as promised...petshop post
As I said a few weeks ago...I have a petshop post. For those of you who don't know what petshops are, they are the cutest little bobble head animals you've ever seen.
There is an episode of sex and the city in which Carrie (SJP) ponders where her money has gone. She knows she made some yet she feels she has nothing to show for it. Hmm...where could this be leading I wonder?
Over the last few months one of Abigail's favorite responses is "I guess you just don't like me" when I refuse to purchase the object of her desires at the store. To which I respond, "Abi, I guess must not like you at all, I guess nobody likes you. I guess thats why you have hundreds of $$$ of petshops at home in your room".
I thought I was exaggerating. Oops. As I was getting her room in order, I decided to do the dreaded calculations... and this my friends is my wall of parental shame. This is proof that my daughter is oh so very *liked*!
To all of you who have contributed to the addiction, we thank you! :-)
Now this is just the animals, there are also about 6 houses and an entire rubbermade container full of accessories! There are 93 pets on this shelf (this is not including the 3 I have hidden in the closet, the ones in the car or the ones Amelia has taken and hidden) and each pets costs about $3. 93 x 3 = TOO MUCH MONEY!
And there you have it hundreds of dollars of petshops.

Tear jerker!
In the best possible way! Please go check out this blog site.

I ordered their book and today it came...there are no words. Perhaps once I have had time to fully digest it, I will be able to share my thoughts but for today I am having a moment with my God and I am overwhelmed.

Words :-)
So my blogger thing is messed up and getting the words to go with the correct pictures proves to be beyond me.
The pictures below are an assortment from the past month or so.
As you can plainly see they are both growing like weeds!
Amelia has become an expert climber and cannot be left alone.
Abigail is still my little reader. SHe has exceeded her teachers expectations for the year as she is now reading 136 words per minute, which breaks down to a third grade, month 1...and that was according to the test she took half way thought first grade!
Amelia has an incredible vocabulary...her sentences consist of no less than 3 words. We had the following conversation in the car at Sonic
Mia: Mommy, you open chocolate milk?
Me: yes, Mia, I opened the milk.
Mia: you take the lid off?
Me: Yes, Amelia, I took the lid off.
Mia: You put it in my cup?
Me: Yes Amelia, I'm going to pour it in your cup.
Mia: Mommy, you put my milk my cup, good boy mommy.
I might be biased, but that seems to be alot of words for a girl who turned 2 in Dec.
Abigail just turned 7~ I lack the words to explain how I feel about that.
Her party was a great success complete with a piñata and an ice cream cake!
I have a *petshop* post, that will have to wait till next time because i am exhausted!
