*updated* Plenty of Sun... and rain

This will be a really fast post because Tom ran down my computer's battery and it is flashing angrily at me. I'll try to post coordinating photos when I have more battery in the morning.... (ok pictures are up! with some new stuff too)

We spent the morning at the local fair... oh it was fun but HOT HOT HOT. I think the temp was 94 when we left at one o'clock? The girls were miserable by then and I knew it was time to go. Abby loved the baby ducks and the kittens. She told me that she wanted the black one... we had to move on so I didn't give in....She also got her face painted. I think she would have rather painted the lady's face...

My mom, sister and brother were all there too along with an aunt and uncle/cousins so we were quite a group! Though I had plenty of help with the girls which was great. In the Expo building they had a booth with these 'pillow pets' Abby was so excited when she saw me (she had been walking with my sister...) that she took my hand and said... "come here mommy! Look!" She kept trying to walk off with them. I still feel a little bad i didn't just get one... but seriously how many stuffed animals that girl has... we'll see. I may give in yet...

The girls all napped on the way back in the cool van and I managed to get all three in the house without waking them up (yay me!) It was really nice to take a cool shower and not have screaming kids at the door... or trying to get in with me.

Abby has a new found love in playing with my hair. She probably did for like 30 minuets or so today just brushing and brushing and pretending to put preeties in. At one point she went into the bathroom and was digging around. I kept asking her what she was looking for and finally I got it. "Mommy I need a cut to cut the hair..." She was looking for a scissors to cut my hair. I had to explain to her that only mommy cut's hair (and normally i only cut Feebee's hair at that...)

*note to self: Keep all scissors out of reach*

Kiley and Kara shut themselves in the nursery today. When I came to get them they were both playing with the carseats. I wished they liked sitting in them as much as they like crawling into them. They are starting to play together better and better. Which is probably trouble for both of us. 
Kiley crawled out of the highchair... yes seriously. I went to get clothes for both of them while they were eating their snacks and when I got back she had her feet on the tray and was holding onto the back of the highchair. The little wiggle worm!!! Good thing I didn't take long to find clothes for them!

We attempted to go swimming with my brothers and sister tonight. But with our luck the one pool was closed early for this week only and by the time we drove to another town their pools were closing in 30 minuets. Abby was sad but we got ice cream and took a bath when we got home to try and make up for it a little. That girl would live in the water... I hope we get a chance to go play again sometime soon.

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
