This week in 2 blue land

Anecdotes from this past week:

I have two little superheroes running around with cardboard shields, strategizing in very deep voices. The dark-haired one started advancing toward me threateningly and the blond one was quick to say, "No, don't fight her! She's my mom!" ♥

*************************

 Alex, as I was loading groceries into the car: "Good job buying tilapia, Mommy! It's my favorite. You're a nice person. I love you." Heart melted again. (I think he's making up for trying to attack me earlier today. ;))

*************************

As I was heading out solo for a doctor appointment, Will told me seriously, "Be careful! If there are any bad guys, just call us, and we will come, OK? And remember to bring your cell phone!"

A message from above ...

(During naptime, about 20 minutes after I told the boys, "OK, no more talking; it's quiet time.")
Will: Hey, Mommy! God is coming to you!
Me: God is coming to me?
Will: Yeah. God is coming to you to tell you something.
Me: Really? What's he coming to tell me?
Will: He's not coming to die you. (?!) He's just coming to tell you that I can talk for a little bit before I go to sleep. OK?

Traffic jam

As we were leaving the Y today, we got caught in a bit of a traffic jam thanks to early school dismissal. I was kicking myself for not taking an alternate route when Alex piped up excitedly from the back seat, "It's a car party!"
I love 4-year-olds.
