Too smart for their own good



We figured out that if we hang on the sides, there is more room in the cart for our birthday presents!

So many possibilities!

Brielle: So the trick is to get it past the geese and to the little ducks . . .

Brielle: The total distance d is equal to v, the speed at which the projectile is launched times the cosine of theta, the angle that it is launched at, ideally 45 degrees, over the gravity constant g times . . . 


Rianne: Or you could just throw enough bread in that supply exceeds the demand of all three of the animals you are trying to feed . . .

Can we go swing now?

Maybe a step stool?

And jump again . . .

Finally got on. . . .

Playing with a puzzle Brielle? I'm separating like-colored pieces by their negative space.

Playing with a train Rianne? I'm testing magnetic dipole-dipole interactions and calculating the potential energy of the interaction. . . that "boy" might be "playing with trains"

Teagan, playing with an iPad? Actually, I'm developing an SQL relational database using Toad to track my toys . . .

Dad, it seems you are underestimating our cognitive power, I hope you've started saving for college, professional degrees already cost upwards of $300,000 at the elite colleges . . .

Eggs and Cows

Sometimes the box is as fun as the toys that come in it.

I'm going down, down, down, I'm going down . . .

Oh my cute dress . . .

No Brielle, don't do it . . . Teagan: Mom, Brielle's picking her nose . . . (you can put the girl in the dress . . . )

They were actually pretty good at this egg toss. . .

The five girls Gracie, Brielle, Rianne, Teagan, and Ellie.

Dad, does the cat really live out here?

Let's go get it!

Ellie push harder, we wan to go super high!

Another day at the office.

We're going on an Easter egg hunt soon!

I'm going to fill the whole bucket up to the top!

And I'm going to take the candy from her bucket and put it in my bucket!

Cow.

Dad can we have a cow?

Why don't we ask grandmom for a cow for our birthdays?
 
I like that one.

Sissies, did you pick your cows?
 
I'm gonna go get my cow so nobody else takes it. Seeya next week!

Just another week of March/April madness



Pretty cute . . . no KQ at church so we played "let's run up and down the hallway."
 
The church lead singer and lead guitar broke a string, the girls are helping him decide if he should replace them all or just one.

Mindy called me over to take a picture of this, I'm not sure what they were doing, they did it all on their own. Anything to avoid going to bed.

Another thing Teagan can "do by myself!"

No, really, she can do it by herself!

Brielle, you're copying Teagan's homework.

Picasso said, "Great artists steal!"

The girls from the second row said "It's the jump house truck!"


We're here to pick you up. Where's Teagan? She must be hiding!


Pick your nose and strike a pose . . .
Her tongue's moving around, that mean's she's going to ask for food . . . seeya next week!
