On a lighter note, Abby is celebrating her 1/2 birthday today at school (she is officially 5 1/2 today). She is bringing in cupcakes and a couple of books for the classroom (they ask that you don't do treats, and instead donate a book or two to the room; however, according to Abby and her teacher, no one is listening to the no treats recommendation, hence the sugar-filled cupcakes I am sending to her classroom :-) She is super excited about the celebration and can't wait to get to school this morning. (picture was taken after school, and after she had a cupcake....you can see the pint frosting still on her face!)Abby also seems to have a "boyfriend" in her class. She has mentioned to me before that she likes this little boy Ryan, and a month or so ago confessed to me that she was in love with him (!). She promised me not to tell Mike, which I promptly did after she went to bed. He about fainted! The next night, she confessed to him, and he held his cool pretty well while she was explaining why she loved him. Yesterday she came to me with the boyfriend word. They apparently have bonded even more the last couple of days b/c he also is a Narnia fanatic. She wants to have him over for a playdate so they can watch Narnia together :-) He is a sweet kid. Now I am just trying to figure out how to ask his mom if he can come over to play with Abby!

Accident Prone or an Athlete?
I used to think Griff would be the reason for our first emergency room visit, however both Mike and I have changed our minds and are convinced it will be Hannah. This kid goes from being strangely athletic at the age of 2 (extreme sense of balance; hops and runs much better than Griff and Abby at her age; throws like nobody's business; climbs like a mountain climber; and can pin Abby and Griff in a pretty impressive wrestling move!) to a complete klutz within seconds. Within the last week, she has leaned back on her dinner chair, falling to the floor backwards, narrowly missing hitting her head on the corner behind her; she burned her finger on a casserole dish I had just taken out of a 450 degree oven; and Monday she tripped over her own feet while running out of the gym, giving herself a pretty good scrape on her nose and forehead. She looks like she was in a fight. And we shouldn't forget the many times she falls up and down the stairs b/c she is trying to beat Griffin in whatever race they have against each other. The first picture is Monday night, and the second picture is from this morning (Wed). It's starting to heal, but still looks not so nice.
