Evy - Happy!
Brad - That's how you are feeling. How old are you?
Evy - Happy!
Nate - She's 2.
Brad - How old are you Nate?

Nate - You are 3.

Evy and Nate have decided that things are not goofy. They're Donald. As in Donald Duck. It's not uncommon to hear them say, "Oh Donald!" One day I told Evy her straw was being goofy. She told me, "It's not a goofy straw. It's a Donald straw!"
-
Evy was helping me clean up and spontaneously started singing, "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. . ."
-
Evy - Butter!
Brad - You want butter on your corn on the cob?
Evy - No, on the side.
She must be a Packer.
-
I was loading the kids into the car and Evy matter of factly tells me, "The car is haunted." How does she even know the word haunted?
-
Aye aye Captain Silly! - Evy
-
Evy stands on her chair at dinner and says, "Listen up guys. I love Mom!"

Nate - That's silly. She's your sister!
Brad - No, she's my wife.
Nate - (Pointing to Evy) She's my wife.

Nate - Married?!?!?!?!?!?!

Alisha - Do you guys want to go to Walmart and buy Nate's school supplies?
Evy - I do! And presents!
Alisha - Oh, what do you want to get me for my birthday?
Evy - A cake, candles, and fire!
Oh, dear! Knowing her she just might deliver.

Nate's therapist - Nate, what was one good thing this week?
Nate - We made messes.
Nate's therapist - Was it fun?
Nate - (With a little mischievous grin) Yes.

Nate was having a hard time and was crying. Evy went over to Nate and started to rub his back. "Now take a deep breath and count to three."
-
Alisha - Nate would you like some toast for breakfast?
Nate - No! I want broccoli!
-
I'd unloaded the groceries into the house when I got a phone call. I'd run upstairs to my computer. When I finished my call, I hear Evy say, "I love chocolate chips." I peek into Nate's room. They had opened two packages of chocolate chips and dumped them on the floor. They were certainly enjoying their sneaky treat, but boy, did they try to hide it when they saw me!
-
Evy thinks question marks are called mysteries.
-
Evy was throwing a tantrum and I was trying to figure out why she is mad. Evy defiantly shouted at me, "I don't have any problems!"
-
My sister, Malinda, was singing the name game to the kids. The kids think it's a riot. Laughing their heads off. Nate keeps asking to do different people. "Do Grandma! Do Mommy! Do Evy!" Then he points to my sister, Adrianne, and says, "Let's do this guy!"
