Christmas dishes. LOL So they begin...

Poor Madden got up this morning (December 24th), stumbled bleary-eyed to the tree mumbling "Did Santa come? Is today the day?!" Then I heard, "Uh oh. Gotta go ask Daddy" Clearly Santa did not come & he was a little worried. ;)

A bit later today...

Brenley was trying to teach Madden how to do math so he could play a math Bingo game on the iPad. Needless to say he wasn't quite understanding, but she was relentless in her efforts. The last question I heard before she screamed in frustration was,

"Madden, what's 17-15?"

"SNOT-TEEN!!!!!!!!!"

LOL

Two Christmas-y Gems in an hour...

"Whoa! I like that licker!"
Lmao

Madden plays some tunes on the fiddle

Madden was drivin'er on the fiddle and even named some tunes. He didn't want me to video the whole thing... but sometimes little white lies are good for the archives ;)

Analyzing from behind...

Last evening while we were getting ready to go to skating, I was walking in our porch to get Madden's sneakers. He stopped me, all of a sudden:

Mom! Mom! Stop! 

What Madden?

How come when you walk your butt cheeks go all like this? [and he proceeded to walk with a deliberate arse wiggle from side to side]

Ugh. Little arse himself.

Madden's first self portrait

He was some proud of this!!

The things I hope will never go... but I know they will

I have to take a moment to record these little gems that are constants in conversation. These Maddenisms will be gone before we know it...

• Lawn the Mow -- "Daddy! Thanks for letting me lawn the mow with you! That was fun!"
• Trudeau -- "Where do Row and; Donkey live, Madden?" "Trudeau"
• Falihax -- "Where was the motel where our room was right beside the pool, Madden?" "Falihax"
• "When I was 6..." -- "When I was six I used to have a teacher called Campbell Campbell. She was a good teacher." (It's also the phrase used to introduce anything he's trying to be a part of and normally can't find any other connection.)

I'll keep adding to the list as more pop into conversation.

• Is Daddy done swipper whicking?!? (whipper snipping)
• URGH! You're just trying to accu-ate me! (aggrevate)
• Where's the tee-mote? (remote... for the tv, of course!)

I tell you...

STOP saying 'Oh My God' when I fart every time. You do it every time and it's embarrassing and not polite. So don't say it and don't laugh at me.
