Halloween Fun

DD4, running down the sidewalk, candy bag in hand, called back to me, "Mom, you should be a kid!"

Conversations With Breakfast

Upon slurping up the last of the milk left in her bowl after eating Cocoa Puffs this morning, DD3 exclaimed, "Chocolate Milk, you're the best!"

Christmas Carols

A page from DS8's Christmas Carols: "Can you make eye contact with what I can make eye contact with?"

Hot Off The Presses

DS decided to write a family newspaper. 

"So, Mom, is there anything interesting going on in your life?" 

Flattered he would do a feature on me, I answered, "Hmmmm.... let me thi..." 

"Oh, never mind," he interrupted. "I'll think of something." 

Apparently there was a deadline.

Bible Study

Now that DD10 is getting older, I'm much more concerned about the content of the books she's reading, so when she came to me with questions about a woman bleeding after having a baby, I was immediately on guard. 

"What book was that in?" I demanded, appalled. 

"The Bible," she replied. 

Darn Leviticus.

Shirking Responsibility

DS8 to DD4: "I bet you don't know how to put this bag in the trash can." 

DD4 (obstinately): "Yes, I can!" 

DD8: "Show me." 

And THAT'S how you get your little sister to do your chores for you.
