Things you might hear from Christian at the beach, but maybe not anywhere else...

"Mom, is this my ball?"

-While playing bocci ball

"I'm getting bitten up by horseshoes!"

-Down on the beach; and replace "horseshoes" with "horseflies" (while it makes more sense, it's not as funny)

"Is he in his own butt?"

-a quote heard while watching America's Got Talent

Michaela noticed that she had the same cup at dinner two nights in a row; she held it up and said to me in a grand voice,"My destination must be tied to this cup!"

I asked her if she meant her destiny...that was the one. What a sweet and funny girl.

We were talking in code about milkshakes, so as not to get the kids' hopes up prematurely. Mike asked my mom if we had enough milk for...and he left it at that.

She said to him,"For coke floats?"

He looked at her and said,"Milk for coke floats?!"

She responded,"I'm tired!"

We do wear her out.

We were leaving and Eliana had three stuffed animals; I told her she could take one. She picked one and we put the other two next to the door. I told her they would stay here and take a nap. She giggled and said,"Yeah, they can snuddle!"

Eliana was on my lap and she looked up at me and said,"You're the tootest." I'm guessing she meant the cutest. Which is debatable, I'm sure.

We have a copper-bottomed pot that we don't use very often. In fact, I don't think I've used it for years. Mike used it the other night to heat up some beans, and Michaela saw it in the dishwasher and said,"What is that bowl with the rusty bottom?"

I told her it was a pot with a copper bottom.

She said,"So, the stuff that pennies are made of."

I said,"Yes."

She looked at it for a minute and then said,"So, that is worth about $2.00."

(At Christian's t-ball game)

First base coach: Get the ball!! Get the ball!

Kid on first base: What ball?

My children possess good character traits (along with those that are less desireable, of course)...today I told Michaela that she was so patient. She said,"I know."

After dinner Christian took our Swiffer vacuum and went under and around the table and then all through the house with it (it rocks, by the way). I thanked him for doing that and he said,"I'm just that kind of kid."

They are humble, too!

Eliana: The Jabberwocky is coming! The Jabberwocky is coming!

And no, I have no idea how she knows the word. As usual.
