A few more

Younger daughter: "Mommy, you need to buy me a new leotard before I start gymnastics again."
Me: Nodding.
Daughter: "Why don't they let you wear necklaces at gymnastics?"
Me: "Because they can get tangled up when you are doing somersaults and flips and things. "
Daughter: "Do they let you have chapped lips at gymnastics?"
Me: "Yes, they do."
Daughter: "Because those don't get tangled up, right?"
Me: "No."
Older daughter made a cute drawing of a ghost to hang on our window and drew a large speech bubble coming from it's mouth, saying, "BOOB!" :)
Little man is a great talker, but there is one phrase that he says that always cracks me up. He uses it when he wants me to scoot in or out a chair, or to turn the music up in the car.
"Mommy, scool up a lip!"

Smiles

Me: "Ouch! "Little Man"! Quit stepping on my foot!"
Oldest daughter: (in a very firm voice) "Remember Mom, don't react!"
I have been trying to teach the girls not to make a big deal out of when their little brother tries to hurt them (he is going through a hitting/pulling hair phase and wants them to overreact). I guess I should remember my own teachings better, too. :)
Younger daughter: "I am going to make my doll's hair look so gracious."
Oldest daugher: "If I get a pet dog someday and it is a white Poodle, I will name it Snowflake, and if it is a black Poodle, I will name it Cooking Pan."
