New Photos on Walmart.com

Abby helped me upload the rest of the photos from March and the ones from April to our Walmart.com photo sharing site. You can get the link on the right hand side of the page to view and order them.

We had a great time yesterday playing with lots of Abby's friends and enjoying a backyard barbecue. Abby played so hard that she ended up climbing onto my lap around 6:30 and falling asleep within about 30 seconds. So I spent about 30 minutes of the party with two small girls sleeping on my lap - adorable, but awkward. I think my arm fell asleep within about 3 minutes.

Today Steve (and me too sometimes) is working on putting together Abby and Olivia's swing set. So far we have the base for the fort and the slide put together. I think Steve is out working on the platform for the slide right now, so maybe by the end of the evening we will have the slide ready to ride on. We'll have to see. The weather is cooperating and so are the little people - for now.

Swinging Good Time

Here's the little swinger in her newly fixed swing. She hardly fits into it anymore. Abby screamed herself to sleep last night, but she's happy this morning so all is good.

We have some cooking to do tonight so we can go to our small group bible study armed with yummy desert for the potluck. We are thinking about chocolate cake.

We have to do a lot of laundry today - it has been over a week since the last giant laundry day. We have lots of folding and sorting and putting away. Lots to do. I better get to it!

A Much Needed Nap

I finally got Abby down for her first nap of the day about 2:30. She had been awake since 8:30 this morning. It was not a good start to our day. I hope she sleeps another couple hours so we don't have crab for dinner. I am planning on steak, but no one in this family enjoys a surf and turf dinner.

As a reward for getting her to sleep I got to finally start the dishes and the laundry that I had planned to do this morning. Ugh. I hate housework. I don't get paid enough to do all this. Tonight we are going to try to seal more windows - we have 3 of the 17 downstairs windows sealed and we still have 10 windows upstairs after that. That's a lot of windows seeping cold air into this old and relatively uninsulated home. Brr...

There are cute pictures of Abby in her baby swing, which we just got fixed after a wire falling loose in the move (3 months ago). The pictures are still on my camera, so I'll have to post them later tonight or tomorrow. You can just imagine loads of Abigail cuteness in a swing with a big smile and a warm sweater.
