Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

So funny! I am very impressed with all the intelligent conversations your kids have with each other. Mine just scream at each other.

OH, make no mistake...they scream too!

In fact a good part of this conversation (all the parts with exclamation points) involved some degree of yelling or screaming.

The best part is you are able to write it the way they say it - which makes it so fun for all the rest of us to read! Thanks for sharing all the fun cute things the kids do. We love it.
