Currently Sidge is telling me that he wants to have a superhero birthday party. But he wants to wear a chef's costume and have cupcakes with gingerbread men on them."

So sweet.
Sidge's eye comment reminds me of how my son, Kasen, says "I get a kick out of that." He says, "I'm really kicking that." It took me awhile to figure out what he was meaning when he said it. Cracks me up every time.
Do you think I'd like "Words w/ Friends"? Kelvin thought I should get it for my ipad but I haven't ever played it. I LOVE Sudoko and bejeweled, though :0
Mr. Meal says he's been trying to figure out how to be Batman all his life...
So maybe Isaac can give him some pointers. ;)
-P
Tara, if you like scrabble ... you'd love it. Although your uber competitiveness could be extreme!! :) You'll like it. But it's another time waster.
I LOVE the one -"I just want to fly all by myself!" ME TOO!!! xo Tante Jan
Joshua has a good sound bite on the topic of heaven: "There are no chargers in heaven because your iPod never dies." - He said this one day while we were driving somewhere. It was just kind of out of the blue and awesome.
Just yesterday he said he wants to be an Astronaut so he can go to the moon.
I love those " I want to be when I grow up... " conversations. They're so exciting. It makes me think about how Jesus said we need to be like children. They dream big and it's cool.
"Put it in your pipe and smoke it."
BWHAHHAA! Love this. So something N would say. And would get in trouble for. ;-)
