Since we’ve been here…
By Moriah on May 20th, 2008
- When we first arrived at my parents’ house, my mom dropped everything to get ready for an event she had to go to that night. She was just finishing up getting dressed in this gorgeously feminine red suit and Drew walked in, took one look at her, and goes, “NICE!” I fully expected him to give her a high-five.
- One day we grown-ups were discussing plans our for the day when Drew piped up with a very enthusiastic “won’t that be great?!”
- Drew: “What’s the atter, Madelaide?” I think Adelaide was whining about something. It was cute to see such a little boy get tongue-tied.
- I asked Drew if he wanted his socks and shoes on to go outside, and he replied “No, just my feet.”
- Somehow Drew and Madeline climbed up into my parents’ Blazer and found an old dark pink lipstick in the console compartment. I won’t even tell you what a mess that was or how hard it was to remove from clothing, hands, and faces.
- “I eat all the tic-tacs!” Madeline, pointing to her mouthful of half-eaten tic-tacs, sugary drool dripping down her chin.
- A couple of nights ago before dinner we were starting to pray and Drew looked up, interrupted and said “we’re praying, Cassandra.” (In the most condescending tone ever.) We all bust out laughing.
- I left Drew and Madeline with Carrissa over at my grandparents’ house Sunday night so I could come back and put the baby to bed. They were playing Legos with my Granddad and didn’t want to leave, and she was watching the Country Music Awards there anyway. Later when they walked through the door, Madeline was carrying this flat rectangular lego creation she’d made. Carrissa told me she had asked her what it was and Madeline had replied, “a dog.” Could’ve fooled me.
- Last night as my mom was tucking Drew and Madeline in bed, Drew looked up at her and said, “thanks for having us, Grandmommy.” She melted. And no, I did not put him up to it.

I think I would have melted too. So cute, lipstick is the worst thing to get into a childs hand…but sure makes good pictures for when they’re all grown up. :)
