Owen reading a map
Owen went with me to the Farmer's Market and ate nearly a whole quart of blueberries on his own! If you look closely you can see that his little bum is stained blue!

Actual conversations with Aidan...
Aidan: "Mom how many days have you and dad been married?"
Mom: "Well, that's a simple math problem. You just take 365 days and multiply it by 8."
Aidan: "No, you need to add 365, 365, and 365 PLUS 366 days, 365, 365, 365 and then another 366."
I had totally forgotten about leap years. Someone had not.
One evening I took Aidan out to run errands with me. I was thinking out loud and said something to this effect...
Mom: "I need 72 inches of fabric for each curtain I am making. I can't remember how many inches are in a yard so I have to figure that out."
Aidan: "Well, there are 12 inches in a foot and three feet in a yard, so you will need 6 feet which is 2 yards."
I then proceeded to argue with him, convinced that my 7 year old was NOT smarter than I am. An argument I am not going to win.
Actual conversations with Owen:
Mom: "Owen, stop eating rocks. "
Owen: "bah!"
Mom: " Owen, stop eating the dirt."
Owen: "da!"
Mom: "Owen, spit out that bug."
Owen: "blahhh." (sticking out his tongue)
Mom: "Owen, the toilet is not for playing in"
Owen: screaming...

Actual recent conversations with Bella...
Mom: Bella why are you taking your clothes off?
Bella: Because I am soakin' hot!
Mike was applying sun block to Bella before going out for the day. Bella had on a sun dress. Bella pulled up her dress and began rubbing sun block on her upper thigh.
Mike looked at her with a blank stare as if to say "what are you doing" Bella commented, "You never know where the sun is going to shine!"
I had just come upstairs to finish getting ready for church. I had on a shirt that has ruffles down the center of the shirt. Bella grabbed the ruffles and began wiping her nose on them. I said "Bella, that isn't a kleenex!" to which she replied, "then what is it?"
