We were talking about how long the kids would fit on their current bikes before needing new ones. Zach said to Staley, "When you outgrow your bike, do you know what your next bike will probably be?" (He was referring to a bike with different speeds.) She responded, "A unicycle!"
Briggs does really well counting, but if there are too many to count or he's trying to think of the biggest number he can, he always says "a million and a billion."
My kids don't refer to the days of the week by their actual names. They refer to the days of the week by who is watching them or what is happening that day. Therefore, instead of Monday through Sunday, our week is: Mommy Day, Uma Day, Grammie Day, Mommy Day, Mommy Day, Family Day, Church Day.
We are often encouraging my brother Evan and his family to move to Eureka. A few weeks ago as we were walking through town, Staley pointed out some neat old houses and we had this conversation:
Staley: "These are neat houses. Maybe we could ask the owners if they would sell their house to Aunt Melissa and Uncle Evan."
Me: "I don't think Aunt Melissa and Uncle Evan really want to move to Eureka because they both work in Bloomington."
Staley: "They could just get jobs in Eureka. They could work at IGA or Pizza Hut." (In a moment of inspiration) "Oh, I know, I know!!! They could work at the new Dollar General!"
Briggs walked out of the bathroom and announced, "I named my poop Floaty because it's just floating in there."
Our days are never dull...and neither are our conversations.
