Finally some good weather!

We are loving this warm weather! I took the kids to the zoo today and they were in heaven. Of course, all of Nashville had the same idea...but it was still fun! All the animals were out and in clear view. But the kids favorite thing at the zoo is their awesome playground.  There is a huge slide that Finley always goes on, but I never take Vera because I get to claustrophobic.  So today Finley was a great big brother and took her all the way up the castle and down the slide twice! She kept saying "i love you inley"...she calls him "inley."  And then we came home and played T-ball with daddy.  Finley has become so good at hitting the ball- such improvement in 3 days of teaching!

Things they say:

Finley:  - He calls bacon "pig meat"

-He is the biggest story teller, and makes things up just like his dad.  The other day a girl asked his name and he told her "Joey."  Then laughed and told me "that's just a silly game I play."

-He told me he knew where gas came from...Jesus.

-Our cars got broken into and Lukes stereo system stolen...and finn's reply to it "Mom, I thought there were no bad guys on this planet.  You should have killed them with a sword." ( I of course spoke with him about not killing and that police just take bad guys to jail....)

-He constantly tells us he wants to live with grandma and grandpa...not just visit them.  Yesterday he told me he need to call and ask them.

Vera:  - She will tell you she loves you over and over if you do something for her, like take her on a walk or when Luke lets her play a video game with him.

-When she wakes up in the morning she yells from her bed "shawnie! Where are you!" and when I went in this morning she put her hand on her cheek and said "Mommy, I cute." 

- She likes to tell me she is beautiful or I am beautiful all the time

-she refers to herself in the 3rd person in all conversation

-if she wants me to do something she always says "Hurry, run!"

-if she wants help up off the floor or something she says "hand! hand!'

She is obsessed with dogs and airplanes, and Frozen, of course. She quotes Frozen all the time. She has just started becoming obsessed with 101 Dalmations. She has also entered the "do it myself" stage....she gets so mad when I help her do anything.
