

Merry Kistmas from Madden!

Ho Ho Ho!

An email came from Santa... For Madden!
