Growing up...

The triplets have a new rule that they can't say certain "naughty words," and if they're caught saying one, the offender owes a quarter to whomever caught them in the act.

A slice of conversation from yesterday's drive:

Colin: Abby! You owe me a quarter!
Abby: Colin! STOP telling me to give you quarters! Just STOP IT!
Colin: But I heard you... you said...
Abby: You are DEAF! For CRYING OUT LOUD!

I laughed for 20 minutes.

Abby-ism of the Week

(Abby's uncle Spencer was bugging her.)

Abby: You're the second-most evil person in the world!
Spencer: Really? Who's the first?
Abby (disgusted): Satan.

Ah, youth. :)

"I'm ONE today!"

Gotta start 'em somewhere...

Happy Birthday!

Abby, Ben and Colin are eight years old today! The boys got the video games they wanted, and Miss Abby got her ears pierced. Man, they grow up fast.

Way to go, kiddos. You always make daddy proud.

"... looks like a pink nightmare..."

We have a six-month-old!

Happy Un-birthday, Peach!

Colin knows his Superman...

Dad: Lex Luthor is getting away in his spaceship.

Colin: Superman will chase him.

Dad: Ya think so?

Colin: Because he can fly! HellOOO?!

I've created a monster... :)
