that's what he said

I still have an "awesome wedding" post percolating, but Blake's been full of some good ones lately. I usually write them on little scraps of paper and then have them floating around the house. This is cleanup time.

B: Dear God, please help us to sell the whole house so we can have a bigger house. And help us to have a pet and help us to have more rooms for more kids and help us to have bigger closets and help us to have a trampoline and video games and help us to have a swingset -
R: Ok, I'm going to take over for praying now.

A: I pretty much just whimpered and said, "Owie," over and over.
R: Yeah, that would break me. I could handle yelling and cussing: I'm USED to that!

B: Are you? I'm a rock star. / Are you? I'm a rock star. (to the tune of Party Like a Rock Star)

B: It's just so strange that I'm in kindergarten.
A: Really? Why?
B: Well, I just changed and am bigger and I'm feeling weird about it.
A: You're growing. You don't have to feel weird about it. It's actually pretty normal. As normal as you may ever be, coming from THIS family anyway.
B: Yeah. It's just
