earings

Madi has fun playing with earings. She does not have pierced ears, I was 18 when I got mine pierced so... She does not ask but she does like those sticker earings. Well, I was at the PX and found these clipons she can play with now too. She thought she was hot stuff.

A few weeks ago we roamed around a Korean museum. When we stumbled upon this exhibit Ben asked what it was. Madi: "Duh, it's the Korean War". Loud enough for all in the room to hear...bless her little heart, I am still chuckling.

Last Thursday night I enjoyed a night out with other women. My friend Kelley took a yummy dip to share with all. It was something I have never had before...Taboli. She gave me the recipe that night and I made it for my family the next day...it taste like summer.
