So much to write about. So little time . . . 

I need to write about our trip to Disneyland, and Summer's two week break from school right now. And I should post a video clip of Basil rolling all over the floor or Pyper and her language skills. I should probably post some pictures that Claire has drawn or talk about Summer starting piano lessons and loving it. But for now, I'll just post some blurry pictures from my phone and a little about each girl. 

Summer

Favorite Disneyland ride: "It's hard to choose. Guess why. . . all the rides were my favorite."

Quotes: 

"Next time we go on Splash Mountain, we need to bring our swim suit."

After having to wipe the table off: "I know how to work now. I really do."

"My fingers are a little tired from playing the piano so much. I think they will feel better after we win something on Mario Kart Wii."

"I got hit by my hula hoop today."

"You did? How did that happen?"

"I was hula hooping in the gym and I hula hooped into myself."
