Brett (after melodramatically flopping down onto the couch): “It’s SO HOT outside.”
Hewitt: “Yes, but at least we’re not in Florida.”

Jade: “The kitties are so cute!”
Fletcher: “You just think they’re cute because you spend so much time with them.”
Indigo: “No, she thinks they’re cute because they’re CUTE.”
Fletcher (laughing): “I know, I was just teasing you.”

Hewitt: “And then Fletcher took his sword and he chopped down a tree–”
Fletcher: “What are you talking about? I’ve never chopped down a tree.”
Hewitt: “No, no, I’m telling the girls a story.”
Fletcher: “Well, chopping down a tree with a sword wouldn’t be good anyway. It would dull the blade of the sword too much.”

Greyden: “Second breakfast is the BEST!!!”

Indigo: “Where is Louisville?”
Jade: “Indiana, right?”
Indigo: “No Jade, its in Kentucky. Louisville, Kentucky? You have to cross a river to get there. When you cross a river that big (the Ohio river), it kinda means you’re in a different state.”

Emery: “I love the way the chickens look when they’re wet – they’re like half their size.”

Colter: “I’ll be an adult legally in less than a year – I kinda count as an adult now.”

Jade: “I think I’ve got a cold… I keep doing the coughing and sneezing thing.”

Fletcher: “Whyyyyyyy do our friends always mess up my lego setup?”
Greyden: “Because our friends are all two years old.”

Brett: “How did the baby of the family turn eight already? Wasn’t she just born??”

Colter: “You should have joined me working out at 5am.”
Brett: “Forgive us for not being super-human.”
Colter: “I’m not super-human. I’m diligent.”

Jim: “Emery goes fast.”
Brett: “On his bike?”
Greyden: “Yeah, well, he has an actual bike. It’s easy to go fast.”

Hewitt: “Why is everyone drinking Gatorade?”
PJ: “I worked too long in the garden and got dehydrated. So I took it out because I needed the electrolytes. ”
Hewitt (who can’t drink Gatorade because he is allergic to the dye in it): “It’s torturing me.”

Brett: “If Kingsman wasn’t rated R, the children would love it.”
Indigo: “What is Kingsman?”
Fletcher: “It’s a movie about gentlemen who are super spies and have the names of King Arthur’s knights – like Sir Lancelot and Sir Gilbert.”
Brett: “Gilbert? Like Gilbert Blythe?”
Fletcher: “Yeah, Sir Gilbert.”
Brett: “You mean Galahad.”
Fletcher: “No, Gilbert.”
Brett: “Gilbert is the hero in Anne of Green Gables. Galahad is the knight.”
Fletcher: “Are you sure?”
Brett, Colter, Emery, and PJ (in unison): “Yep.”

Jim: “Good night, Jade.”
Jade: “oh, I’m not going to bed yet. I’m just winding down. See, I have a routine, so now I’m just winding down.”
