Cake

Me: Should we make something yummy tonight after dinner?
Jackson: yes!
M: what should we make?
J: cake!
M: what kind of cake?
J: yummy.

A slow morning

Emma was asked to clean up the play area about five minutes prior to this exchange...

Mama: Emma keep going, there's still lots to clean up.

Emma: Ha you can't tell me to 'keep' going when I haven't started yet!

Maybe mamas not so brave...

Emma: Mom, if daddy is gone and a monster comes into our house then you can just hide and me and Jackson can handle it.

In reference to the size of the nutter butter I handed her...

Whoa! That's a beast!

Cheerleader

At the BCS homecoming soccer game the crowd was chanting B-C-S... Once the student section faded out, we hear Emma shouting U-S-A...U-S-A!

Our little patriot!

Tadpole in training

Jackson was just hopping around like a frog chasing a fly shouting, "Ribbit!!"

I want to stay up and play all night. Oh, wait. Then I would be nocturnal. Hmm... Yeah, maybe I shouldn't because I would be too loud in my family's house during the night.

Watch out

I had just taken out a fly with our flyswatter.

Emma: That's what happens when you mess with mama!

Daddy: Jackson you can't wear that headband. You're a boy.

Jackson: No. Baby.

Jackson said no when I had asked him to do something.

Mama: careful, buddy. You don't say no to mama.

Jackson: aw, man!

Clarification

I told them they could have a cookie if they ate their whole plate. They took it literally.
