A New Form of Art
Last night, I went to the store and the girls stayed home with Shane. I was gone about 40 minutes. Here is what the girls accomplished in that time (this is not including pulling out every toy they own!). And, in case you are wondering, I did not get mad. I took pictures. Things like this (hopefully!) only happen every once in awhile. The girls were so proud of themselves. I have to say, I was speechless for a few minutes. I think that spoke volumes to Abby Grace, because she looked at me and said, "Mommy, we weren't supposed to put stickers on the wall, were we?" I told her that, no we only put stickers on paper, but that she wasn't in trouble this time. As it turned out, the hallway wasn't the only place the Sticker Bandits hit. My dining room table, chairs, hutch, desk, and bedroom wall were hit. Just this morning, I found a sticker on a flip-flop I left in my bathroom.

Creating Christmas Gifts...
We have been working on Christmas gifts for the girls' teachers. Abby Grace gave Mrs. Susan (Choate) and Mrs. Kim (Chavarria) their gifts last night at Children's Choir. Each teacher received a custom-made potholder, hand-painted suncatcher, and a handwritten card thanking them for teaching about Jesus. Their Sunday school teachers will receive their gifts on Sunday. Reese wasn't really in the mood to paint when I took these pictures, but she did contribute!

Abby can write her name!
Well, it has been awhile since I've blogged. I miss it! It has actually been awhile since I've been able to type with both hands (in case you don't get it, Meleah is sleeping on the floor next to me instead of in my arms!). Anyway, the main reason for this blog is to show all of you Abby's new ability... well, it was new in September. She's an old hand at it, now! She can write her name very well. She can also write the names, "Tabby," (as in, Aunt Tabby), and "Daddy." She has mastered the capital 'A', capital 'T', and the lowercase letters 'b', 'd', and 'y'. I am really proud of her.
