self portraits
Give a 5 year old a camera and she will take 10,000 totally goofy self-portraits and then land on a few genuinely sweet (and some still a little silly) ones.

abby is 5!
Day started with a new birthday puzzle (thanks G&G) after breakfast.
We got the party room set up.
The moon bounce arrived!
We bounced....
... and rode on the swings ...
... and made paper bag kites ...
... and ran around with our kites ...
... and bounced some more!
The three birthday kids ...
Nate really got into the moon bounce.
Flower pot birthday cakes were mommy's fun project.
Kids liked to eat the "dirt" and (gummy) worms!
Happy birthday Abigail! More fun to come when A&N wake up from their naps ... moon bouncing wears a person out!

what's abby up to?
In case anyone was wondering what Abby is up to these days ... she's been very busy writing and drawing. Please don't offer to spell words anymore. She prefers HER spelling. A few examples:
"Bees can fly" (and something else in the lower left hand corner I can't remember what it says)
"Bees can fly" (and something else in the lower left hand corner I can't remember what it says)
"This is a fish"
"Butterfly"
She's got first and middle name down. Spelling of last name proves to be a bit more challenging. Butterflies she did draw all by herself!
"Brontosaurus dinosaur"
"Ladybugs buzz and fly and have legs"
"A poisonous cricket" (and below, another attempt at last name spelling)
At Nate's request ... a "dump truck"
Most of the words to the book "I love trucks".

par-tay
When you are freshly four and suddenly find yourself the center of attention during your birthday party and everyone is singing to you and waiting for you to blow out the candles sometimes you just have to focus on your coloring.
You know, really really concentrate...
Happy Birthday Abby! What a fun zoo celebration we had on Sunday!
After looking at this photo several times I just noticed that Nate is strapped to my back! Hi Nate! Thanks for coming to Abby's birthday party!
When a whole bunch of 4 year old pals come to your party, they bring their parents and some siblings along too..... estimates come in at about 40 people total at the zoo to celebrate Abby's big day. Wooo hooooooo! Let's all bounce around on the pizza playground after we eat our birthday cake!
Abby was sure about one thing on her bday party day: she would wear her purple princess dress over her regular clothes.
This was slightly out of character for Abby who is usually not into all-things-princess. But it did lend a festive air to the occasion. And one family of Japanese tourists did ask if they could take her picture (um..no). Then they asked if they could feed the animals at the kids farm (um, no again!).
Abby & Sofia scoot around on some mushroom slices while Emma conquers Mt Olive.
Hey...was there a princess in that olive?
Nate found a new favorite activity during party cleanup time... pushing a plastic chair around the patio....makes a really loud scrapy sound that Nate just loved!

abby is 4!
Happy Birthday Abigail! The day started bright and early.... Here's Abby opening presents in the dark at 6:30 am while eating oatmeal with mommy and papa! Natester, as usual, slept in. Check out that plush flowery piggy bank!
Four is looking good!
At four Abigail has a funny sense of humor and gets the "gigs" a lot. Potty humor features prominently. (And we were wondering why "toot" is one of Nate's few words...hmmmm.)
So much fun to open cards from friends and family far away!
After a big day of playing, we get down to serious birthday business and dish up the cake.
Sugar Abbs.
The sillies strike.
Add cake to the (short) list of foods that Nate enjoys!
Post-cake stroll.
Spring has sprung! A record breaking warm week here has made the blossoms pop. Different weather than it was four years ago today!
