crazy quotes

a long weekend in michigan full of family and fun and racing and sun (more on all of this later) was a perfect time. the kids are becoming road trip perfectos and we are becoming a less stressed out version of our normal selves.

but the thing I want to remember first and most from the weekend is this: those kids are amazing. they are so smart and funny and surprising. 

a few quotes: 

ramona, to david, as he prepares to turn on the television "you know how to work this bad boy?"

james insisted on multiple occasions that he was doctor zaytoo, doctor backa, and doctor ka ka.

james, about to be hugged by his nana, who is recently returned from a long winter in the florida sun, "these your dark arms?"

and ramona, shouted with enthusiasm to me, at home tonight when I played the piano and she danced and the piece was reaching an uptempo ending, "HIT IT, mommy!"
