Ginny, after what apparently was a bad night. Lay off the blueberries- they make for scary diapers.

Abby found these teeth from last Halloween... a dentist handed them out instead of candy. It made for great entertainment for the whole family for a good ten minutes or so. She DOES love to brush her teeth- these might make that a little more difficult.

This is my cute little Ginny. She is growing so fast! She and Abby can share clothes in the summer time when we don't have to mess with pant length. They are only 1 shoe size apart so I suppose they could wear the same shoes as well. I'm not going to do that to my baby though... she already has a funny little walk I don't want to make her more accident prone than she already is.

As promised these are some pictures of our front flower beds. Yes, sadly this constitutes something important enough to post in my life. Anyway, this took us a day and a half of blood (mostly Brian's since I made him use the wooden shovel and I got the new one) sweat and tears. We still have to put down the wood chips but we're going to wait a little while... they're still growing. We rewarded our selves on day 2 with a pizza from Papa John's. This was mostly for my benefit as my will to cook had been sucked dry.

I am SO tired. Is anyone with me on this? Last week we were going through the house collecting STUFF that we don't want anymore and held a yard sale on Saturday. Yard Sale part 2 planned for this Saturday. (there was STUFF we hadn't got to)
This week I painted the garage. It looks so much better. We painted the house at the end of last summer and were planning to do the garage so Brian had emptied the paint sprayer in splotches on the garage. It got cold too fast and despite our good intentions we had a patchwork garage all winter.
Next project: flower beds. Began this morning and it is either a lot of work or I am a bigger wuss than I thought. The entire front is full of pebble-sized bulbs. Any advice? Okay- enough complaining for now.

This is Abby at her gymnastics class (Thank you Captain Obvious). She has a lot of fun and especially enjoys looking like Princess Leia. Unfortunately she is already showing signs of ADD. Her teacher will be calling her name repeatedly while the other children sit obediently on their floor mats and Abby continues to run the obstacle course.

Abby LOVES to swim. She has taken swimming lessons and she advanced to the point that she was half the size of the other kids in her class and they were borrowing her to teach the kids her size (and some bigger) to not be afraid to put their heads under water. The teacher said most kids don't lose that fear until at last 4 or 5. She swims from end to end popping up for air once in a while. This caused her eyes to be very red at the end of the day so I decided to invest in some goggles. They were a hit to say the least.

For those of you who are checking this out since I sent the invites I apologize. I am still not too sure about all of the ins and outs of this but I promise I will get better. Liz- you'll have to help me out.

Yesterday we put Ginny's big girl bed together which is the top of Abby's bunk bed sitting on the floor. Ginny caused us to make the decision to move her to the big girl bed by standing at the door when I came to get her up (scary!) I have no idea how she got out of the crib without injury.
We had both mattresses on Abby's bed so once Ginny's bed was put together Abby's bed looked significantly shorter. When we told Abby that it was bed time she informed us that she could not sleep in it because it was "melting". Ahhh, the way her funny little mind works. Pictures of Ginny's room to follow.

First attempt at publishing a photo (bear with me). We went bowling for the first time with the girls and apparently Ginny's new favorite thing is to tickle Abby- and vice-versa.

Okay, here goes... I'm going to try out this blogging thing! Hopefully it won't be too hard to figure out.
