They Say...

The other day, Adelie made a popsicle recipe out of a cookbook she got from the library.  It was just frozen apple juice and gummy bears.  Briggs was trying it out and exclaimed, "Adelie!  This is SO good!  It's like a professional popsicle!"

A few weeks ago, the kids participated in a road race/fun run over in Bloomington.  It was hosted by a local community college to support their cross country program.  While on their campus for the race, Adelie asked, "What college is this?"  I replied, "Heartland."  To which she responded, "Isn't that the college that's really hard to get into?"  I had to think for a second and then said, "Nope.  You're thinking of Harvard."

We were talking to the kids about going as a family to watch the high school cross country state meet several weeks ago.  Briggs, who apparently had his fill of watching cross country meets, began to throw a fit about going.  As he was yelling about the meet, he shouted, "I hate cross country!  It's stupid and boring and weird!  All you do is clap and cheer for a bunch of runners."

Briggs shared this little insight with me the other day.  "People say that water doesn't have a taste, but it actually does.  I can't really explain it, but it just tastes sort of watery."

Briggs was having a conversation with Zach about the library.  He stated,  "I love the library...(long pause)...and the Smoky Mountains."

These kids just make me smile!
