Sisters and Trucks

I seriously think that we live in the cutest neighborhood. The other day my two girls each had two friends over, and those four girls each happened to be two sets of sisters. They were having a great time outside riding bikes and playing pretend while I mowed the lawn. After a while all these big trucks kept going up and down our street, after about the tenth one I showed the girls how to ask the driver to honk with a hand signal (honestly it is the ONLY hand signal I am familiar with) and a new hobby was born. The girls spent about 30 minutes standing on the sidewalk "talking" to the truckers and waiting in the shade for the next truck to come along. While they waited they put their arms around their sisters. It was really cute!!

Ava's first pony tail

Every day Grace wants her hair in a high pony tail and Ava always asks but she just doesn't have enough hair. Today for the first time (with the miracle of spray gel) Ava got her first high pony. I know that this hair style is kind of out of date, but I went to high school in the 90's and you weren't cool unless you had a high pony and it was curly. Besides tell me that profile isn't stinking cute.

Grace's field trip

Today was Grace's field trip to This Is The Place Park. I was totally surprised at how cute and fun it was. If you are ever looking for something different to do I highly recommend it. Grace had a blast with all of her friends. We rode the train, pet the animals (even though the lambs totally creep me out-why are their eyes on the sides of their head?) We went with Grace's preschool and I think that Grace has two of the cutest preschool teachers out there. She always come from preschool so happy.

Where did she learn that?

Last night Brett was showing the girls pictures of animals on the computer (their new favorite night time ritual) and when he showed them a picture of a dolphin Grace said "Oh my hell". Brett looked right at me and said, "Where did she learn that, it certainly was not from her father". To which I responded, "Certainly not from her mother". I guess I need to pay a little better attention to what I say.

Freedom

Today is a big day for me. I am posting this blog on my computer from my house. We finally got the internet. I no longer have to go to Katie's to check my e-mail or make Kristy buy me tickets on line or wrestle with my dad for internet time at my parents. I am FREEEEEE!!!!!!! Welcome to the twentyfirst century Lisa!!!!
