Late Summer Fun With Abster!

Terrible 3's

Ok so we're calling it the terrible 3's. Abs is out of control. One minute she can be a cute as a pea in a pod but then in another second....her teeth come out and it's like she growls.

I'll give you an example let's start with the cutie stuff..the other night she had a belly ache and she says to me, "My belly isn't happy." Now how cute is that. Then about 2 hours later I tell her we don't have a lid for her sippy cup they were all getting washed...she flipped out..ran into the living room screaming and yelling Yes Yes Yes, I want my lid and then she growled??!!!! What does that mean?

She's definetely strong willed and has a mind of her own. When she's with people of any age, her friends or older people, she shows compassion and I love love love that.

Things that Abby loves now: apples, cream cheese (right out of the container), Dragon Tales (PBS), riding her bike and she asks us to tickle the inside of her hand softly (little weird I know) but adorable.!

Last chance for these Pandora Charms...3 more will go up next week! I hope it's as fun for you as it was for Abby and I to pick them out. I believe the key to the heart charm is in the lead for this month! Vote for your choice to the right!

Abby Cam: Riding A Bike

Haircolring and the Boardwalk

Tonight I said to Abby, "I'm going to color my hair." I wondered where she ran off to. She went to get her marker box and said, "I'm here to color your hair." What comes out of her mouth is amazing and FUNNY!

Let's make a fabulous Pandora Charm Bracelet...look over to the right for three more charms to choose from to go on the charm bracelet. Corinne Jewelers in Toms River is going to give us a matching Pandora Charm Bracelet. It's a lot of fun to go into the jewelery store and know you're not going to spend that much for a charm that means so much. It's something you can do with your Mom, your Daughter, maybe your Grandmom! That's what Abs and I did one day. We went to Corinnes and picked out the charms together. The key to my heart charm is winning this month...love love love that one!

Have fun with it and then we're going to ask to see if you remember all the winning charms from each month (check the Mommy Blogs from the first Monday of the month for the past winning charms) and You Could WIN a matching Pandora Charm Bracelet along with me..We'll have the same one! I'm so excited! Just remember to keep track the winning charms of each month!

Finger and Toe Puppets!

Spicy Abby

Happy Tuesday Night Bloggers! Just got done with giving Abs a bath...here's the thing. Daddy is the great bath giver and all of sudden Abby says, "Daddy is a boy and Mommy you're a girl..you can give me a bath because you're a girl." Everyday is a new adventure in our life with Abs being spicey. Never a dull spicy moment. SPICEY being the word of the blog today!






We had a great cousins weekend. We spent time with my Brother's kids. Abby loves all of her cousins and it's funny to watch her play with them. Even so young they can tell they're family and the love for family starts so early.

And we went to the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Pennsylvania. All kinds of animals and a petting zoo and Abby met a knew friend she liked to call Sparkle ( a kangaroo). It was a great time although trying to keep Abby's hands out of the petting zoo's animals' mouths..well that was tough!

Ok let's get to the new charms for the Pandora Charm Bracelet. Augusts charms (pictured to the right) are all about love The I Love You charm or I heard you charm means alot to me because these were picked out with me and Abs at Corinne Jewelers and nothing says it better. How about that cute little charm with a key to Mommy's heart--that's a winner and Abby chose the big S--not for Sue...not for Smile.... not for spicy--BUT for snake! Gotta love my tom-boy.
