Abegail Turns 9

Abegail had a nice birthday last Saturday. She had a few friends sleep over. The first picture is of the next morning with pancakes. The kids had fun playing make-up and games and of course eating cake with twinkies on top. Hard to believe she's already 9!
E-man's First Basketball Game
Emmanuel is playing basketball this session at the Y. We thought we'd try something new. He really loved it. Basketball seems to be a much harder game for five-year-olds than soccer. The rules are little lax, they don't call traveling, in fact I think its encouraged. I think the ball wouldn't move if they didn't travel! Emmanuel scored two baskets and is excited for the next game.
Annie's Field Trip
Annie's preschool class went to the Bell Museum Wednesday. That is a museum where they can learn about natural history and animals. The guide was great taking them through how animals hunt for their dinners and protect themselves. They even got to pet a snake and then they got to look around at some of the "stuffed" animals there.
Sleeping like swans
Quotes from Annie: (out of earshot of Abegail)
A: Mommy we both have peach skin and blonde hair. We are just like twins, except we don't wear the same clothes and twins wear the same clothes.
Quotes from Annie:
A: Mommy, how did you get so smart?
M: I will remind you that you said that someday.
Quotes from Annie & Abegail:
Annie: You're the best Daddy in the whole wide world!
Abegail: And your the best Daddy in all of the Americas!

She was SUPER curious about the tooth fairy all day. Question after question..."Daddy, what does the tooth fairy look like? What will happen if I wake up while she's there?" Then after about the 15th question, I realized it was probably a bad idea to even mention the tooth fairy. By 8:30 last night, EVERY child was scared to go to bed because they were terrified of the tooth fairy creeping into their room while they were sleeping!! Abegail put the tooth under her pillow and then refused to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the floor...and then so did the other two. An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived. Oh well, Annie was picking her nose anyway. Abegail got onto the bus like a real pro!! She was soooo excited! As you can see...Annie and E-Man were skeptical. Frankly, E-Man was quite concerned.
