Just too quiet

Erin had an Optometrist appointment so I was able to get a taste of watching both kids by my lonesome. I asked Abigail to go play in her room while I changed Eli's diaper and put him to sleep.

I could hear her ravishing her bookshelf, toys and clothes, then ....silence. This is what I found:

    PJ - when I came home from work, I was like "why is she dressed like that". Apparently, it was a 10 minute battle and Abigail won since Erin was busy getting ready for her appointment.

    Zitro it's so cute! Pretty soon she'll be concerned about how "in" her clothing are(maybe....) For now she dresses in what SHE likes! Yo hoo and a bottle of rum...:^ ) PJ

    LOL PJ.

    Thank goodness that you can't tell by looking at how I dress now but when I was Abigail's age I ran around in a diaper and my sisters cowboy boots. My granddad took a movie of me in them and all these years later my cousins put all the movies of us kids on VHS and to my surprise they had the one of me in a diaper and cowboy boots I LMBO.

    Joe it will be way to soon that she will hog the bathroom getting ready for a date and caring way to much about how she looks, so enjoy every moment. Hug and kiss her before she tells you no more dad or at least not in front of her friends.

    Joe, nice to see that you're still around!

    Oh what I wouldn't do to be that age again, running around in cowboy boots and falling asleep willynilly.

    "willynilly" ya'll use that word in Canada?

    Good to see your still around as well NIT! How is the gardening going? We went down to the Fiesta on the Concho. The Kids had a great time and the car was neat. I'll post some pics in day or so.

    EH? My friend's mom from Canada used "eh" at the end of her sentences. It was quite charming. Then again, the lady was quite charming so I might have the expression stuck that way in my mind now.

    Joe (dad),
    Since you'd been gone so long, I bet you REALLY absorbed THAT moment. How precious!

    ZJ,
    I'm good and I finally have things that are blooming!
    We didn't make it to the Fiesta this year, we took the nieces last year but they're both sick right now. I'm looking forward to your pics, I had a good time last year, it was my first small town/city/American fair.

    Carrie from Canada who says willynilly and eh?

    It is a good thing she snuck that extra nap on Friday, on Saturday we went to a festival.
    She had a busy:
    At some Mexican food
    got her face painted
    danced on a stage
    ran through a fitness obstacle course
    feed rabbits, goats, ducks and a giant dog
    rode a pony
    danced on stage
    walked around a car show
    ate grape shaved ice that turn her mouth purple

    Cute! My vet falls asleep while he's talking to you, but he's not cute at all.

    Joe, what wonderful pics and it looks like Abigail went to a car show also, lol

    PPB, your vet falls asleep? LOL

    Cute pic, Joe. I notice that you managed to get in a side trip of your own, with that car show.

    I went to Red Earth, in OKC the first weekend of the month. Enjoyed visiting the flute circle in OKC on Friday evening, and Red Earth on Saturday. Great event, and now that it is inside at the convention center, very comfortable for the first of June. (smile)

    Going to enjoy going to the OK Flute Fest in October. New event, and promises to be a great one.

    Hoping to visit flute circles in Spring and Austin, this summer.

    Already too hot for much gardening activity, so time to get out and have some fun. (smile)

    I see mom is up and running too!Bet she's glad to not be preggers in this heat! Was the tiniest tot back with the grandparents? You're little girl is doing the same thing as my Sunday school crowd. Getting older at the speed of sound! She goes back to looking "babyish" while she's asleep but when she's up and running you can really see the maturing girl in her. However,I think she might be a bit young for a muscle car yet! LOL!

    Jolana, yes my vet falls asleep in all sorts of situations. He works 18 hour days and his home number is on his card.

    Prairie, your vet really should rely on an emergency clinic. He's gonna kill himself! Poor guy!!!PJ

    PJ, (sorry Joe) the vet is in his 70s and is not going to change. My cousin, who has since passed away from leukemia, worked for him in the 70s.

    Isn't it hard to believe these lil cuties often become sullen teenagers? I have a 13yr old with a year left on him! He's all ready warming up to pouty tho. PJ
