DS1 did one of those fill in the blank thing a for Father’s Day. My dad likes to: “work on his wood”. Funny, I heard you like to work on his wood too.

Tonight we made sundaes after dinner and M watched J put a maraschino cherry on top of his. She asked for a grape to put on hers instead. It tickled me so much that I'm still giggling about it 2 hrs later.

T was in the bathroom and I told R to tell him it was almost bedtime and she went and yelled “Daddy! The fun is continuing!” It’s so funny to me that she’s old enough to think that quickly and be purposely funny.

R made me a card and when I asked what it said she told me “I love you, mom! ...but sometimes you’re kinda boring.”

We went swimming the other day and B swam (with floaties)all the way out to the ropes with me for the first time. We treaded water for a few minutes and he said “this is disgustingly awesome.”

"We should put a sign on our car that says 'We don't like the president and you shouldn't either'"
(we had a conversation a few weeks ago about the president because she pointed out a Dump flag on a truck while we were driving)

Last night, Nugget asks me who my grandma is, so I told her that Great Grandma is my grandma, and also I had another grandma who died when she was a baby.
"What happened to her after she died?"
"Well, some people believe you go to heaven, and some-"
"Did they throw her in the garbage????"
and thus my evening was spent explaining coffins and burial and cemeteries and cremation, which segued into mummies and we ended the night watching youtube videos about mummies.

F has started going "mwah, mwah" when he wants/is giving kisses. So last night he was playing with his toy cars and started bumping the bumper of one against the other and going "mwah, mwah" 😂

Tonight J had tomato soup for dinner and he was absolutely thrilled with it and was slurping so.damn.loud.
So I was like "hey J I'm glad you like your soup but it's kind of rude to slurp loudly while you are eating."
He immediately says "actually mom in some cultures it is considered rude *not* to slurp your soup. Like in China."
And then I said nothing because he is absolutely correct. But wtf how does he know that? So I guess we will work on slurping "quietly".

At bedtime, R said "I wish I could stop time. Make all the clocks stop ticking and screens moving...except the tvs. I don't want to miss my shows."

M has started adding "just in case" to the end of a lot of her statements.
Mom I want to eat some ice cream, just in case. Mom I'm going to go sit on the front porch, just in case.
It's adorable.

Finn does this thing where he'll be running around going "whoaaaa" and then "fall" on the ground, all while making sure you're watching. Just today he started to say "you okay" when he gets back up lol.

On the bike path- H (5) had to pull over and regroup, so she was a little behind me. H: look out, Mommy! I’m coming in hot!

R was telling her sisters that they can't have horseback riding lessons because they're not big enough. A says "Well, then we'll do DONKEY lessons. They're smaller than horses and we'll fit perfectwy."

C is going to be going to Nugget's preschool two mornings a week and yesterday, Nugget and I had a whole conversation about it:
"Oh no! What will Daddy do when C and me are at school? He will be so lonely!!"
"I'm sure he'll find something to do..."

Fair question I have never considered.
