One of Charlie and my favorite movies is Ocean's 11... followed by the entire Ocean's 12 and 13 franchise. It has become of those movies for us that we quote constantly and can find a quote from it for almost any occasion.
There is a scene at the end where Brad Pitt and company are the make believe squad team. As they leave the casino, he says "Blue Team. Move it out." For some reason, Charlie has latched onto that phrase. For years, as we leave the house, he says "Blue Team. Move it out." Laci, of course thought it was based on the clothes we were wearing and would say "Dad, you can be the blue team. I'll be the pink team. Mom is the green team."
This has caught on even to Calvin. The other day, we were getting ready to go to the Purdue football game. It was a very trying morning and Calvin had gotten up at 5:30. Calvin and I were ready to go by 9:45. He picked up a princess back pack and filled it full of random things - books, a baseball glove, some cars and fruit snacks. As he was walking around the house wearing this back pack, he was saying "blue team. blue team. blue team. time to go!" It was pretty funny.
