Jack hugged me and sniffed me hard.

ME: Do I stink?

JACK: Nah, you smell like shirt.

I was laying with Casey, trying to help him fall asleep, when Dan started to make a sandwich in the kitchen. When Case heard the clatter of plates he sat straight up in bed.

CASEY: Wait, is it Christmas tomorrow?!?!

ME: *so confused* No… it’s June.

CASEY: Oh… I thought I heard Santa.

ANDIE: *pointing to the Roomba* I scared dat robop. He tickle my feet.

---

JACK: Mom, watch this YouTube short.

ME: ‘kay. *only half watching*

JACK: No, you gotta tell your vision to watch it.

---

Casey started watching an ASMR video on the TV.

CASEY: She must know Andie’s napping and that’s why she’s being quiet.

---

ANDIE: *pointing to Dan’s beard* Daddy your face is all dirty!

---

If I don’t respond to the first “Mom” Casey will shout “VALERIE MANWILL” from across the playground.

---

After I called Dan out for passing gas.

DAN: (annoyed) Mom keeps a record of everyone’s farts.

JACK: Well, Dad definitely has the 2024 world record for farts.

---

Andie’s catchphrase for when things are crazy is “Oh GOSH a HECK!”

---

Casey spelling out a swear word on the wall with bath blocks.

ME: Dude, don’t write that.

Casey quickly tears it down and yells at the sky:

CASEY: I’m sorry, Jesus! I love you!

Andie reading a book on animals. First page is a water buffalo.

ANDIE: This is a Water Bubbabo.

Flips the page to see a Cheetah.

ANDIE: A cheeto! I love cheetos!
