yay Jimmy! 

There's hairs on my chopsticks! 

Noodies! 

Noodies a la Ricky!

Holla!
Rachel's leaving for Mexico on the morrow, so we thought we should tell you what we did tonight: It was fantastic.
I went to the library and...okay, it started with the swimming. We went swimming, that was fun. The best part is coming up. As we were walking back into our dorm, we saw Jimmy, nice Jimmy, see Jimmy? Jimmy's eating Chinese food. Jimmy doesn't like the Hong Kong Lo Mein noodles, so nice Jimmy gives them to us. Lots of noodies. Yeth, yeth, noodies. First we at them Hugh Jackman style (except he wasn't really here darn it), then we used CHOP sticks, which we were better off with than a fork. We sat in the floor, in wet bathingsuits, and it was good. Then Hannah squirted Kool Aid in her eye. And we laughed till we cried. But the best part is, sayeth Rachel, the Kool Aid only had 2 sugars!

Also, Rachel discovered her purpose in life: To write a novel based on our college years, affectionately entitled "Lean On Me." Or "Leave On Me" whichever you prefer.

We have a little equation (contusion) for you: We loved last year in TA/KY a lot, even with its flaws. That's how we love people, in spite of their flaws. Therefore, last year is a person. And we name that person Ricky. We love you, Ricky.

We shall now proceed to add some pictures, so you too can join in the fun!

(And maybe clouds, and puffins maybe I think they go quite high too...)

We hate kids by Rachel and Hannah

It's been waaaay too long. Rachel and I are duly shamed by this, believe us. We have good excuses- and all of them have names, and ages, and social security numbers (to those of you who are a bit slower, we're talking about the little demons that we work with).
So here's what all has happened since we last typed...
We've been working. A lot. All day. All week.
Our favorite kid stories thus far:
Rachel: A police officer came to visit our four and five year olds to talk about safety and proceeded to pull out his handcuffs and ask "We don't use these on our girlfriends, now do we?" and all the kids chimed together "Noooooooo!!!!!" HAHAHA
Hannah: A four year old we'll call Nathaniel walked out of the "gross motor area" which includes a large, padded spaceship, saying "Dammit to hell! Dammit to hell! Dammit to hell!" When asked why he was so upset, he replied "Dammit to hell! My spaceship blew up!"
HAHAHA

We've done other stuff too. Like pick blackberries and play in creeks, good summer grown up stuff. And then we peed in our pants (NOT REALLY.)
Most recently we have been occupied by EZ coming to visit: we went to the park, cooked dinner, watched movies, played Mario Kart, and discovered on of life's hidden rules: Don't squeeze doughnuts!

Today, Rachel is being boring and packing. Hannah is being adventurous and going to the pool, mostly to see the lifeguard with the fedora. Rachel isn't really boring, she's going to Mexico!

Hasta la vista, and some parting words of wisdom:
Harsh words will not break your bones but fine words butter no parsnips.
