At the dinner table...

Me: Can you girls believe that in a month we'll be in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America, where President Barack Obama lives?!

Ava: Can we meet him?

Me: No, not this time. You have to do something extraordinary to meet him.

Sofia: What's extraordinary mean?

Me: Something extra special like helping a lot of people, saving a lot of people, becoming a Senator or Representative representing the people of your state...or be a movie star or a really great sports person...

Sofia: Well, I think Daddy could meet him, then.

Me: Why?

Sofia: Well, because he's a great Chef & a great baseball player.

Sofia: No, mommy, you can't...

Me: Why?

Sofia: Because you don't do anything extraordinary.

Ava & Sofia: Can we go outside & play now??

Closed because the river ran over it. The major highway. Flooded and closed...Unbelievable...) but in the grand scheme of things, traffic is nothing...And we were so glad that the National Guard was here to help with the traffic fiasco...

So, what have the girls been up to lately, you ask?

More activities than I have pictures of...but here are some of the things we did:
