we've had the funnest days lately! last week we went to the atlanta children's museum. its free once a month. we drove up with some friends and spent a few hours. the kids were not ready to leave. mostly they played in the moon sand tables and with the dress up stuff and stage!
the weather here is so beautiful, i love it. we get to play outside everyday and we are soooo happy we just had great neighbors move in next door. they put up a swingset and trampoline and they have the nicest 5 year old boy, everyday the girls knock on his door or he knocks on ours to come out and play!

last weekend we wen to 6 flags, opening weekend, we have season passes again this year so we were all excited to go back!!!

yeastarday we made homemade side walk chalk with cornstarch and water, and painted on the side walk.

today: cherry blossom!

quotes:
me, "kiki, how'd you get to be so pretty?"
kiki, "i learned from halle, i just did everything she did"

me, "a mansion is a big house"
halle, "i already knew that"
me, "you know everything , don't you?"
halle (totally serious), "no, not everything, i know half"
me, "so you only need to learn half more and you'll know everything?"
halle, "yes, then i'll know everything in the world"

me (trying to teach stranger danger), "don't go with people even if they look nice. strangers don't always look mean. even pretty people can be mean"
halle (seriously confused), "but mama, everyone's pretty, i don't know anyone that isn't pretty."
SHE IS SO STINKIN' SWEET....how did she get that way???

kiki, "mama, my friend told me if you go to jail, we can go stay at her house" (kiki has been dying to go to this friend's house, so i could tell she was kinda excited.)

me, "kiki, you want me to go to jail!?!"
kiki, "well, if you do something bad."
me, "KIKI, YOU WANT ME TO GO TO JAIL?!?!?"
KIKI, (realized what she was saying and felt horrible) "i still love you mommy"
then, every 10 min for the the next hour she had to tell me , 'i love you mommy'

tom taught the girls clue this weekend. they LOVED it. regular clue, just didn't use a dice, just go to a room every time its your turn. me and tom didn't think about it being about murder till halfway through when halle says, "so how do you kill someone with a rope?"
"uh......a rope around your neck will choke you.'
halle, "oh....(thinking)......or you could tie someone up and leave them in a street to get run over" (as she acts it out)

ok......so maybe not the best game to teach kids...hahaha....too late now, we are hooked!

kiki finally got over her fear of losing this week. she used to be such a sore loser that she wouldn't even play games for fear of losing. she finally snapped out of it, thank goodness and we had so much fun playing clue , monopoly and mario cart this past week. she doesn't even care when she loses anymore.

kiki, "rose, i like your shoes"
staring, silence, waiting, staring, silence, waiting.......
kiki, "rose, your supposed to say 'thank you'"

the girls love to take the "twins" everywhere! we bring their strollers to stores and feild trips, ect......

cute quotes:
we were getting ready to go somewhere after a long day, i said to tom, do i look alright or should i go change? kiki said with a shocked voice, "mama, you look BEAUTIFUL, you don't need to go change"
it was so sweet.

halle, "mama, whenever your driving, i get so nervous that your going to hit a mailbox"

someone at church asked halle if she was still doing cheer. she said no, but my dad taught me basketball the other day. he said, thats cool, your dad will be a good basketball teacher since he's a good player. halle said, "I don't need a teacher anymore, he already taught me, and now i know how to play."
the person laughed and told me what she said. i said, you can only imagine the challeneges we've had with homeschooling this year.... she already knows everything
