Maggie Funnies

On Friday, when Maggie was spending the afternoon with Bob and Karen, she was pretending to be a baby.  Karen tried to persuade her to pretend to be a big girl.  Maggie said, "Okay.  I'll be 16 because then I can have a baby."  Karen's reply, "Oh no.  You have to be at least 26 before you can have a baby!".

On Sunday, Maggie woke up and said to my mom, "Nana, it's too bad we don't have any stones left.  I would like to have a stone."  My mom, confused at first, finally figured out Maggie was talking about scones.

While Maggie, my mom, and I were at church on Sunday, Maggie asked how much longer we had before it was over.  I explained to her that there was just a little more to do and that mass was almost over.  Five minutes later, Maggie asked who Matt was.  I had no idea what she was talking about.  So, I asked her.  She repeated that she didn't know who Matt was and wondered who I was talking about.  Then, I figured out she misunderstood me when I said mass.

Last night, when my brother, dad, mom, and I were sitting out on their deck, Maggie walked out with her life preserver she plays with at my parent's house.  It was around her neck and she proceeded to tell us that she hurt her neck so she needed to wear it that way.

Maggie's latest phrase that she used on me the other day when I told her something..."Hmm hmm.  I know that's right!"  Now, it may not sound so funny when I type it, but you have to imagine her saying it with the full attitude in her voice.  Needless to say, my mouth dropped open and I about died laughing the first time she said it.

As always, there is never a dull moment when Maggie is around!!

Grandparent's Day and Other Weekend Activities

Last Friday was Grandparent's Day at school.  Both Rob's parents and mine made it down.  She was pretty excited and wired, too!  She suckered both sets of them into taking her to the book fair and into buying multiple things!!  She even had a list made up of the books and things she wanted!  Karen said Maggie walked right over to a princess book, picked it up, and took it to the cashier.  Of course they ended up buying it for her!

My parents went to the first session and Rob's parents went to the second one.  So, after it was over, Bob and Karen were able to sign Maggie out.  They took her to get ice cream at Dairy Queen, to visit Daddy at Pizza Hut, and to swing at the park.  That night, after Rob got off of work, we all went out to eat dinner.  Now, here comes the shocking part...Maggie actually looked at us and said, "I'm so tired.  When we get home, can I go straight to bed?"  That is so completely shocking because Maggie NEVER admits she's tired, let alone asks to go to bed!!!

Rob's parents ended up spending the night with us on Friday night.  They also spent the day with us on Saturday.  Karen, Maggie and I even went to Louisburg Cider Mill for a little while.  After Rob left for work,  Bob, Karen, Maggie and I were invited up to my parent's house for dinner.  So, we all went up for some BBQ and then Maggie and I spent the night.

On Sunday, my brother, sister in-law, niece and nephew met us at my parent's house to watch the Chief's game and eat lunch.

Overall, we had a wonderful weekend spent with family!

Lindsay and Chris' Wedding

This past weekend, Rob, Maggie and I drove to Indiana for my cousin Lindsay's wedding.  We drove out Friday, went to the wedding on Saturday, and drove home on Sunday.  It was wonderful seeing my aunts, uncles, and cousins!  I haven't seen them in too long.  We got to spend a lot of quality time with them between meals out together, hanging out at the hotel, and sitting together chatting at the reception.  We don't get to see each other near as much as we should.  As usual, Maggie was a pro traveler!  She watched some movies, read some books, slept, snacked, etc.  Yesterday, on the way home, she fell asleep 2 different times and probably slept for about 3 hours total.  She must have been catching up from all her late night partying with the Gadlage family!!  Here are some photos from my cousin's wedding:
