I learned from last semester that I needed to find thing to do with the girls to keep us all entertained. And I just planned on Josh being gone all the time. I think that this has helped. It doesn't seem like these finals are as bad as the last ones, but I think I was just more prepared for these ones.
Here are some things we have done to stay busy while Josh studied:
It was a rainy day, but it was really warm, so we went out and played in a HUGE mud puddle. The girls thought it was the coolest thing ever.
They were SO dirty after!!!! Look at that bath water! EWWW! It actually was a lot worse in person, the pic makes it look a lot better!
we went caterpillar hunting. 
The girls carried around caterpillars in cups for a whole day. They loved them. Hope accidentally dumped hers out and then it got stepped on. She didn't even know forever, and would keep showing off her empty cup.
Brielle took hers to a BBQ and it got away (with the help of daddy, who of course felt bad for the caterpillar). Destiny still has hers and it just turned into a cocoon. I am blaming Josh that my girls don't get to experience this!
Brielle went out to find another one, and came back in hysterics. She had accidentally stepped on it and she was so sad. She cried for 20 mins, and still brings it up. She keeps saying "I'm sorry your dead mr. caterpillar"
We conned Josh into going to the park with us. We went to this park with play group and it was so amazing. I couldn't wait to take Josh. He had to study while we were there, but it was still a fun family activity.
There is a sand box at the park and Brie was digging and found these dinosaur bones.
Hope spends most of the time in the sand! she loves it!
What a little diva! She just kept on posing!
They love the swings! I love this park! There is so much for them to do! And I can stretch out on a blanket and rest!
Yesterday for family night we took a picnic to the school and ate outside the library. It wasn't near long enough, we needed like 4 more hours with our Joshy, but it was great!
Brielle is really into taking pictures for us!So, there you go! That is what we have been up to lately! Not much, but still fun! We are getting packed and ready to head to UTAH for the summer! Josh is almost done with finals, and i can't believe our first year is over! It has flown by!
