No Funny Business

Harper: Hands up!! No funny business! It's Captain America! [shooting]

When I Get Older

Samara: Mom, when you get a little older, I'll teach you how to play this game.

Iron Man is a WHAT?!?!?

Harper: I love Iron Man!

Samara (4): Me too. Iron Man's a good guy!

Harper: No, Iron Man's A GIRL!!!

She's categorically unwilling to even consider otherwise, and quite beside herself when we try to convince her that her favorite superhero is a boy.

Basketball knowledge

Hyrum: Blake Griffin is a terrible free throw shooter!

Brad: Yeah, he's good at other stuff, but free throws are a huge problem.

Asher: Sounds like he's good at everything except practicing.

Another "Real" Dad Discussion

Asher's first comment, from months ago, is here.

Isaac: Dad, do you like having such short hair?
Brad: Yeah
Asher: It makes him look cool. It makes him look like a real dad.

Raining

Asher: It's raining like an elephant spraying water in your face.

Magna Doodle Art

This is how Hy spent the evening of No Media Day. He said, "There was nothing else to do." Love it!!

Anniversary

11 years ago, Brad and I got married.

To congratulate us first thing this morning, Harper woke up in her own vomit and poo. She held up her blanket and reported, "poo-poo come out my mouth accident." Sigh. At least she's cute right?

Samara's epic dream

Samara: "Dad, I had a dream about a dragon and Isaac was a knight trying to kill it and guess what I was."

Me: [please, please don't say princess...]

Samara: "I was a superhero helping Isaac kill it! My power was stinging and I stinged the dragon's eye and its eye FELL OUT!!"

A REAL dad

Asher: "Dad, why do you get so many haircuts? Is it so you can look like a *real* dad?"

Good Name for a Horse

Samara: Hey, dad---know what's a good name for a horse? Plossy.

Best prayer ever... so far

During the prayer tonight, Isaac ended with "and please bless that tomorrow we will have a proud and happy day and please bless that tomorrow Mom won't be so anxious."

Burnin' Cowboy

We had just crossed into Texas. Isaac noticed a large bonfire about 50 yards off the freeway and he said, "Ya think they're burnin' a cowboy?" Upon further questioning, he was wondering if they were burning a cowboy like they burn Darth Vader in Star Wars. Cremation people. Cremation, not torture.

Samara: "And it came to pass that the Lord of the princess and the dad..."

Samara: What would happen if we had 3 moons? Would we all be cows? Cows live in barns.
Me: Maybe so.
