Silly kids

One morning while Pete and Strider were gone:
Colsen: Is lunch ready yet?
Me: Does it look ready?
Colsen: No. Go make some lunch!
Me: Hey, do you think I'm your servant?
Colsen: I AM the man of the house...

Outside as we're walking through the yard,

Me:  Look, there's a little pine tree growing here!

Colsen:  Oh good, can I have the pineapple?

Where does he get this stuff??

Strider:  Mom, have you ever taken a cube of sugar and put it on your tongue, and flipped it up on your nose and held it there for a second, and then flipped it over your head and caught it on your back foot?
Me:  No.
Strider.  Too bad.  You could have qualified for the Sugar Cube Competition.  It's weird, no one has qualified so far!

One afternoon...

Me:  How was your day, Strider?

Strider:  Well, I was doing SCHOOL and I don't like schoolwork.

Colsen:  If he doesn't like doing school, we should just make it fun for him.  Like let him eat a cupcake while he's doing school.

Meanwhile, this was the scene here a few nights ago when I told them they could take down our paper sun...

Yep, it's crazy 'round here.
