Me to Viv: It's hard to take you seriously when you're naked with a chair on your head.

Nikki: I can't think of anymore weird animal facts off the top of my head.
Viv: Then use the bottom of your head.

Viv: I want to tell you a story that I read with my own mind.

Avery: You can't do a bicycle kick wearing wedding shoes.

Avery: I would eat my least favorite vegetable over blueberries.

Avery: I sacrificed cake for soccer.

Scott: Do we have to go to your gala?
Avery: Daddy, I didn't stand on my feet for 10,000 minutes practicing singing to not show up at my gala.

Viv (while reading): Does it make the hard H sound? (Avery thought this was particularly hilarious)

Avery: He was playing some Beethoven and got carried away (about Hukum, the piano teacher)

Viv: Don't you like the vagina, Daddy?

Viv: Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid.

Viv: Mommy, are you a spectarian?
Avery: You mean pescatarian.

Avery: Mexican Lucky (Daft Punk's Get Lucky)

Avery to Viv: Just like you're an attraction to dogs, I'm an attraction to babies. They always just crawl to me.

From Nikki: Viv asked me if bread was good for you. I said in moderation it's ok. She said, but there's no moderation in bread.

From Nikki: She wants to know why it's called a bathing suit and not a water suit.

When Viv had to carry the cooler with a strap: I want to wear it as a cross body.

Scott: You know you've been going to your barber for a long time when she asks if that is a new shirt.

36 year old at yoga: I prefer my bananas a little green.

Avery: Grown-up books are boring. They're only about people's lives. Kids' books are about adventure.

Viv: you can eat the wrapper of a cucumber.

Text From Nikki: OMG!! Avery just told me the funniest thing. He was taking a shower and said I wish I could trade my ball (yes, testicle) in for another life when I die. But girls would be lucky if they could trade in the millions of babies in their tummy. Because that's a lot. Actually, I want each ball to be worth a million lives. But you would keep your knowledge in your head through each life so you would already know all the answers in school.

Crate and Barrel. Leaving 5 minutes late makes a huge difference. What happens whey you say, "You can sleep anywhere." Date night.

Obligatory last day of school pic. Sno cone extravaganza. New tape measure! Sunning herself.

Appropriate climbing wear at REI.

Union Station Fountains

Union Station fountains. I see London. Grandma selfie. Perfectly Avery.

Swim/movie night. Making the most of some technical difficulties. Snuggling. Viv eats popcorn very meticulously.

Little ballerina. Posing. Avery getting Viv to smile. The stars of the show.

Getting my hair did. It's a good thing I have a high pain threshold.

Lazer tag with Noah and Morgan. Vanity. Getting a kick out of herself. (All photos courtesy of Nikki).

Snuggling. She has a bed, I swear. Sleeping feet. Gangsta princess.

Tomato plant. Working from home. My response to Sarah when she sent me a pic of us in Vegas (I was in a meeting). What happens when you say yes to a 200 count popsicle stick box.

Crepes. Snacking in between swimming. Someone is too BIG for the car cart. She was so proud.

Last day at Teller.

Hard decision: crafts or pool? Aggressive seasoning. Last check-up for the broken arm. Waiting for Nikki.
