Dallas calls a belt a "seat belt", he had one once, he used it so much it broke.  Robert comes home many nights from work removes his belt and chucks it up the stairs, I think in an effort to get comfortable.  Dallas always asks about his seat belt.

Emily is really into reading chapter books and telling her friends about it. One thing that is harder about some chapter books that we haven't practiced is hyphenated words.  A level 1 or 2 easy reader is very conscious about spacing and allows the entire word to remain on the same line.  We haven't practiced reading a word when it is separated with a dash. 

Fancy Nancy released it's first chapter book. 

Noelle talks all the time, with passion.  She will come up and tell you something so important, she talks with her hands and her eyebrows.

This was the last Saturday Rob will be home for the next month and half.  It's Muscle Car season.

He will probably need to go to LA in the fall, it might need to be a family trip (Cheryl and Jim?)

The rain was so nice the last couple of days, but I could use the temps to be in the 70's again. 

We have gone to the Aquatic Center once, we need to go 12 more times this summer so the family pass will be a deal.

Emily is going to go to a music day camp offered by a church this summer.

Dallas wants to drive his race car all day long, and be a Duke boy when he grows up. 

Today we went geocaching.  It was so fun.  Dallas and Emily really get into finding the "treasure".  We have yet to find one with a treasure that you can take if you leave one for the next, we just get the ones you sign.

The wall behind the table, specifically behind the highchair and where one kiddo sits is getting gross.  I scrubbed it today.  We have had a kid or two sitting up against that wall for 5 years.
