Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere bubbles...

Around our house we are finding that we have to develop a secret language for certain things/activities or else the twiners go ga-ga at the very mention of these certain things.  For instance, the babies love the pool and I am terrified to take all 3 kids in the pool by myself - without proper adult supervision (aka Scott) - so if we mention the words SWIMMING or POOL the babes get crazy excited thinking that it's wa-wa time. So the code word for the pool at the Herrick home is HOLLY... and yes Sam came up with the name all on her own... so if we ask you to come to the HOLLY with us we mean come over and swim between the hours of 1 and 3pm while the babes are in slumberland.

So you're probably wondering what this little tid-bit has to do with bubbles. Well, just the word bubbles conjures up some magical twinkle in all 3 of the kids eyes. We haven't quite come up with a code for bubbles yet - mostly because it's just, too sweet to watch them get so excited for bubble-time. Bubbles just seem to do that to them... it's so pure... it's so fantastic... it's the sweetest thing!




And I really did try to get pictures of B & B trying to chase all of the bubbles all over the yard but they were just to quick for me and my photo-trigger finger.

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
