The funniest thing Abby said today

"I would like a nice crisp green salad with orange carrots. And no
dressing and no onions and no peppers." When I delivered it to her,
"oh! thanks mom! Lets go trick or treating." Then she dumped the
salad into her pumpkin told me to say trick or treat and then gave me
lettuce as my treat.

Train set

Our neighbors are way to generous with their toys. Billy sold his
train table and pieces to Abby for $20! This is as much as I could
fit on the table. We still have more track, trees, stop signs, and
people that I didn't even put out. She now has 29 train cars, 5
regular cars, a helicopter, and an airplane. She says the airplane
is "flying to granny's house. High in the sky up above the clouds"
We are going to see Becca and Josh, Granny, Papa, and Ben next week.
(BTW Bex, Abby keeps asking me if I love you and then says, "And you
love Josh too?")

Garage sale prep

Abby stuck my price tags all over both of us while we were prepping
for the garage sale. I got rid of SO much stuff! It rocked!

Crayola Factory - All worn out!

At the end of a busy morning; she could barely stand up! Of course
Abby fell asleep in the car. When she woke up at home she was "so
sad" because my friend Randi was gone!

Crayola Factory - Model Magic

This was by far Abby's favorite activity. She also really enjoyed
our picnic lunch and her first McDonald's experience.

Crayola Factory - Painting!

Crayola Factory - Coloring!

Last week Abby and I went to the Crayola Factory with one of the
teachers from school. First we colored.

Summer days

Coloring and singing

New found interest in coloring. And singing to Jungle Book.

Feeling better!

It seems that H1N1 is almost gone! (Abby still has a nasty cough.)
Pigtails and all smiles heading out for Jill's this AM.

Recovering from swine flu?

I think Abby is literally recovering from swine flu. REALLY! We
didn't go to have her tested but there was a flu epidemic at my
school last week and a confirmed case of H1N1 virus of one student.
Abby seems to be fighting the same things that my students were.
She's onto the cought phase so the germs should be gone soon!

Everybody's outside!

Randi came over today and we were playing outside. When the neighbor
kids saw that Abby was outside, they asked to come out too! That
great because she loves playing with the big kids. The two boys are
Cameron and Billy. (Abby calls Billy, "My Billy"). Billy's mom gave
them all popsicles. Abby said she had a really fun day! Look at
what the humidity is doing to her hair! CURLS!

Princess Presto's crown

I brought Abby back a crown and a flower from Medieval Times
yesterday. She wanted to go to the castle too. She asked, "Oh no!
How will we get there?"
