I was sitting at the computer right when they said these things so I was able to capture them.
Kate- "This is my worst day ever, connected to my other worst days!" (because she didn't get her way.)
Will- "Am I bleeding on my chin?" (then, to put it in simpler terms for my benefit, he followed that up with, "Is there anything red on my chin?")

Will's sense of empowerment
This morning we were taking Kate to VBS and on the way home, Will was talking about when he was sick when he was first born. To backtrack, he's just recently noticed his scars he has from his surgery, lung procedure, etc., so we've been talking a lot about that recently. So this morning we were talking about heaven and how Jesus will have the scars on His hands and feet from the cross, and Will said, "I'm so glad I have my scars from when I was so sick because since I was sick, that meant you didn't have to be sick, Mommy!" It was so cute that he thought he was protecting me from being sick by his being sick!
Again, I can't remember some funny recent things so I'll have to start keeping a notepad with me at all times.

Game
We went to our monthly Rays' game Sat. night and Hudson had the best time he's ever had. He hasn't really enjoyed the other games we've gone to, but for some reason, this time he was clapping and loving it! It was so cute. We'll have to take a picture next time we go of all of us. We didn't do it this time because Hudson's shirt was dirty, but normally we're all 5 decked out in Rays gear and looking like true fans.
Of course, Will said so many funny things in the car that I can't remember now. But one thing was that we were talking on the way home about what he and Kate wanted to be when they grow up. I suggested Will could be a missionary and he laughed and said, "Missionaries are girls!" Not sure where he got that idea but I was quick to correct it. There was something else funny that he said when we got home, but it's not fit to print!
I just went and asked the kids what Will had said funny recently and then Will unwittingly reminded me that he keeps saying, "That's hilarious, diva!" Don't know where he picked that up either and I'm sure he doesn't know what it means, but he keeps telling Kate she's a hilarious diva.

Quotes
I got this idea from Luke's aunt Kathy on her blog to have a quote of the week. The first was from Kate. "Mom, you're a disaster!!" To give some background, she was having a major overly dramatic moment and for the record, I did explain to her that she couldn't talk to me like that and it was disrespectful, etc.
From Will to Kate, "Was the Pharoah at your VBS a boy or a girl?" Background- they are going to 2 different VBSes this week because Will isn't old enough to go to the one at our church. But the 2 VBSes are doing the same curriculum, theme, so they've been comparing each other's experiences, and Will was adamant that his Pharoah was a girl with long blond hair. I need to let the pastor know at Will's VBS that children are so literal and maybe the Pharoah needs to wear a costume or wig of some sort to help the little ones get the message. At least it's nothing that would be a hindrance to the message of the gospel, just a new twist on an old (Testament) story!
No quotes from Hudson yet, just the cutest little baby we've seen in a long time (since Will was a baby, to be exact)! He is at such a cute age and has no problem hitting his big brother if Will gets in his grill (which means face, for those of you who aren't street!). He loves to dance and swim. He is fearless in the water, which is nice that he's not afraid, but hard for me trying to keep my eye on all 3 kids in the water when Hudson just jumps in whether I'm ready or not. He loves going under and flings himself off the step over and over. The 2 big ones are good at swimming now so I can keep my attention on Hudson. We have spent an average of 3 hours in the pool every day for the last week or so, which is fun and wears everyone out so it's a win-win!
Will said something hilarious in the pool the other day and I should've come right in and written it down because now I can't remember it. And I even said at the time that I had to put that in the blog and I forgot. A few months ago in the car (I may have put this in an earlier posting, I can't remember) Will said something funny and all of us were laughing so hard and Will said, "Don't put that in the blog!" before anybody even said that we should put that in the blog. He was anticipating his future embarrassment, I guess.

Tidbits
It's been a long time! I guess nothing funny has happened in a while. Hudson is really starting to talk more and says, "beep" all the time (emphasis on the "p" sound) meaning "beach". He loves the beach and wants to go all the time. He also says, "beeball" which means baseball. He seems to be following in Will's footsteps.
Kate was telling a story a few minutes ago and the first sentence made me laugh. She said, "Ages and ages ago, Kelley Larkin was a little girl..." I guess I'm pretty old in Kate's opinion.
Kate got out of school last week so we're enjoying summer and having no schedule in the mornings.
" kelley livd in alaabamu. she had 3 stichis. She had 3 baby's she had 0 broken bones." That was the rest of Kate's story that she typed all by herself. As you may be able to tell, she likes to focus on injuries. So this is her summing up my life in a nutshell!

Graduation
Kate graduated from Kindergarten last night and we are so proud of her! Luke will have to add the pictures later. Over all, she has had a good year, even if it's not the year we envisioned for her and we're really happy with her school and all that she's learned. I have to say that, as afraid as I've been of Kate's teacher this year, she was really nice to me last night at the graduation and said that she appreciated how modestly and age-appropriately I dress Kate and that if she had had a daughter, she would've dressed her just like Kate . I would have liked a compliment about Kate's character more than her appearance but I'll take it, considering the compliments of Kate are few and far between this year!
Will and Hudson started swimming lessons yesterday that go for 4 days in a row, then the long weekend off, then 4 more days in a row. Today was cancelled because of the weather but yesterday went well. Will had forgotten everything he learned last summer but hopefully it'll come back soon. Then he watched Huddy and me take the mommy and baby class. Hudson did great, has no fear, and liked the water, even going under. He wants me to just let him go and I'm tempted to do it since he's so stubborn and fights me the whole time. I was hoping to get the results back from some lab work he had done but we haven't heard anything today. He's had stomach problems and lost some weight over the last month and 1/2 and we'd like to know what's causing it and treat it.
Today when I picked Will up from mothers' morning out, the teacher said that he was very athletic, which was nice, but then she followed it up with, "but he ran into the wall in the gym because he was racing with the other kids and didn't want to slow down before hitting the wall because then he might lose the race." This sounds a lot like a story about Nona when she was a little girl so I guess I know where he got his competitive edge. It couldn't be from Papa too or any of Luke's side of the family, I'm sure!
