May Flower

i need to blog about our get away weekend, but i took these pictures tonight and thought i would post them. libby is getting so big and some times i look at her and don't recognize her.

with the revitalization of broadway in downtown columbus, there are many statues lining the streets and abby has fallen in love with one in particular called 'May Flower'. She plays on it every night after ballet and tonight we stood libby up so she could meet May.
(the photo session ended when the hair pulling began...and speaking of hair, libby is working up a serious faux hawk!!!)

first day...what a difference a year makes!`

Today was abby's first day at her new school. she got herself dressed and had no problem getting out of the car and walking in to her new class. She did so well and had a great time. Libby was so proud of abby that she wanted to go to target and get abby some princess glass slippers which we gave to abby when she got in the car after school.

after school we went to chick fil a with B&A - B is in her class and his big sister A is abby's princess friend. I am so proud of what an amazing preschooler abby is turning in to. Three definitely agrees with her!

For comparison...here's last year's first day picture. she's smiling now, but i had to shake her off my leg to get her to stay in the class. it was traumatic for both of us!

for all the knee drivers of the world...

as i was driving home today i stopped at a red light. i noticed the lady in front of me was *flat ironing* her hair! she continued to flat iron - using both hands - (because of course it would be hard to flat iron one handed) as we drove through the next few lights. a few minutes later the lady got over in to the right lane to get on the highway and i noticed....she was also smoking a cigarette! how's that for multitasking!!??!!
