This and That

Recent Quotes from my Babes:

Maddy:  Mama, are we at war?

Me:  Yes Baby.  We went to war just over a month before Garrett was born, so we've been at war his whole life, and then some.

Maddy, quietly:  Why does war just go on and on and on and on?

-------

While watching the State of the Union the other night:
 

Garrett:  Oh man!  Barack Obama?  I thought we were watching Clone Wars!

------

Also from Garrett,

Me, snuggling with him on the couch:  Mmm, I sure love you.

Garrett, in a sweet, lovey voice:  Yo tengo una araña.

In case you don't know, that translates to, "I have a spider."  Good to know the Spanish is paying off!  (Actually he does speak in Spanis a lot around the house, appropriately, and it's pretty awesome.  He knew he was being a smart ace here.)

And from the littlest monkey,
Me: are you excited for your new friends to come over?
C:  Well, I AM a little bit nervous but I AM excited.

I didn't know he could verbalize 'nervous' yet.  Although, when the new friends left here is our conversation.

Me:  Did you have fun with your new friends today?

Carter:  Oh Mom.  They aren't new friends.  I realized that we were friends all the time.  Like when I was born, we were friends.

Although when the 'new friends' were coming and going, Carter was a complete goofball, and you'd never know he thought they were kindred spirits.  I watched them play outside together for a while though and they were looking pretty darling.
