Indiana Abbi

A couple of weeks ago Abigail was having a very hard time going to bed, and after an hour of in and out of bed we heard something strange from her room. Jeff got up to investigate and came back in the living room with a hysterical Abigail. He told me that she was stuck in her window. Her feet were on on the window sill and her arms were wedged against the sides of the window. It took almost 5 minutes for her to calm down so we could talk, and then she would not tell us why she was in the window. Well several minutes and lots of convincing later she finally gave me this explination, "Well, I was not supposed to leave my room so i was playing a game...a pretend game, and something touched me and I just had to get away." Momsense kicked in at this point and I asked "Abbi were you playing Indiana Jones." The look on her face was all the confirmation I needed. Aparantly she and her Dad had been watching movie trailers before bed,. Dad says he will be much more careful choosing bedtime activities from now on! But now we can call her Indiana Abbi

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Jeffrey!! I just thought I should tell the world what a great and wonderful husband you are, and also what an awsome Dad. It is the Father's and son's campout tonight, and even though Carter is too young to go, Jeff was really looking forward to a boy's night. Then he found out that Abbi's dance recital is also tonight, and he is staying in town so he doesn't miss it. What a GREAT dad! So Happy Birthday to the World's Greatest DAD!

I PROMISE

I PROMISE that I will more faithfully update my blog. I have had some technical difficulties and now 3 months later have figured it all out. So Sorry for all of you who have missed out on reading about Cater getting tubes in his ears (way fun btw) Sydney trying to fly off the top bunk bed and dislocating her finger, not very long ago she did the same to her elbow (thinks she is unbreakable) and the very exciting story of Indiana Abbi. Well I will have to write about that one on my next post, because it is very funny!

So there we go, I PROMISE to update my blog so I stop getting yelled at :)

The BIG D!!

So I finally figured out the whole picture thing, turns out its not that hard. So We got to play with Alice, The Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins and Bert. We played Limbo and sang songs and Hokey Pokey. It was so much fun. I definatly recommend the Princess Lunch if your kids like the princesses It was so much fun and Abbi and Syd are still talking about it.

Valantines

So Abigail got her first valantine from a boy yesterday. She came home with a blue braclet, probably from a happy meal, and told me that Tristan, the BOOOYY, had given it to her for Valantines. Only a 6 year old can turn a one sylable word into a 6 sylable word. She was happy for a present and I was thinking " are you kidding me you are only 6 years old and not old enough to be getting presents from boys" AAARGGG. Tristan really seems to like Abbi, when I volunteer in her class he just hangs on every word she says and follows her around. She only seems anoyed that a BOOOYY won't leave her alone. Thank heavens, Im just not ready for a crush yet.

5 K what the $%^%

So Lisa and I ran my first 5k on Jan 19th. I finished. No, actually I did pretty well. I finished in 35 minutes. Lisa did a little better, but she waited for me at the finish line so our times are pretty much the same. Lou told me that during the race i would probably hate it and wonder why the &^% I had paid to do it, but by the time I got home I would be ready to sign up for another one. Guess what... She was right. Who knows maybe I could even work up to a 10k. I would have never guessed that I would ever call myself a runner, but it feels pretty good to give myself that title.

DISNEYLAND!

So we are back from Disneyland and it was so much fun. Carter stayed home with Grandma Trisha and Papa Amazing. He didn't think he would have any fun if he went :) And the rest of us had a blast!! Some of the highlights...
* The princess lunch- The princesses came around to each table to say hi sign autographs and give hugs. Sydney could hardly stay in her seat, she was so excited to see Cinderella. And she kept yelling Abbi there is your favorite one to, see see see Sleeping Beauty!
* The Electric Parade- Abbi was so excited to see Alice in Wonderland, and I thought she was going to hyperventilate when Alice singled her out to say hi and ask her questions. Then later in the park Abbi and Syd got to play Limbo and the Hoky Poky with Alice, and the mad hatter.
* Quote of the trip "Dad, you really need to chew up and swallow your food better so it doesn't get stuck in your neck" Abbi thought Jeff's (Little, tiny only shows up when he bends his head) double chin was food that he hadn't swallowed. Good thing jeff has a sense of humor. We are still laughing about that one.

There were so many fun things that I can't even tell them all, but all of the fun stuff made up for the way the trip began. Abbi gets car sick and it was really bad this time. Jeff has learned that when I say pull over I mean pull over this instant. He learned that the hard way, projectile vomit into his hair, and all over his seat. enough said.
