Fell Into A Pool Of Purple Elephants

Joe and I took Abby to Wal-art last night to see about buying her a bike. We live in the perfect neighborhood for bike riding and she has outgrown her little tricycle. *sniff*. She cracks us up all the time with her little antics and sayings. We were walking through looking at the bikes and Joe reached up to get a bike off the really high hook it was hanging on and Abby says "Uh, I don't think so. That is a big bike for big humans." LOL I crack up at this. Then we stopped at the store because Joe was fixing his famous chicken/bacon/ranch (on the grill...YUMMY) Well, the girls and I waited in the car while he ran in. While we were waiting I saw that I had missed Mom's call, 4 times, so I called her back. Abby gets on the pone with her and asks "Mimi, are you a human?" LOL I have no idea what the deal is with the whole being a human but she is such a funny little girl.

Here recently she has refused to count right (1,2,3 etc). She claims that she is counting like her Dad. When I asked him about it we finally decided figured out that when she was visiting him they played hide and seek and they counted out of order just trying to be funny. Well, she took it seriously and now won't count right for anything. LOL Anyway, before wal-mart last night we went to a book store to pick up a book I had ordered. Abby was looking around at all the books for her age and all of a sudden I realize she's counting... 1,2,3,4,5... I look at Joe and say "Hey, do you hear that? He grins and says (in his deep voice drawing the word out) "yes". I just laugh but I did feel relieved knowing that she CAN do it, she just doesn't WANT to.

Took me back to the old laundry times I had where it was a struggle...wanting to do it and doing it, come to find out, were very different things. Ha!

Well, today is Saturday and we are taking the girls and heading out of town! Yeah!!! We're so glad to be able to get away and go do something! I'll post pics of our adventures after we get back.

Oh and a belly update.....I am 18 weeks pregnant today. Yes, my tummy definitely looks pregnant, Joe can now rub my belly and make wishes....LOL I have a dr's appt next Wednesday and will let ya know how it goes! So far, things have been drama free (thank God) and we are hoping for a plump little healthy baby. :)
