Yesterday after an all-day 4H Cloverbud dude ranch experience, Megan said, “Mom, I am now totally interested in horses.”

This morning, Timmy crawled in bed with us at 6 a.m. He slid in between us and pulled up the covers.
Tim: Mom? (I pretended I was asleep) Dad?
Eric: What, bud?
Tim: Was Jo— in the Old Testament? (The words were muffled.)
Eric: Was who?
Tim: Was Joseph in the Old Testament?
Eric: Well, there was a Joseph in the Old Testament and a Joseph in the New Testament.
Tim: Oh, I mean Joshua.
Eric: Yes, Joshua was in the Old Testament.
Tim: Okay, then that was a Christophany.
(Thanks #TimeLabVBS for the new vocabulary.)

Our neighbors invited us to swim in their pool today…
Kids: Mom? What time are we going swimming?
Me: Not until this afternoon.
(10 minutes after lunch)
Kids: Mom, it’s afternoon.
Me: Later in the afternoon, guys. It has to warm up a bit.
(15 minutes later)
Kids: What time later this afternoon?
Me: Like 3:00, guys. Stop asking.
(Some time later)
Kids: Mom, what time is it now?
Me: Guys, go find something to do.
Kids: I’m bored. Can I play a screen?
Me: No. Go play.
Kids: Is it time to go swimming yet?
