Griffin: "We were trying to get a spider out of the milkbox but couldn't get it. So to slow it down, we cut off its legs."
Pam and I of course responded in horror to this (I had to stifle a laugh), to which Griffin justified that they didn't cut off all of its legs... just two of them.

Rowan: "If you lose all your blood, you'll be flat... flat like paper."
Rowan also told me what is the first "A duck walks into a bar" joke that I've heard from my own kids. It goes like this...
A duck walks into a bar and asks for grapes.
"This is a bar. We don't have grapes," says the owner.
The duck goes back to the bar the next day and asks for grapes, and gets the same response. This goes on until eventually the owner tells the duck that if he comes in and asks for grapes one more time he'll nail the duck's hands and feet to the floor (I skirted mentioning the duck's significant lack of hands or feet).
So the duck walks into the bar and asks if they have nails.
"No," says the owner.
"Then do you have grapes?" asks the duck. :)

Tonight at her softball game, Berit was a star! She did a fantastic job pitching - struck a couple girls out, and she got two or three outs as the first baseman (basegirl) too. I took her out to dinner at Wahoo's afterwards and got her a new mitt (which she needed anyway) and some cleats (she needed those too).
At the game, Griffin and I played a little catch on the sidelines. He's just starting to warm up to the idea of catch. I haven't convinced Rowan yet, though she'll probably give in once she sees both her brother and sister playing. She used to be pretty strong with a football when she was about four or five years old.
