This blog chronicles the lives of our sons, mostly Marcus for whom this blog is named after (Madman) and his brother Hunter. They play, they laugh, they beat each other up and they bring joy to our lives...pretty much every day ;-)

rhyming

Hunter was in a rhyming mood tonight…Tuck, muck, fuck, cluck, suck, duck, buck, cuck, muck......

a really big question

Madman’s declaration to us over dinner tonight: "Mooooooooommmyyy, I have to ask you a really big question!" ‘Ok, what is it?’ “Can you leave me in charge of the house?”


lungs

 So Madman bombs upstairs into the bedroom as Annette was just taking off her shirt..."Mommy! Can I touch your lungs?" Ooh, our sweet innocent little boy :)

pool party

Once again I turn around to find Madman inviting himself into our neighbor's pool gathering? Knock, knock, knock (Gate opens) "Hi, it's me Marcus. Can I come in? What a lovely pool you have...."

problem solved

We’re pulling into a restaurant to eat and Madman has a fit because he wants to eat at a different place. “Marcus, I can’t eat at that restaurant and you know that.” “ Nan, you can just sit there. Problem solved.” ----this is when your words came back and bite you in the ass!

payback kiddo

I am such a bad mommy! Madman grabbed the lemon from my glass n ate it. Payback kiddo, payback

10 instead

“Madman has a birthday coming up next month too, He’ll be 5.” “Ahhhhh Mom, can’t I just be 10 instead?”


Easter Bunny

“Hunter, there is no such thing as the Easter bunny!” “YES there is!!” “NO there isn’t, it doesn’t exist” “YES IT DOES MARCUS!!! Where do you think all the eggs come from?” “You mean the plastic eggs?”

Good night Madman

'Marcus, what are you doing up?' "I heard a moo moo, a cockadoodle doo, a nay nay and a vroom vroom." 'Good night Marcus.'

22 minute monologue

Madman’s 22 minute monologue at 1:19 AM was just as comical as if he said it in the afternoon. Actually, a bit more so because he had our undivided extremely groggy attention. It started with Hunter being lost in the woods and ended with Madman being tucked into his bed only to call out for us to “turn his light on so he could see his carrots” as he sat there in bed actually eating from a container of carrots!?!?!
