Get Up and Run Around

Grandpa's not old, but he's past that getting up and running around thing. Every time we play Wii, I beat him. Even on the games I'm not good at.

Favorite Parts

Upon waking up this morning.

Zach: Mom, this is one of my favorite parts of my life. You know why? I love it when it's just my family at home and we're all doing something fun.

Those crazy teenagers

Pre-bus talk....

Zach: I don't understand teenagers. They just get right on the bus. They don't look back, don't get a hug, nothing.

Betsy: That's right. You'll never be like that.

Copping 'Tude

While waiting for the bus....

Betsy: I couldn't believe how much work Mrs. Smith showed us at your conference! Kindergarten is a lot of work! You must be so busy every single day.

Zach: Which is WHY I should be treated RIGHT when I get home.

I'm not HAPPY that I'm not allowed to refuse to take out the compost.

Terrible

Zach: Can I play PBSkids.org?

Betsy: No.

Zach: Mom, now you sound like YOU have the terrible two's.

Betsy: Huh?

Zach: You're always saying 'No'.

Beautiful

Betsy, to Katie, who's been musing about lipstick:

Betsy: Little girls are all too beautiful to wear lipstick.

Zach: Well, so are you, Mom.

Betsy: Well, that's good, because I'm not wearing any.

Zach: Yeah, because if you were wearing lipstick with that outfit, you'd look ridiculous. If you dress up fancy, then you look beautiful with lipstick.
