the princess and the frog
kiki fell in love with this frog that we caught in the backyard. she carried it around all evening, hugging it and snuggling it up to her face. then she put it in her shirt and carried it around like in the picture. it looked like a baby in a baby carrier. we actually had friends over for dinner who were totally grossed out. i had to tell her quite a few times not to kiss it, which was so hard for kiki (she has finally stoped licking things, but now LOVEs to kiss on things she loves, mostly me, but this day, would have been the frog) after a few hours it finally got a way from her. she cried....we've found 3 frogs and a turtle this year! kiki has been in heaven!
model shot
this is one of halle's classic poses when i get out the camera. its so america's next top model so it always makes me laugh. we were getting ready to go to the pool, halle put on her heels. i don't even own heels, halle's personality is not from me....its all her own. she told me that she wants a shiny blue convertable when she grows up (to match her shiny blue purse). i said ok. then she paused for a minute and had a thinking/serious look on her face, i knew something funny was coming....."mom, when i grow up, will you give me a ride to the car store to buy my convertable, because i won't have a car yet, so i won't have a way to get there"....sure i said. kiki jumps in, "i want a convertable too!" ....then halle asks if i will give kiki a ride too.....sure....
i asked halle her favorite kind of dog...."a shi- poo"....."a what?"....."a shi-poo, mom, a shitzoo and a poodle"......(too many trips to the pet store, haha) .....defenitly a dog that fits halle's personality though!
in this picture kiki has red make up all over her face.....time to go to the pool!, i said, when i saw what she had done....(i rarely remember to bathe the girls these days, haha)
kiki asked for grapes in the car yestarday. she forgot to say please so i said, "kiki, can you ask me for grapes in a nicer way?"
kiki says, "Beautiful Mama, can i have some grapes please?"
i got way nicer then i asked for!
i said, "halle whats my talent?" (curious what she would come up with)
halle, "your really good at finding stuff"
at first i laughed, but then it totally made my day that she actually noticed that i find everything for everyone here....a lost glove, the diamond underware, the polly pocket with purple hair.....sometimes i even surprise myself when i know where their random things are!
a few times a week halle will randomly go up to tom and say, "if i lay on the couch will you come tickle me?" of course he always says yes, no matter what he's doing, and its sooo cute!

summer time
this was halle's tap costume. the song was woody's roundup....it was soooo cute!
summer time is so fun! two weeks ago my sisters where here to kick off summer with us. we went to the pool every morning, came home for naptime (us girls just pigged out on yummy food) and then went back out to the pool in the afternoon. we had the most relaxing, fun time ever!!!
last week, the girls and me and tom, as often as he can, have been living at our pool! we can do the water slide for hours at at time, and then swim, jump in, play mermaids....it has been soooo fun!!! we have been going in the morning, i pack a lunch, and then we nap, and go back out.....with at least 6 hours of swimming a day, halle has gotten to be a really great swimmer! she can swim really long distances, come up for a breath and keep on going, she is fast, can swim down and get things off the floor of the deep end, and float really well. the whole time we are out there she never stops swimming or even goes in the baby area to rest....sometimes her naps last up to 3 hours!
friday kiki asked me to take her wings off, i told her she would drown, kiki, "the life guard will save me".....
so i did, at first she dog paddled, all morning. when we went back out in the evening, she said she wanted to swim like halle, jumped off the stairs and swam under water to me, a few feet! on saturday , all she wanted to do was practice. i had to watch her so carefully, because she thinks she can swim now.....she is doing so well and is soooo proud of herself!
halle, "how did we have enough money to buy a whole house?"
me, "we didn't, daddy works hard everyday and at the end of the month we pay some of the money towards the house"
halle, "i bet daddy is sad that he can't be home to play with us all day"
me, "kiki, your my best freind"
kiki, "halle's my best friend" (ouch!)
