"Yay, Creamy!"

Last weekend, GiGi came to keep the girls while Brent and I went to the Arkansas/A&M game. Friday night we went to Town Square and had Abby's favorite, "creamy."

"I'm going to see how far I can stick out my bottom lip."
Open Wide!

Abby checks out the fountain.

When a two year old investigates, they must touch.
Taking a stroll around the square. The weather was so nice.

Room for One More?

Some of you might have just gotten excited thinking we might be having another baby to put in this stroller. Not going to happen. I think our hands are full with these two. I was referring to all of Abby's people. Every morning when we go on our walk, she tries to see how many people she can bring along. I was having a weak moment this day and she got away with bringing three. Her characters, animals and babies are becoming more precious to her every day and they go many places with us. You should see her little bed at night! She is hilarious arranging them all. She barely fits in the bed! Caroline-"Oh brother! If she brings any more of these funny looking people, where am I going to sit?"

Picking Out Pansies

We went to The Plant Shed on Sunday and picked out pansies. Abby thought this was so much fun. "Where have they taken me now?"

Abby has a type A personality. She likes everything sorted and arranged a certain way. Here she is organizing the flowers.

She especially liked being pushed around on the big cart.

Abby shows Caroline her flower.


Oktoberfest

Nonnie and I took the girls to Oktoberfest in Southlake Town Square this weekend. We dressed them up in some of their Halloween outfits for the occasion. They definitely turned heads in their little tutus.Never a dull moment. Abby jumps up to check out something and Caroline is excited by the birds in the trees.

Two Big Grins




My precious little pumpkin was all smiles.

Abby eats her "cheese"(grilled cheese) at Five Guys.


Nonnie and Abby watch the weiner dog races.Abby meets one of the weiner dogs. There were hundreds of them and many were dressed up in costumes. Hilarious!
Abby decides to wear her witch hat. To our surprise, she rode around with it on for quite a while.

Giggles and Grins

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Last week Abby went on her first trip to the zoo. We pretend to be animals a lot at home and Abby has all their sounds down so it was fun to see her reaction to the real things. Abby loves to take a spin on any ride she spots and she knows who to ask. GiGi and PawPaw can't say no. I thought monkeys or elephants would be her favorite, but any kind of deer won the prize. While checking out the african animals, all we heard was "deer, deer."Abby was speechless looking at most of the animals. She soaked it all in. You could see the wheels turning in that little head of hers.
I was actually in some pictures this time. I am usually snapping the pics, but GiGi took a turn and got me with the girls this time.

Caroline was a happy camper! She is content everywhere we drag her.

"Look! A Giraffe." Abby pointed to every new animal she saw.





Eyes as big as saucers.

Caroline-"Could you scoot a little closer please?"

"That's more like it."
"A little closer . . ."
