last but not least

we can't forget jake! he had fun at the beach as well, but it was hard to keep him from getting sand in his mouth. i eventually ended up holding him in my lap. he loved being outside and feeling the cool sand on his feet.

after the beach, we drove home. i forgot to mention that we drove up sunday night and stayed at a hotel. of course, we had to go swimming monday morning. i'm amazed at how much excitement just a hotel room can offer children. this was a great trip. we didn't have it planned out well beforehand - just knew we wanted to see the grave site. so there was just a nice relaxed feeling and everything extra we did was a great bonus.

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."
