They Say...

Me as Gabe is spinning in circles with Noah who was supposed to be going to bed. "We're not trying to rile him up right now."

Gabe - "But that is my job as a dad!"

Alena when I commented on how funny she is, "I know. I get it from my dad."

The other night Alena and I were playing dress up with her wooden doll and she gave the doll clogs to go with her sweat pants of the same color.

Me - "Alena, she needs running shoes. She can't run in heels."

Alena - "Yeah, but at least the colors match."
Priorities...

Hearing Noah cry from the other room, I ask, "What's wrong with Noah?"

Alena responds, "Nothing. He's just dramatic."


The kids have to clean up the bedding mess around the chinchilla's cage. As they're sweeping I hear Alena grumble under her breath, "Daddy wants clean. I'll give him clean."
And she did!
