A: You know Mama, I'm 6 now. That's getting pretty close to being a teenager.

A: Bananas and cheese taste splendid together!

A is telling me about the new abmat jrs at Crossfit: They are blue! I think they made them blue to make them attractive to kids! They are sure attractive to me!

W: A! Please don't run away from me!

A: Sorry, it's just a habit...

Lunch conversation today with the 4-6 year olds:

W lets Jace have some of her crackers.
Lisa: You know what would be funny? If you two got maaaarrriieeedd...
Jace: (makes a face) That would so sad...because I'm going to marry Sophia.
W: (opens her mouth in shock while glaring at Jace) That's not going to happen! I'M going to marry you!
Jace: shrugs

There are days where I just want to bang my head against the wall in regards to the girls. Trying to get them ready for Awana. I tell W to put her shoes on, and she does. In the 2 minutes before going to the car, for no apparent reason she takes them off again so then she's screaming and crying that she doesn't have any shoes on in the garage...

The girls are playing with playdough.

A: I'm making a couch!

W: I'm making carpet!

A commenting on her strength: My muscles are so strong I can barely feel my bones through these thighs.

Sigh. W just go into our beagle's ashes and spilled some of them on the piano. 

There are so many things wrong with that sentence.

We're going to OMSI tomorrow for the Grossology exhibit. I ask A what she thinks we might see there. She ponders for a moment.

A: Are snot and ear wax gross?

Me: Yes.

A: Then I already know alllllllll about gross. This is going to be awesome!
