If you’re ever in Bozeman, MT…

Grab lunch at the Community Food Co-op. Make sure you eat it upstairs because you’ll feel like you’re back in Portland. Sally Newsome probably won’t be performing when you’re there, though. And that’d be too bad for you.

the Daily Dichotomy

Mia (9):  If you had to be a boy, who would you be?
Clara (8):  My dad.
Mia:  Why?
Clara:  Because he’s the best guy I know.  Who would you be?
Mia:  Robin Hood.  From the play.
Clara:  Scott?!
Mia:  Yeah.
Clara:  Why?
Mia:  ‘Cuz he’s the star of the show.

Makaena Turns Nine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIA!!!

At McGrath’s Fish House…

Aidan (6): You like fish food, dad?

Paige (5, commenting to our server on Makaena’s sundae): I had one just like that at Red Robin but it was waaay bigger.

Aidan: I’m stuffed. I’m gonna cry.

Makaena Turns Nine Tomorrow

After trying to put together her birthday list…

Mia: Mom? There’s not really anything that I want. And I couldn’t even think of anything that I need. I have everything.

Hunter

Mindy had been wondering why Joshua (2) kept saying “shoot, shoot bird” as he was going to bed the last few nights.  Tonight she realized that there was a shadow on Joshua’s wall that scared him.  Apparently, to him, it looked like a bird.

Joshua:  Shoot.  Shoot bird.

As I was writing yesterday’s post…

Mia (8):  That’s money right there, baby.

I Heart Sunday School

Mindy: Mia, you’ve never seen your mom or dad drunk because daddy’s never been drunk and the last time mommy was drunk she was in high school.
Mia (8): You’ve been drunk?
Mindy: I was a dumb teenager.
Mia: Did you lay down naked on your bed?
Mindy: …
Ian: …
Mia: Like Noah?

As promised…

Oh. And Mia has a short solo at the end.

We had brunch at…

Camp 18 and we kept going.  See?
