eric carle musuem

we just got back from a trip to the eric carle museum. we had a blast! i highly recommend it (even lily and evan loved it). we loved everything from the art project, to the bookstore (i could have spent hours in there), to the tiles and small toilet in the bathroom (that lily thought was made just for her). there was a guest illustrator today who had illustrated books about horses. we had previously read a few of her books and we bought a signed copy for gracie's birthday. may will bring a new exhibit of leo lionni's works as well as more eric carle. we got a membership and hope to go back often.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
