Before breakfast this morning, Madelyn picked a Larabar to take to school for her snack during school breakfast. Tony was telling me about it during dinner.

Tony: In the time from taking her Larabar from the table to her backpack, she lost it.

Me to Madelyn: How did you do that?

Madelyn: I dunno. Magic?

The Larabar was in her backpack, she just forgot she put it where it was supposed to go and didn't see it.

Tony took the girls to Target today to pick up a few things, including more vitamins for them.

Madelyn, as they walk into the store: So, what do we need? Vitamins?
Tony: Yes, but we'll get some other things first.
Madelyn, after they got some packing tape: So, now what's next? Vitamins?
Tony: No, we're going to look for laundry baskets.
Madelyn, after they got laundry baskets: So, now what's next? Vitamins?

Repeat, repeat, and repeat until they got the vitamins, which was the last thing.

I turned on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this afternoon since it was on during the Harry Potter Weekend. Madelyn realized what it was and that it was during a "scary" part of the movie. She kept telling me, "I don't want to watch, but I can't stop watching!"

Madelyn was showing me what she learned in her music class today. She was keeping a steady beat while banging together two sticks and counting.

Me: You have pretty good rhythm unlike your grandpa.
Madelyn: Well, if he got some lessons from me, he would probably be good at it.

Madelyn tried out her thermos with leftover spaghetti in it for lunch today. It was still warm at lunch, and she was excited.

Me: You can have more hot things for lunches if you want.
Madelyn: I could have tomato soup for lunch! Or mac and cheese! Or yogurt!
Me: Yogurt is cold. You can have cold things in it, but I thought you wanted hot food.
Madelyn: Oh yeah....

While I was fixing dinner tonight, which was spaghetti and meatballs, I was also cooking some chicken to use in dinner tomorrow (Thursday). Tony and I often take leftovers for lunch the next day. It's the Lenten season right now, so we can't eat meat on Fridays.

Madelyn: What is that chicken for?
Me: It's to go in tomorrow's dinner. I'm cooking it now because I won't have time otherwise.
Madelyn: You and  Daddy aren't going to take the leftovers for lunch on Friday, are you?!?!

Madelyn was showing me what was in her folder today after school, including her March homework calendar. I wanted to see the calendar.

Me, after picking up Madelyn's new Harry Potter wand that was on the couch next to me and pointing it at Madelyn: Accio homework paper!
Madelyn grinned and excitedly walked the paper over to me: You used magic!
