The Evil Entropy is Attacking!

Dave rearranged Gideon's room, and when Gideon went to inspect it, he saw the pile of junk that was previously under his bed, and screamed in horror, pointed and cried "ENTROPY!!!" Dave and I just about died laughing, what a kid.

Now THAT'S Excited!

Me (just before sending Judith off to her dance recital): "Are you excited?" Judith: "I'm as excited as a pickle about to be eaten!!!!!"

Following Her Dreams

When Ruthie woke up this morning, she looked at me with a sparkle is her eye and said "Cake?" And she's been begging me to make cake ever since.

Virtue Schmirtue

Judith: "Patience is BORING!!!!"

A Real Spider Superhero!

Judith (looking at the fruit flies around the compost bin): "Whoa! We need to get ourselves a spider in here!"

Girl Logic

Judith: "No! I never ever ever want to do that!!! At least not until I change my mind..."

Nerd Boy

Gideon was in awe of the live band today. He screamed "There's so many decibels!!!" and busted out some nerdy little dance moves in the middle of the street.

Feels Like That Some Days...

Gideon: "You're not 28 anymore, Mom. You're 29! Soon you're going to be 100!!!"

Parenting Win

Gideon: "Hey Mom, are you playing dishes?" Me: "Yes, playing. Here's a towel, you can play too!"

Welcome to Life

Judith (regarding her paper route): "I like the money part, but not the work part."

Mary Poppins... Timelord?

Me: "Wow, how do you think Mary Poppins gets all those big things in her bag?" Judith (matter-of-factly): "It's probably like a TARDIS or something." I love her.

Mommy's Biggest Fan

Ruthie was holding the bag for me as I was harvesting kale, and she started chanting "Go Mommy! Go Mommy!" It's nice having my own cheerleader! Gardening is definitely my sport.

Just Playing!

Ruthie fell asleep this afternoon, and when she woke up I asked if she had a nice nap. She replied "No, I play bed!"

Acknowleding Her Inner Cat

One night as I was saying goodnight to the kids, Judith randomly said in a voice of desperation "I just wish I could sleep in a box!"

2 Year-Old Wisdom

Ruthie: "I don't want fall down the stairs, I be broke!!!"

And Now I Know...

Judith (randomly walks into my room): "Do you know how to do a handstand while holding your favourite animal? You hold it in your mouth!" *demonstrates immediately with Lambie*

Obvious Answer

In the bathtub last night Judith was trying to teach phonics to the other kids. Judith (holding her toy mermaid): "Ariel... A-A-A-Ariel. What does Ariel start with?" Gideon: "A!" Ruthie (looks at the toy): "Hair!" :)

Once Upon a Dream

Judith (randomly): "You know, I was shy once. We were having hot chocolate with marshmallows, we were inside and there was a girl with straight hair. I think I was 3 or 4 or 5. Or maybe it was just a dream..."

Hygiene Concerns

Gideon: "I don't want a vampire to suck my blood, that's disgusting." I suppose it's a valid concern, lol.

Go Daddy!

Flattery Works Sometimes...

Judith (coming in to my room long after she should be sleeping): "Mom, you're the best mom in the world. And do you know what the best moms do? Come and hang out with their kids in their beds!"
