Reason #10: They say the darndest things

What's not to love about funny kids? We find Michael and Liliana to be especially hilarious. We are probably biased. I am sure every parent out there thinks their kid says the funniest things. But, believe me, our kids say the funniest funny things. Here's proof. We have a list of the funny things they say and the funny ways they say not-so-funny things. I am sure there are more than we have listed below. We may have to go back and add to the list at a later date. It's always hard to think of their funny quotes on the spot. :)

We are so blessed to have funny kids. And we feel especially blessed that our funny kids love to sing. Because we love to sing too!
