things sivyers say...

well, mostly titus, in this case.  he happens to be in this sweet spot where everything he says is amazing.  four is such an interesting age.  also, please enjoy these random pictures from a trip to tallahassee (and one small camping trip as well) between laughs!

watching a male and female cardinal on our bird feeder, "mom, i think i just saw them kiss!" -ezra

"yeah, i guess jonah did earn it... by being the cutest kid ever!" -gabe

"daniel tiger is a cute show, but they just don't get the facts right.  like, tigers really don't wear slippers" -gabe, concerned about the inaccuracies of jonah's favorite cartoon

titus: "mom, how old are you?"
me: "thirty."
titus: "you mean thirty-and-a-half?"

"i wanna go to the donut place because it's the only place where the donuts live." -titus, explaining his reasoning behind having every date at dunkin

"mom, if bimini dies, then we will have to get two new dogs and we will name the black one boomini and the brown one diemordy." -titus, because of course we would want the new dogs to be a constant reminder of how the first two definitely died

"i can see her beak!" -titus, talking about our dog, bimini.  honestly not sure what he was looking at!

"mom, did you realize that God is as big as an alpha" -titus (leave it to the sivyers to have our theology and our love of 'how to train your dragon' intertwined.)

"we know what to do with flies.  first we catch them; then we punch them in the face!" -titus, on a particularly bad fly day

"rain, stop pooping on me!" -titus

at the park, ezra fell and scraped his knee.  looking for sympathy, he called titus over and showed him the scrape.  titus, uncharacteristically compassionate, responded with, "ezra, i am so sorry that happened".  then, jumping up with a very determined look on his face he added, "mom i'll go find his skin!" before running away full speed.

"why did the fox cross the road? because he got runned over by a bike and we saw the blood and he died, the end." -titus

"i just don't wanna die! or break my skull!" -titus, freaking out because i was pulling out of the driveway before he had fastened his final buckle.

me: "titus, why don't you like windshield wipers?"
titus: "because it's stupid and reckless!"
