missing my girls



well the girls have been in utah visiting family all week. here are some of the girl hinckley cousins at a gathering. they are having a great time with their grandparents, aunts and uncles and especially COUSINS.

the first few days they were gone, i was quite sad. i still miss them, but now i am more used to a quiet house and having only one helper while i make dinner. the boys seem to have benefitted from the extra attention. evan loves to "talk" to his sisters on the phone and has taken to wrestling jake. the girls return on sunday and we are looking forward to seeing them.

Looks like they're having a blast out there. Grandparents and cousins make for the best friends sometimes.

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."
