Maddie-isms

Mads: "Mom, Mrs Linton just had a baby."
Me: "That is nice, is she pretty young?"
Mads: "No, She's about your age."

OUCH.... When did I get so old?

Mads: "Mom, why do some guys wear tight pants, and saggy shorts?"
Me: "Maybe they like it, why?"
Mads: "I know someone who looks nice in tight pants"
Me; "Oh you do, Who?"
Mads: " Yes, he is married to that girl who has spiky hair".
(Eric Larson for all you South Benders...)
I never knew that Mads was checking out married men....

Today was ND's first game of the season. We won, and we had a brief glimpse of Mike's cute buns (and his murse) on TV. He is famous. Here he is with Bradley Sandella, his friend and co-fellow.



After running through the tunnel with the football team, and being serenaded by the ND marching band, he almost converted to Catholicism. (He claims it was one of him most memorable moments in his life... hopefully after marrying myself, and the births of our children, and ....)



And we had the opportunity to watch some of our friends kids this week while they had a little one in the hospital, and the kids got together and wrote music for us, and preformed it. Stunning work.

We also figured out that Colton's wand is not really used for magical purposes, it is in fact a very deadly weapon, one that had to be removed from his person numerous times for beating his sisters. He even challenged someone to a duel with a light-saber.
