It is no secret that I have not given this blog much attention in the last year or so. But I have been saving quotes from the kids on random scraps of paper and email messages to myself during that time. I've tried to put them in order from most recent to older, but it's not an exact science. I'm sure there are a few more random papers or files kickin' around somewhere, but this will have to do for now. Enjoy!
Ben, Charlotte and Sam with some Jack-o-Lanterns
Oct 2013
Zach: Oh, do you think that's funny?
Charlotte: Yes.
Zach: Okay, let's be a little bit funny.
Charlotte: No, let's be a big, big funny!
Katie: Bye, Charlotte. Be a good girl!
Charlotte: Be a good Mommy!
(While trying to get me to read two books or something)
Katie: Wait, are we reading this one or this one?
Charlotte: No.
Katie: I don't understand.
Charlotte: Think, Mommy!
Sept 2013
Katie: (to Zach) Hey! You didn't kiss me.
Charlotte: Daddy! Come and kiss Mommy!
Zach: Okay, bossy cow.
Charlotte: I not a bossy cow. I a daughter!
Charlotte: (to Zach) You so big! You as big as a house!
(playing Star Wars)
Sam: No, that asteroid field is too treacherous.
Ben: It's an asteroid field. They are treacherous. Being treacherous is their game!
Katie: Come on, Charlotte. Let's go inside.
Charlotte: (leaning over an ant hill) No, I'm gonna stay here with the ants. I love them. I love this one and this one and this one. And I love this one and this one and this one and this one...
Sam: Do you love yogurt?
Charlotte: Yes!
Sam: And I love you!
Charlotte: No!
Sam: I don't mean the eating kind of love.
Sam: I haven't played it in years and probably weeks.
Sam: Hey Mom! If you kick the wall right there the radiation makes this thing fall.
Ben: (to Charlotte) You smell like you usually do.
Katie: What does she usually smell like?
Ben: Baby-ish!
Katie: Come on boys, clean up your room. I'm not asking you to move mountains.
Sam: I wish you were, then we wouldn't have to do it.

Ben: (Pretending to be Frodo): Gandalf! Where have you been all this time? (Responding as Gandalf) Oh, ya know, just chillaxing in this bottomless pit.
Sam: The song says the best part of Christmas is the present you give away, but that's crazy! Who thinks that?
Katie : What is the best part of Christmas?
Sam: The present you get.
Sam: (While I was figuring out how to play Yatzee) Mom, did you look up how to play Nazi?

(after rattling something around in a box)
Sam: Mom, do you think there is nothing in this box?
Katie: Um... it sounds like there is something.
Sam: Well, that was just a trick of the ear.
Ben: Water is his worst fear. That and pickaxes.
July '12
Ben: (Holding a wet towel in the bath) It's a towel fish. I know it's a funny name, but it's not a funny fish. If you saw one in the ocean you would want to run away.
