abbie's first day of first grade

abbie was so excited to start school again this year- she had a calendar and marked each day with a big X on her countdown to the big day.
this year she decided to wear a skort instead of her jumper

molly wished she could go to school with abbie

and of course sophie had to get in on the action too...

abbie came home smiling and has been smiling eveyr day since- she just loves school!

dinosaur on my finger

sophie kept putting this dinosaur on her finger and thought it was so great that it just hung on by itself

okay now she wants it off- check out this expression!

okay she really wants it off now!

last days of summer

and this is how we spent our last day of abbie's summer vacation- not too silly!

love

molly is sure going to miss abbie when she is in school!

can you tell they're sisters???

fairy princess bed

abbie got a fairy princess canopy for her bed
her sisters love it too- here they are waking abbie up her first morning in the new setup

you can see that abbie really isn't awake yet- but her sisters sure are!

pretty braids

abbie wanted french braids one day- she has such pretty hair!

and then she wanted me to take a picture of her whole outfit...doesn't she look great?

helicopter

abbie proudly shows her helicopter drawing in the chalk book that aunt arline sent from the eric carle museum

i'm not really sure how she even knew how to draw a helicopter...but it came out great!
