Best Girls Night!

Matt is on a camp out tonight with the Young Men in our ward and so it was a girls night for Abby and I. We had such a blast. She is truly the best kid ever. We came home from dropping Matt off (well he ended up driving, so someone else brought us home) around 5 p.m. So we played for a while and then worked in one of her workbooks identifying things that are "different." Then we cut out any letter "B's" we found in a magazine and glued them on a paper. And then we went on a Blue hunt! That means we go around the house and find things that are blue. Soon it was time for dinner so we had leftover spaghetti. Abby took a quick bath and she opened up a new movie. She received this movie because she has not had any accidents in 2 1/2 days! Maybe we are almost potty trained! I'm convinced she is--at long last! She opened up "The Princess and the Frog" and we popped popcorn (at Abby's request) and cuddled up on the couch together in all of her blankets from Aunt Christie. It was such a cute movie. We then read the Book of Mormon, brushed her teeth, sang songs and said our prayers. Finally it was time to go to sleep. What a wonderful night. She is so special. Here is a picture before we watched the movie.

There are a few other pictures to share. Today Matt worked hard in the yard and made an area against the wall where we can plant flowers and such. It looks really good. His first time using mortar!
Last Saturday we invited our neighbors we hadn't gotten to know yet over for lunch. We were so glad that we did. We really like them and hope to get to know them better.
Saturday afternoon Abby and I went over to the entrance to where we live because it is covered in yellow and orange flowers. We had so much fun taking pictures! She even found a snail.
Here is a funny picture of Abby before Church on Sunday.
Tuesday--yes, gymnastics and this time I talked Abby's teacher, Teacher Sunny into taking a picture. The gym got some new rings for the young kids and Abby really liked them. Here is a picture.
Thursday I played for a voice lesson at Cal State University and Abby came with me. She was such a good girl. Sorry, no picture.
I was able to capture Abby working on the bars in gymnastics. Sorry it's not closer, but I'm not supposed to be in the class, so I had to take from a distance.
