Quote Monday has no chance of survival

Sara: “How can you not love a baby in a loin cloth?” – For the record, not our baby

Sara: “I’m kind of glad Oliver pooped in the bath.” – No explanation needed on that one, I think

Quote Monday reveals the dark side of Sara

Shane: “…there’s probably a lot of people out there talking about what a piece of $#it I am.”

Sara: “I have the strongest desire to flip people off when they run that stop sign. Sometimes I just yell, ‘Stop sign!'”

Sara: “All of your tank tops are in the laundry.”
Evie, sobbing: “I want my babies to have food!”

Sara has basically worn nursing tank tops since Evie was born, and Evie has taken to wearing tank tops under all her clothes.

Holy grammar police!
