When the cat's away, Maddie will play.

Madison and Dad spent some time together on Friday afternoon while mom was away. We had lots of fun together and took a few pictures to boot. I'll let Maddie narrate these pictures from her perspective.

"Dad thought it would be a good idea to zoom
around on this here chair . . ."
"Hi ho Silver, away!"

"I thinking I'm gettin' a little dizzy dad!"
"It may look like drool but I actually communicate w/ my bottle
through this tiny fiber optic cable . . ."
"Look mom, no hands!" Use the force my young Jedi!
"OK, you are right, there is something that rivals the
size of my chubby cheeks . . . it's my smile!" "OK, it looks like I am hyperextending the subtalar joint in
my ankle, but I am just stretching my Achilles for
a little more rigorous exercise." "Aren't I just a ray of sunshine!" "Life doesn't get any better than this"
"Hey dad, how do you like this cute pose?"
Warning: Skin is softer and more supple than it appears"I wish I had biggy-sized this. 5 oz. goes quick."
According to my keen sense of touch, this appears to be an amide that is derived from acrylic acid, that polymerizes easily, and is used in the manufacture of synthetic textile fibers.

Here are a few pictures taken after mom got home:

"Hey, are you telling me there is nothing we can do about world hunger?"

"Alright Central America, where do you want me to kiss you?"

"I think I could operate this machine if i could only reach
the pedals. . . and the steering wheel . . .
and the gear shift . . . and the radio . . . and the . . ."

"I am pooped. Dad really wore me out"

As you can tell Mike takes pictures of everything!!! He couldn't wait to post these on the blog. He didn't mention that while I was gone he also did two load of laundry and ran the dishwasher. I should leave more often, huh?

Oh my goodness! I just laughed through the whole thing! Mike, you sure do have an imagination! If Maddie could talk, I'm sure she would say exactly those things! I loved it, it was very entertaining! Mom, where'd you go?
Crazy kids!

Hey!!!!I had so much fun with you guys last weekend. I really wish we could have spent even more time together. I have to admit there was even a split second when I thought "we should move here too",and then I remembered where you live. :) Move back closer!!
