"I'm graceful but I'm also impulsive. I'm glad God gave me ninja-like powers. And I'm glad for especially the help of Dad. He trains me in ninjitsu." (Bet none of you can guess which kid said this.) His brother, on the other hand, said, "Can I go to rest time early? I need to be in my room by 4:00 because that's when I'm taking my stuffed animals on their field trip." "Oh? Where are you going today?" "Pompeii."

(overheard)
Alex: You were mean to me when we were in Mom's belly! You were kicking my bubble!
Will: Well, you were kicking *my* bubble!

While stirring something, I mentioned that the tip of my pinky finger accidentally brushed the batter. Will said, "That's fine. Your germs aren't dirty; they're sweet, like you are." I guess I'll keep him after all.

Quotes from dinner
Will: What's the most beautiful place you've ever been to?
Alex: Hmm, I can't think of one ...
Me: Kiawah Island? Hunting Island State Park? The mountains in NC with the waterfalls?
Alex: I think it would actually be Grandma and Grandpa's house [i.e. the house I grew up in, in Indianapolis], because the trees there are really beautiful, don't you think? 
***
Me to Tom: What do you think we should do to celebrate our anniversary this year?
Will: I know! You could play a game of Monopoly while you babysit us!
