Good catch

Sis pointed out they spelled our name wrong on this:

Thrill a minute

I told the kids something exciting was happening (family friends were coming over). Bro's reaction: you really need to work on better defining what's exciting in terms of what we think.

Caught it

Just blew Sis a kiss across the room. She smiled and then reached out and grabbed it. Love that one!

How kids break news

"There isn't any blood or anything and no one's really hurt. The sliding door is just broken, well not exactly like broken like shattered or in a pieces, there's not glass or anything. It's just not where it should be. It kind of seems like a big deal but really no one is hurt and it may not be that hard to fix. Because it's just not right. It's not broke broke, like really broken, it's just not fixed any more. OK so that's it. I just didn't want you to freak out."

Wondering what happened: barn doors on master closet were off the track after a kid ran into them. Why are we playing in the master closet? Hide and go seek. Kid view: "there are some of the sweetest spots in the house in there." And "no one really goes in the mom and dad room. Our house is one of the only ones you can." Door is fixed. All good and no blood indeed.

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.

How my girl plays

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

On a kick!

Sis learned to make fortune tellers. You just can't have enough fortune!

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!!"

Presidents

15th president per sis: Bew-chain-un.

Yellowstone

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

Boy perspective

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

Ouch!

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.

Seasonal work

Bro just asked Dad if I work "year round". If only there were seasonal Directors of Communications jobs with benefits... A girl can dream.
