This week, we went to a bonfire with friends, performed many science experiments, and had fun game schooling.

1. Leighton and I always wonder why the kids walk passed him to look for me around the house. Now we know.

Me: "You guys, Dad is right here. Why didn't you just ask him?"
Jake: "Because if we ask Dad, there's a 75% chance of 'no.'"

2. Nicholas, watching Double Dare: "Why do they always do Physical Challenge? That gets boring."

3. Jake, after Nicholas mispronounced a word: "Aw, he still has that little boy accent."

4. Nicholas, because he wanted hairspray: "I want my hair crunchy."

5. Me: "But, honey, this is a big kid game."

Nicholas: "I am a big kid."

Me: "You are?"

Nicholas: "Yes. And you are not a big kid."

Me: "I'm not? Well then, what am I?"

Nicholas: "You are a big mama."

6.

7. Commercial: "Every season starts with Dicks."

Jake: "No, it doesn't. It starts with a temperature change."

8. Nicholas, because he took off his pants: "I didn't stay my pants on."

9. Nicholas: "Is Gramma coming tonight?"
Me: "No, not tonight."

Nicholas: "Aww, I wanted to spend the night again!"

10. Nicholas, telling me his recipe: "Put sugar in it first. Then this. Shake it up. Then you hot it. Then you eat it!"

11. Nicholas, about music in the van: "Mama, can you turn it down so I can hear it louder?"

12. Tyler, talking about his favorite season: "Summer is my friend! Winter is my other friend . . . Spring and fall are my friends, too."

13. Alyssa: "I have a winter coat that has a hood that goes on an off."

Nicholas, concerned: "Aww, we can tape it."
