Some more stories

Here are three stories Abby wrote tonight.

The Sea Turtle in the world.
Once upon a time there was a turtle. The turtle wanted to go all around the world. Then the rainbow went across the world . Then the flower grew around the world. The turtle saw footprints. The footprints belonged to another turtle. He saw the footprints and said “OH that’s really big”. Then the turtle found a house. The moon came up. He went into the house. He saw a fountain. He grew older and older and older and he got a cane because he was old. 


The little Child
Once upon a time there was a child. She was a girl.  The child was playing a game of dice. Then when he was playing the game of dice, he fell asleep. He dreamed that he was going to be a bad guy and shoot arrows everywhere.  There was a little sheep that he was shooting arrows at. It was in  a fence.  It had one tree. Lightening was there.  Time was up, he fell off his bed.
The end

 
The Beetle of Doom
Once upon a time there was a beetle who had a mask on.  It was a face mask. There was fire on the mask.  He took the mask off. He saw one little egg on the mask and took it off.  But the beetle was really magical.  He could fly! He could even wear off the fire on his mask.  The fire was as light as a flashlight. He had one question, the question was if he could get out of here. He saw an arrow pointing down, and thought maybe that was the way to get out of there.

Once upon a time there was a little princess named Abby -Rapunzel. One day a prince came and visited me, Then I was surprised but he was already married. Then another prince came. He was already married too. And another prince came. But he was already married too. Then Abby-REpunzal wanted to find a prince that was not married. She gone to the forest and found one. She married him and they lived happily ever after. The End

She can see :)

Abby got her first pair of reading glasses this week. She has needed thme for about 2 months, but I have been avoiding them, and the arguments that might come. Boy was I wrong! (Aren't I usually) She has loved weaering them and now wears them when reading, writing, on the computer and playing tball.

ANd to prove that she is still just as cute check out these pictures!

Abby's new Room

Abigail and I are switching rooms soon. There is no way I can fit two kids in her room, so she will be moving into the master bathroom and I will be taking her room. In order to bribe her into the switch- have I mentioned that my daughter does NOT like change :) I told her that she can pick out the paint color. Today we took our first trip to Lowes to pick out the color. The only color I ruled out was Pink. I just cannot do that to the lil guy, especially since he will be living in a house full of estrogen.

Now you must know my daughter. She is the GIRLIEST girl I have ever met. She loves makeup and dresses and playing make over. At 18 months old she said her favorite color was pink, it has not changed in the past 3 years. Boy was I surprised when Abby picked out the color she did:


Now she has requested that we paint a purple and yellow poka dot dinosaur on the wall as well but we are definitely showing growth!

Azaleas

Wilmington, NC is known for their Azaleas. These flowers are so important they get their own festival. Magically, these plants bloom the week before the festival so every yard I go past is filled with VIBRANT Pink and white azalea flowers.

Here are some pictures that I took today.
