Future Husband and Wife

Jaclyn had a conversation with her longtime friend, Jacob, about their honeymoon and where they would live, Hawaii, Disneyland. And then Jacob suggested they live in Lego Land in a lego house, followed by Jaclyn's comment, "and we can stay 'til midnight. In Disneyland, we can stay 'til midnight". It was cute.

Earlier in the day, they were talking about friends at school. One boy has not been too friendly to Jake. Jaclyn said, "Well, Jake, maybe you should say sorry for breaking his Lego."
Jake: "I did."
Jaclyn: "Well, maybe if you wait a long, long, long, long time, he will forget about it."

That's My Madison

Her teacher asked me this morning, "How is Madison doing? Is she liking school?"

"YES, she LOVES school. Why?"

"Well, the other day she asked if school was over yet, and I said "No, we have another 15 minutes", then Madison growled, turned her back towards me and wouldn't turn around. Then all the other students wanted to go home, too. It took me awhile to get the group back together. I remember you told me that she sometimes takes 30 minutes to warm-up but sometimes she warms up and sometimes she's just kinda set in her ways." (not exactly verbatim but that was kinda the gist.)

A Conversation in the Car

Madison: "Mommy, I am gonna throw Jaclyn in the garbage."

Me (trying to hold back a laugh): "That's a little bit funny, Madison, but it's also not nice."

Madison: "No, it's a lot funny AND it's nice."

Me: "Not really."

Madison: "Well, can I throw her in the recycle?"

Me: "That's not very nice either."

Madison: Well, how about I throw her way up in the sky?"

Jaclyn: "YOU ARE THE WORSEST SISTER EVER".

Halloween at Microsoft

I took the girls to a Halloween Event at Microsoft. It was actually my first time on the campus. They had all kinds of activities set up, crafts, photo stations, food and of course, lots of candy to pass out. The girls had a blast.

Hanging out with the boys

Hanging out with the Morrison boys when they came down to visit during Canadian Thanksgiving.

one to touch the heart...

Madison to me: "I just love you so much, momma. I love you 10 , 100, 100 million, all the way up to God, and then all the way up to Pluto. Is that a lot? Actually, I love you more than that."

Dilleyland Conversation between Madison and Michael

Madison: "Can we move to Dilleyland?"

Michael: "No, we can't move there."

"Why not?"

"It's a park. You can't live in Disneyland."

"What about the people who work there? Where do they live?"

"Hmmmm. And it's not Dilleyland. It's Disneyland."

"Dilleyland."

"No. No. Dis-ney-land."

"Dil-ley-land."

Madison loving the sorbet pops at the wedding.

Cake Pops at Jandro & Jess' Wedding

THE WEDDING CAKE!

Partying with the bride and groom!

My girls - the flower girls!

Hittin' the dance floor!

Jaclyn and Madison had the last dance with the bride & groom. I am not sure how the bride & groom felt about having the very last dance with their flower girls. What I do know for sure is that Jaclyn and Madison had the time of their lives!

Fun in Mickey's World

At the end of August, we took the kids to Disneyland. We all had an absolute blast. Favourite rides were Splash Mountain, It's A Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Matterhorn. For Michael and I, it was definitely the Scream Machine in Disney's California. That was an amazing roller coaster.

Another Madison Quote

Madison and I were at our regular Chinese restaurant haunt, where the server was chatting her up. After the server left, Madison said, "I don't understand her because she speaks Chinese!"
I said, "But Madison, she spoke English to you."
To which she responded, "I still don't understand her."

(Here's a picture of her on the "Spinning Barrels of Fun" ride at Remlinger Farm yesterday. She had an absolute blast there with her preschool friends. She loved the Hay Maze & Hay Jump, the Mini Roller Coaster, and the train ride. It was a great day. The weather couldn't have cooperated any better.)
