Hey Hey,

Great weekend.  It rained for 36 hours straight!  We got to go the Frontiers of Flight museum (Thanks Smithsonian Day!) on Saturday and on Sunday we went to the arboretum despite the rain.   enjoy.

Sneak Preview!

Fancy Glass and Rain!

Here's the Team,

The weather has be just beautiful for the past week or so!  Rain and relatively cool temperatures, occasionally down less than hot!  We finally got around to see the Chiluly glass at the arboretum last week.  The camera died, but the girls got to go the next day with Papa and Neners.  I can't recommend it enough! That junk is mind blowing awesome style.  It's also supposed to be really nice at night when it is lit.  In the middle are some pictures of the girls playing in puddles with neighbor Baby Kate and Baby Andrew, although neither are really babies anymore.  Jill Johnson, if you are reading this: yes, those are the raincoats you gave them for their first birthday.  I hope it makes you happy that they have been passed on to our neighbors for fun rainy day play!  

Hugs not drugs people!

Sister, Sister!

Museum Day

Say Hey Friends,

    Labor Day Weekend and we made it to 2 museums, the Nasher and the FW Science Museum.  first a rant about FWS.  We had free tickets for the girls from summer reading, so I took them.  It cost $5 to park and $16 for an adult ticket!  The girls saw a stuffed polar bear and started crying minute 1.  If I had known it was going to be that much, I would have agreed to take them home!  (in their defense it is remodeled and totally awesome).  The Nasher, however was super great and had this roped together tunnel will with balls from a children's ball pit.  Everyone loved it. 

     If this 7 day heat wave lifts we'll go to the zoo on Saturday.

Safe?

I told them lungs help you breath.

We usually breath like this.

I really like this one. 

First Day of School

The ladies had their first day of school today(me too, if you were wondering).  They had a great day apparently and learned lots  of cool stuff.  Notably, they learned about the letter M, the number 1 and how to correctly use the word "stupid".   Tilly is now proficient in its use.   As a teacher I often see first hand the power of peer tutoring. enjoy.  

Sirus, still alive!

This little guy was hanging out on our door step, he must have known that this was a mantis friendly household.

Goat Farm

Here are pictures from the last day in Colorado plus the Jump'in Good Goat Farm.  The girls loved the goats.  Obviously, who doesn't love baby goats?
