Heard around our house...

"I FOUND GOLD IN MY EAR!  But it did not taste good." --Cole

"I hope Russia doesn't try to take over Wisconsin next." --Benson

COLE: Mom, steel is a very strong metal.
ME: Wow!  Who told you that?
COLE: Grover.

"For our next family vacation, we should either go to Michigan, Texas, Florida, or Myanmar." --Benson

"That's not going to buff out." --Cole, upon discovering that Christian had a messy blowout all over his infant chair

"That cloud looks just like Europe!  (But it's missing Finland, Sweden, and Norway.)" --Benson

"Hi Dad, tell me everything you know about the country Chad." -- Benson, first thing in the morning as soon as John opened his eyes. 

[With tears in his eyes and a shaky voice] "But I don't want to see the lion that comes at the beginning of March!  I don't want the lion to come to Wisconsin at all!  I only want to see the lamb!" --Cole

"It's spring!  It's spring!" --Both boys, on the first day above 32 degrees

BENSON: I don't want to move to Virginia anymore.  I just checked, and it's only the 35th biggest state.  We're moving from the 23rd biggest state down to the 35th.

COLE: Yeah, let's move to Russia instead.  It's the 1st biggest country.

BENSON: Two problems Cole.  We don't speak Russia, and it's very far from the equator which makes it so cold.

"I love you, Ninja Turtles.  I will be so gentle and nice to you." --Cole acting as Shredder (please nobody teach him the correct way to play with these toys!)

BENSON: We should make a sign for our front door that says 'No Bad Guys Allowed.'
COLE: Yeah. And no sharks either.
