It scared my pants out

Said my 3 year old regarding some – obviously frightening – experience in his life.

What do you want to be for Halloween this year?

“A lollipop or gum”, answered my 3 year old.

Ah HAAH!!!

“PLEASE don’t do that any more, Daddy!”, cried my three year old.

I guess I can see that.  I don’t think I’d like it very much if someone yelled “Ah HAAH!” behind me when I was walking up the steps.

That’s spinach talk

…said my 3 year old. 

“Is that good or bad talk?”, I asked.

“It’s good talk.”

Naming their stuffed animals

1st daughter’s - “Beaufort”
2nd daughter’s – “Sparkle”
3rd daughter’s – “Old Mr. Stripes”

1st son’s – “Aunt Jodi”
2nd son’s – “Green Bear”  (it was a green bear)
3rd son’s – “Captain Miller”
4th son’s – “Thu Knox”

OTT, brother!

It stands for “Over the top…”, and it is what my 5 year old tends to do some times – in his reactions, play, etc. 

The other day, my wife heard my three year old say to his older brother, “OTT, brother, OTT!”

Stopping Traffic

My 5 year old thinks he’s in charge.  We were crossing the parking lot at the grocery store the other day, and he put up his hand to stop the cars as we passed.

Can you say, “I’m lying to you right now”?

If you’re lying when you say it, you’re not.  If you’re not lying when you say it, you are, so you’re still not.

I love the look on my 12 year old’s face when he tries to figure it out.

Coast Guard Festival – Parade of boats

We went and saw a couple of the big boats come in today.  Pretty cool.

She answers her phone now

Must be the new black berry.
