Just weird

Overheard in the daily kid shuffle between sis and a bestie "Youvate so weird. But the good kind of weird I mean that as a compliment".
"I always take 'weird' as a compliment."

Fall colors

Sis said she was having fall cheerios this morning.

Sent from my iPhoneYep Sis's LEGO friends are badasses! Somewhere traded puppies and presents for a secret hideout and combat training!

Personalities

Asked kids to run something up to the campground office.
One said, "Now? Walk? Really? Can't we just drop it when we drive by?"
The other, "OK Let's do this!!"

Yellowstone

Bro: seriously?! Millions of people go inside a still active volcano to look at poisonous gas features. That makes no sense at all.

As we pass working balers on the WY/MT border Bro says, "whoa it is like it's pooping hay bales"

Sis: My eyeballs are literally hurting it's so pretty!

Well in this case...

Mommy what's a chairman?
A person who leads a Board of directors.
Oh, for a second there I thought it was a dude who sits in a chair.
Well, sweets, in this case that is pretty much all ours is capable of.

Smell the roses

Proud of Brother who took time to notice and point out these budding trees on the way out of swimming. I had walked right past them in my rush to pick him up. Didn't even see them on the way back to the car til he said "Wow mom! Look - the trees bloomed. They're beautiful!"

Superbowl and super smart mouth

My 11 year old when I told him you can't throw things on the field. "You mean it's not okay for anyone to throw anything on the field?"

"Correct, they'd throw you out of the stadium"

"Well then someone should kick the quarterback out." Smartie pants

Count your blessings

Bro just told sis how much he misses recess. "Cherish that while it lasts," he said. "Also cherish practically no homework. I miss that too."
