Sometimes you just gotta play on the jungle gym! No no, not the zillion dollar one in the backyard — the free one in the front :P

THIS is an EXCELLENT IDEA!!! :/

She was very proud of her accomplishment!

Well, Abby’s first year of school is almost over. All of the end of school activities are taking place. Unfortunately, Water Day got rained out :(  But Messy Art Day was a GO!!! Jamey was able to work from home and keep Hannah — so I was able to go up to the school and help with this very fun/messy day!

The kids were able to squish their feet in paint and walk across a long black paper making foot prints. They also played in colored shaving cream and with spray bottles filled with watery paint. They used fly swatters and plungers to make designs on paper with paint. And finally they got to drive little cars through some paint and then roll them around on the art paper to see the designs the tires made. So much fun!!! Most of the kids there had huge smiles on their faces the whole time.

Since I was a helper that day – I didn’t think it would be fair to whip out my camera and start taking pics of MY kid. I did get some fun ones when we go home though. Ever wonder what Abby would look like with freckles? :)

Hannah liked watching us take pics too :)

I’d rather have broccoli and cous cous!! Seriously?? SERIOUSLY!!

So, Abby has turned into quite a picky eater. The good thing is she doesn’t really beg for specific foods – she just chooses to eat/not eat what is in front of her. So be it… maybe she just isn’t hungry?

Hannah, on the other hand, will eat most anything. Jamey and I were going to be eating quite late the other night – so I made the girls a quick grilled cheese and some carrot sticks. Abby sat and ate her food. But not Hannah. STRANGE!! Hannah is more like a small goat or vacuum.  I was really perplexed with this one!

The girls were winding down and getting ready for bed. Jamey grilled us some steaks (Abby would NEVER even consider eating meat like this) and I made some broccoli and cous cous. The next thing I know Hannah pops up and says, “tree” “TREE”!!!! Ah, the kid wants some broccoli! Who knew??? So, in the end, Hannah split my steak with me – bite for bite!! Then finished off my trees and cous cous!

Abby was content painting.

Abby noticed Toy Story playing on the TVs when we were hunting for new appliances. Jamey told her he would see if he could find a copy for her. This proved to be way more difficult than he imagined :) He followed through though. He ordered from Amazon :) Anyway, she loves it. I’ll bet she’s watched it five times in only three days!! Yesterday she drew “The Hero” AKA Buzz Lightyear :)

Several of our good friends ran the GO! St. Louis race this past weekend. Jamey, Abby, Hannah and I all went to watch. Abby was so excited that Kelli was going to “win” and get a gold medal. She was lost for words when Kelli let her try it on. It was a good day with great friends!

We were getting ready to head home so Abby let Kelli have her winning gold medal back :)

I’d also like to mention that you may see that Kelli “only” did the half marathon — about two weeks ago she ran the Bataan Memorial Death March (26.2 miles) in her combat boots and other gear . Kelli is on the left :)

She opted to wear an adorable skirt for this race. She is one amazing person and athlete!

The Parkway School District participated in “Hats On Day for kids fighting cancer”. Abby wore her pink Old Navy hat. She donated 50 cents and is super excited about getting a sticker today! — Hannah stepped out to wave bye bye as Jamey and Abby were leaving.

Projects!

Well today’s projects weren’t mine. Thank goodness!! The roof is being replaced and a window too! We had some pretty brave guys and a really big truck!!! Now we are left with a big dumpster.

The window is in and the roof should be completed tomorrow. We’ve already had the ac serviced. Jamey has replaced some smoke alarms and fixed a water shut off handle. And finally we tightened a nut under the sink. We have one more inspection tomorrow and then we’ll be done! Whew!!

Our realtor says that all but one of our requests have already been fixed at our new house too!! It seems everyone is ready to get this show on the road :)

I just wanted to do a quick recap. Jamey was a great daddy. He held Abby’s hand through the airport when she looked like this. And he held Hannah’s hand through Cocoa Beach while she looked like this. :)

Landed!!

We’re back! Abby gave Jamey a hand with the luggage :) On the ride back to our car I told Abby she had a blue tongue. I took a picture so she could see. Then I told Hannah to show me her tongue. This is what I got :/
