Brewer's Game

Thanks to the Microbiology Department at MCW (and thanks to Necia Kagie &Jana & Keith Wells who watched the kids), Tyce & I were able to enjoy great seats--much closer than I'd expected--at a Brewer's game September 8th. I don't really have anything insightful to say about it. I enjoyed myself a lot more than I expected to--especially when a foul ball flew right above our heads. I wish we could've gotten a picture of that one!

This was posted at the entrance to all the bottom-level sections, I think. It was funny to pass it, all the same, on the way to our own seats.

Tyce really enjoyed the racing sausages:

I thought it was great that this guy delivered the game ball:

Nathan, Katie & Ivy quotes small enough to fit in the sidebar

Ivy (after church): Guess what!!
Dad: What?
Ivy: Rich Blessings are in stores!

Dad: This is good country music, right?
Kids nod or give some sign of assent.
Dad: You know some people don't like country music.
Nathan, thoughtfully: Oh, is that why they made cities?

Nathan to Dad: "Pretty lively for a man your age. 30 years old. Pretty lively."

Nathan: "...great, great, great, great Grandpa. He's so old, he died already!"

Nathan: "That smells like Grandpa Shepherd!"
Mom: "What smell?"
Nathan: "That smell! You know, hair...whitish...oldish..."

Nathan: "What would you like, sir?"
Katie: "Water and cake."
Nathan: "We only have water. That's the problem."
Katie: "Oh... I just want cake then."

Katie (as Nathan & Dad are wrestling on the living room floor): I'm going to go wrestle with the boys. Hi-ya! (She said the last as she dived head first into the mix.)

Katie tends to add consonants to words that end in vowels. My favorites: shampoop & tu-tut (you know, tutu with a t).

Nathan: Mom, why does "shampoo" have the word "pooh" in it?

Mom: Nathan, do you want me to listen while you say your prayers or do you want to say them after I go?
Nathan: All this answering is giving me a crick in the neck!

Nathan: What are you doing?
Dad: Making bagels.
Nathan: You don't know how to make bagels.
Dad: Yes, I do.
Nathan: Do you have a recipe?
Dad: Yes.
Nathan: Hey, what's the bagel idea?!

Dad: If you get burned badly enough, you can die.
Nathan: Did you get burned badly enough and die?
Dad, in an ironic tone: Did I die?
Nathan: Well, did ya?

I was playing with Nathan & Katie and pretending to be their sister. A little while into playing, Nathan decided that I would be "Emily," then said, "Hi, Emily--girl that I was going to marry. I'm sorry I can't marry you now that you're my sister."

During Nathan's nightly prayer:
"Help me to love Mommy as much as you do."

During the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, Nathan saw a balloon of Spongebob and called out, "Spongebob Cheesepants!"
Later, we saw Snoopy. This time he called out, "Snowplow!...uh, what's his name?"

Nathan: "Stuffed animals chase bad dreams away. Didn't you know that?"

Katie, making the sound of a doorbell: "Ping-pong."

Usually, it's not so much what Katie says, but how she says it. Like a little mimic--or, more appropriately, a little mommy. My own mini-me. Gushing: "I so happy to see you!" Stern: "Nathan!" Sweet: "Hi, gorgeous!"
