Abby's Hair Stylist




I love that Brad is such a good Dad. He always wants the kids to go to bed with dry hair, completely dry hair. I guess I don't do it quite as well because he has taken over styling Abby's hair at night. I am not exactly sure what he does differently but it is always super dry and her curls lay just as they should when he gets done with it. He and Abby have their own little bedtime routine, including a lot of time with the blow dryer and it strikes me as adorable so I had to share.


P.S.--When she outgrows those Toy Story pajamas, it will be a sad day. I should probably pick up some spring-weight ones for her next time I am at the store!

Challenging Dad


Eager to see what all the Kindle fuss was about, Alex asked to play the word games after school and try to find some of his sight words. Finally, a viable opponent for Brad.

There Is A Lot Going On Here

Looks like Abby was playing air hockey or rocket ships while contemplating using her potty and sporting her new koala backpack (minus the "leash" portion).

Way To Go!


Saturday afternoon Alex completed the big dinosaur floor puzzle and was pretty proud of himself.

Stop Looking At Me!


Brad does not like people looking over his shoulder while he plays "Every Word" on the Kindle. Maybe one day he'll shatter my high score...maybe.

Big Girl Room

Ready to read books before bed.
Just a girl, her blankie, and Wheezie, you know, from Toy Story.
Dollhouse goes in the hallway at night. It is easier that way :)

Abby has moved up to a twin bed and a big girl bookshelf. She likes spreading out and that she gets to have a step stool next to her bed. I particularly like the wall expression that reads "Hug me tight and kiss me goodnight".

Sibling Love


Alex likes reading to Abby, especially when it means putting off bathtime "just 5 more minutes".
