There's an app for that!

Just downloaded the Blogger app so hopefully this will expedite my blogging.

The things they learn.

Two weekends ago, Madelyn and Sawyer spent an overnight weekend (two nights) with Grammy and Grandad. This isn't the first overnight they've had away from us but what they came home with after such a short time was remarkable.

1. Madelyn developed a southern accent and discovered she likes gum.
2. Grandad's special yogurt contains more chocolate, cookies, and brownies than yogurt.
3. Madelyn and Sawyer learned how to shoot spider webs out of their wrists a la Spiderman. In fact, an entire car ride in the days following their overnight was filled with wrist flinging, "tsss-ing", and giggles.
4. Someone informed Madelyn that the dog food truck is actually an ice cream truck.

I have so many fun memories of my own of special things that were grandparents-only like Shasta in every flavor imaginable and lots of lefse with butter and sugar. It makes me happy to know my children are having similar experiences with their grandparents.

Thanks, Grammy and Grandad and Aunt Shelley and Uncle Mike for the fun weekend!

Madelyn-isms

"Piggy? Piggy! I didn't ask you to get on the shuttle yet!" - Madelyn playing "quietly" in her room with the Little People Farm. The silo has apparently been transformed into a space rocket.

If only I had half of her imagination...
