Dallin is going through a phase where he replaces the word "yesterday" with "last year". 
Mom: Did you draw on my wall with marker?
Dallin: Oh that was just last year. 

Levi repeats the last word or 2 you say back to you in the form of a question. For example-
Mike: Levi, don't throw toys!
Levi: Throw toys?

Weston: dad, do that thing you were doing. 
Mike: Do that thing I was doing???
Mike, not knowing what on earth he is talking about, starts dancing all crazy. So I join in and start dancing. Then weston starts dancing and singing, "do that thing you were doing".

Mom, what does "for pete's sake" mean?
Me: I means I've asked you to put your shoes on 4 times and here you are sitting on the floor playing with trains!
When we play rock-paper-scissors, I put my hands on Weston's head and pretend to read his mind so I know how to beat him. Then Dallin wanted me to read his mind so I put my fingers on his head and said "You want to eat cookies!" Then Levi came running over and put my hands on his head and said "cookies!".  I said, "Levi thinks Elsa is pretty" and Levi responded, "LET IT GO! LET IT GO!"

Dallin keeps asking questions from mid-conversation in his mind. Out of nowhere he says "what's that guys' name again?" Or "who's the guy next to that?"

Dallin: Mom, I put Wolverine in your bed because he is your favorite.

Overheard-
Weston: sometimes I daydream that there is an elevator in my closet that goes down to the earth's core. I have a secret lab there for making inventions no one else has thought of. 
The 2 year old got down from the table, tossed his plate in the sink, and announced "all done"! 

Just when you thought you were in charge of this household. :/

"Put that down! French toast is not finger food!"

"Don't shake the ketchup bottle after the lid is off"

"Get your hand out of your water cup!"

All in one meal!
Dallin did something wrong and mike sent him to his room. Levi was not happy about it. He climbed into Mike's lap, scowled at him, and said "D!" (His word for Dallin) 
I told dallin he could not go outside and play in the street. As my punishment for making him mad, he locked me out of my bedroom. 
By the time I discovered it, he cheerfully told me that he was "not mad at me anymore" and I could just "pop the door open or sleep on the couch"! 
Mike had to come home and dismantle  the door knob. 
I can hear my heart beep.

Dallin: Will you play trains with me? Here, you be the helicopter. 
Me: *makes helicopter noise*
Dallin: (looks disappointed) No mom, like this: tick tick tick tick
Me: chika chika chika chicka 
Dallin: chick chick chick chick
Me: ticka ticka ticka ticka 
Dallin:  toka toka toka toka

I don't think we ever agreed in what sound helicopters make.
