Yesterday at preschool, Ezra told Karis to get everyone quiet because he had an announcement. She did, and he told them, "I'm going to make you all paper toys!"

Ezra: Mommy, you know how some birthday parties don't have snacks? I want my birthday party to be like that. I want it to don't have snacks.

I took the kids to McDonald's (to eat yogurt and play on the playground) where they ogled the Happy Meal toy display and Ezra told Jude, "Jude, you can have those toys if you eat meat."

Ezra: Mommy, I wrote a Christmas song! It's called "Bells Is What Make Our Christmas Better."

Jude, jumping on Ezra in bed: Wake up, Edwa! Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Ezra: No, you wake up!
Jude: No, you wake up!
Ezra: No, you wake up! Jude (to me): Edwa won't wake up. He need new batteries.

Ezra: Mommy, I have something to tell you. Did you know leprechauns get to be as long as your thumb?
Me: Is that right?
Ezra: Yes.

Me, reading Ranger Rick Jr.: "Geckos chirp, croak, squeak, and bark. Some geckos even say, 'Gecko!'"
Ezra: Wow, that's clever!

Jude, going to bed last night with the fan on: I fweeze now.

Me: Did you finish your biscuit?
Jude: Yeah. It's good. It's all in my tummy.

Ezra pulled on the door to our mailbox so hard that when it opened, he fell on his butt and said, "That was unexpected." LOL

MEzra: Mommy, what kind of water are you drinking?
Me: It's not water, it's a soft drink.
Ezra: What's a soft drink?
Me: It's another word for soda.
Ezra: What's a soda?
Me: It's a drink with caffeine in it, like coffee. I'm drinking it to help me feel less sleepy.
Ezra: What's less?
Me: It means not as sleepy.
Ezra: What's not as sleepy?
Me:....
Ezra: Why do you drink coffee?
Me: Because it helps me wake up. And I like it.
Ezra: Mommy, why is there a bell on your cup inside a bell?
