she actually made me laugh

Ab discovered knock knock jokes about a year ago, and except for the 1/2 dozen she memorized they were all BAD...real groaners. Well today she actually told a funny one, that she came up with all on her own!

Abigail: Knock Knock
Me: Whose there?
Abigail: Burr
Me: Burr who?
Abigail: Burr, it's cold out here let me in!

The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss

Tonight we went to a Dr. Seuss art show. Grandma was planning on buying Abigail a lithograph but the cheapest one was $950 so we left empty handed. BUT Abigail did so well. She talked with the hostess, explained which story was her favorite, which lithograph, and why. She behaved so well. Calmly looked at the paintings and was just perfect in the gallery. It was a really good night. I entered a raffle to win a lithograph, the only way it could be better is if I actually win.

Poetry by Abigail

Pull up your shirt
Pull down your pants
and get your but on the potty

I love the potty humor!!

Never to Early for Jello Shots

For those of you who do not know Abigail is competitive, VERY COMPETITIVE!!
She loves to win. She hears the word contest or prize she is all in it and she will not stop until she wins. So...

Abby went to a Scooby Doo themed birthday party and one of the games was a jello eating contest. The rules were you needed to eat without using your hands and you could not pick up the bowl. Abby does not particularly like jello but she heard the word contest and was ALL about it!







and of course she won


by a landslide

First Signs of Spring ??

Abby brought home a painting of a flower today. Her teacher said she did it all by herself. It is a nice refreshing sign that spring is on its way despite this long cold wet winter we are having.

ANd she writes!

Abigail has been out sick for the past three days. Amazingly she is in the 0.01% of people who get strep after a tonsillectomy. Since she has been and pretty ill and sedate the last few days she seems to have set her mental energy toward writing.

Today Abigail decided to play waitress and take our breakfast orders; which she does all the time....but today she actually wrote them down! I guess 2010 will be the year of paper and pencil for Abigail! Here they are (with some translating if needed)
