Garren: I'm never wanting to die from young age. 

6:40 AM

(Garren bursts through our bedroom door.)

Garren: MOM, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!

(Proceeds to vigorously rub his head back and forth across his pillow pet that he has laid on our bed. Then abruptly stops and gives it a slap to watch the mini electricity show.)

Me: That's called static electricy. 

Garren: I'M GOING TO LIGHT THE WHOLE HOUSE UP!

Ryker: Garren is a wild man.

(Watching Garren through the patio door in our backyard chase the chickens.)

Thanksgiving (aka Turkey Day) is a week away. 

Ryker: Are we going to eat chicken on Chicken Day?

Garren: We're having Minecraft meetings today and tomorrow. 

Ryker: I want to take Japanese, Chinese and Earth. (Referring to what foreign language he wants to learn in high school.)

Ryker: I like to play with toy kitchens because real life kitchens are scary.

Ryker: Dagnificant!

(This seems to be his new favorite word to express. I'm not sure if he made it up or is mispronouncing a real word. Either way I love it.)
