I was cleaning the bathroom while the boys were taking a bath. I put Comet in the toilet bowl and saw Camden get a little twinkle in his eye. Little did I know it was an evil twinkle. I stepped out of the bathroom and, like all kids, the boys assumed I couldn't hear them if they couldn't see me. I heard Camden whisper to Kellan, "Hey! Squirt water into the toilet with your toy!". I came flying into the bathroom and saw Kellan doing as his trusty older brother had instructed. I yelled "Camden!" and he looked at me with his ridiculously long eyelashes and asked, "What did I do?" I told him I heard what he told his brother. He tried to get out of it by explaining that Kellan should be in trouble because he was the one squirting the water. As I went into a highly prepared Mom speech that was going to be great in this situation, Camden just shrugged and said, "Well, Little Brother will do as the Master says"...


Kellan as we were getting in the car today - "Mom? You're the best Mom in the whole town!" As I went to reply that he was my favorite child, he followed up with, "Now can I watch your phone?"...


Kellan was just being his happy go lucky self the other day and I said, "You just love life, don't you, Kellan?" He replied, "I love trees!"...


An Oasis song came on in the car and I was talking to the boys about how the brothers in that band reminded me of my brothers. Kellan proceeded to tell us a long story about how he met the band Oasis at school...


We always talk about God and how great Heaven is. Kellan piped up with, "I bet they have the game Traffic Rush 2 in Heaven!"


I was driving Kellan up to Grammy's, and we smelled something in the car.
Kellan: Sniff, Sniff! What's that smell?
Me: They're repaving the road
Kellan: Smells like chicken
(pause)
Kellan: Maybe they put a chicken on the road


Camden was in the middle of a highly intricate story. He kept saying it was yesterday, but not yesterday. He couldn't quite come up with the word for when this event actually happened and was getting a little frustrated, so he said, "Not yesterday, but 'Once' day"


I must have told Kellan to put his shoes on literally 87 times. I finally threw my hands in the air exasperatedly and said, "Kellan! Please put your shoes on!". He came close to me, smiled sweetly, grabbed my hand and said, "Oopsies, Sweetie Pie!"...
