beginning and end...

each year i like to try and get a first day of school and last day of school picture taken of the kids in the same outfit the day they wore on the first day. it makes the differences so much more noticeable to me...and although i messed up on the shirt for calvary (i totally should have looked at the pictures for clarity) it is obvious that so much has changed this year...

Harper-isms

"sorry; i was having technical difficulties." (harper's explanation of why it took her so long in the bathroom. apparently her stall was out of toilet paper and she had to crawl under the neighboring stall and get some.)
"i haven't seen one of those in years!" (harper's reaction to seeing a man smoking a pipe outside of a store the other day)
"she is a gallon of milk and 2 inches." (harper explaining how big her baby is.)

"that is exactly why you do not let go of a child in the ocean!" (harper after a wave went over her head)

"Look at all that road!" (harper describing a local housing development)
"Let's just hug forever."
"My mommy is not pretty!" (harper's response to my students' continued comments on how i looked that evening...any warm feelings they brought were turned biting cold with her exclamation!)

"Boys do not have hearts!" ( when i told Harper that she broke Kyle's heart )
"Calvary has goop" ( her explanation of Calvary's croup)

"you stinky!" (a little girl told her mother that she didn't like calvary because he was a little boy and i said 'don't worry about it calvary. she is just a stinkin' girl. calvary then turned and shouted this laughing at the little girl!)
"I happy!"
"Where sissy go!?" (calvary's response any time that harper is not nearby)
