Barks and Balls and Books

I am doing an experiment today to see how many books I actually end up reading in a day (and how many times I read the same book). So far we are in the 20's, and I've been busy so I haven't read every book that's been thrust upon me. I hope Abby always enjoys reading as much as I do.

Now that our backyard is almost snow free we've cleaned it up and started playing outside whenever we can. Abby and Maize have a lot of fun outside. Maize loves taking naps in the sun and Abby enjoys walking up and down on the cement and petting her poochie. Last night Abby and I went to K-Mart and picked out some outside play toys. She was most impressed with the micro sized soccer ball. We had a great time playing with it inside and it should be lots of fun outside too. We also picked out a kids golf set so that she can decide whether to follow in her daddy's club swinging steps. We'll just have to be extra careful and make sure that the clubs don't get swung at dogs.

It is rainy and cold today, so we will have to wait a day or two before we can find out how much fun our new outside toys are. Stay warm and dry :-)

OH BOY, that looks like fun to me. Thank You for reading so many books to little Abby. Readers are LEADERS!! and she will be one! Aunt Carol and Uncle Jeff read to each of the boys, even before they were born. Maybe that is why they are such good listeners today. I love you all GG
