Today's stuff

Today's favorite quote from Abby... At the dinner table, Daddy looked at Abby and commented on how fast she's growing. "Thats up to God, Daddy. He made me so its his choice how fast I grow." Huh, shut daddy right up.

And Gigi is trying to jump. She crouches down into a deep knee bend then raises herself up lifting one leg off the ground. She's not quite getting air, but the learning process sure is cute.

Here is a picture we took last night. Abby fell asleep in our bed and someone else did too. If we let her, kitty would smother our sleeping kids. Somehow she snuck into the bedroom:)

Thats all!

Cheers,

From the mouths of babes...

OK, so I'm not a "great" or even "good" blogger. The thought of carving time out of every day, or so, to share with cyber folks is daunting. But, after a really, really, intensive mental exercise - ok, so I was reading another gal's blog, I decided to make this easy on you and ME. I will now be posting short and sweet quotes from my kids. 

Here are a few:

Abby: "I hate foot beards." She saw a caveman exhibit and did not like their long beards. I had a different mental picture.

"So, mom, how does the blue box you put the mail in, know which house to send it to. Are there tubes under the ground going to all the different houses?"

"At ballet today, a girl asked me to be her friend. I said yes."

Mom - "What was her name?"

Abby - "I don't know."

Gigi - "baby" which means baby; "baba" or water; "Owey" - I'm hurt, or cold, or hot, or itchy; "mama" - Mama, or I want (addressed to anyone); "Bubby" - Buddy (Grammy & pappa's dog).

That all for now. See, short and sweet.

Schools out for summer!

Yesterday was Abby's last day of school at Seeds. The kids had a great time painting, glitter, balloons, water balloons, stories, etc. It was bittersweet as half of the kids said "goodbye" earlier this week due to vacation schedules. But the small class size was nice and intimate. We will miss our Seeds friends this summer.

Abby is making father's day cards (I know - we are a little behind the eight ball) to send to Papa and Bobi and Dad. Stickers, Stickers, Stickers. I sure hope the dad's like princessess:).

Gigi is down for her nap - the little cuddler brought me her blankie at 9:30 and laid her head on my shoulder... Hmmm, could you be tired little one? We've been on the go, so I'm sure some early rest will be a good thing.

We're missing the Seeds end of year party at the Zoo today due to nap schedule. BUMMER! I tried, really tried to keep Gigi up, but she crashed early today. I told Ab's we'd have a date night tonight to make up for it. May Kung Fu Panda? I hear its hilarious.

I'm getting ready to go to Tahoe with the girls. We'll be staying with my friend Allison and her daughter Leighton (Abby's best bud). We're going to have a great time!

Hello again

Its been a looong time. So much has happened since last entry. Abby is now 5! Crazy. She is starting to read, which is really exciting. She is such a sweet girl. She recently picked out DVD's for a trip - one for Daddy; one for Mommy; One for Gigi; One for Nanna, etc. But not one for her. Too cute.

We had a great visit at Mom and Dad's place in La Verne. They have a pool in their housing complex. So, Abby and her cousin Kaitlyn had a pool party! They are such good buds.

And Gigi... She's into everything - I mean everything. Right this moment, she's in the cubby of a coffee table:) She's also my little cuddle bug. Very good at loves.

We're having a mellow day... Unpacking, cleaning up, and getting ready for daddy's day:)
