*But who knew after a few years and few kids later all that spinning would make ya sick now...whew!



















The swings was one of her favorites...we did this one a few times. oy vey!






Abbey was not too happy about having to sit and watch all the fun. Believe me...can't with til she's 42"! Grow Grow Grow Grow!!!

Bella took this picture of the ferris wheel...pretty good shot!

And, uh, I'll let you take one guess at what has happened in this picture???

Where oh where oh where is Abbey?

So, one might wonder...what do we do without Bella at home now!? Well, Abbey has been coming in and takes off for her bedroom to play with her toys...by HERSELF! The other day I was finishing off the dishes and could hear her singing softly in her room, quite cherub like I might add. And so I went to investigate and listen without being seen. Well I got to her room and didn't see her in it, but could hear her. As she heard me make a noise, so began our new game...where oh where oh where is Abbey.

This first photo demonstrates how sufficiently she can now open her closet doors and hide inside. Somehow she gets it shut all the way without pinching those little hands.




And then she throws the door open, giggles and says Boo! And then we repeat of course!

After a few rounds of that...it's time for a snack and a break for one of her favorite shows...the Backyardigans.

1st day of Kindergraten

It's official, we are the proud parents of a Kindergartner! Jorge stayed home the extra day so we could see her through her first day. The night before she picked out her clothes to wear..note the purse as well.

She was pretty excited to get in there and check everything out...Abbey made herself at home as well. Of course she came home and we asked...did you have snack, go outside, color, listen to a story, learn the new rules, etc etc etc. All of which she said no to. So I then asked...basically, you didn't do anything at your new school today huh? Nope! I actually had to find out at the bus stop this morning from another mom all the fun things they did! Go figure!

She rode the bus her 2nd day of school. On the way to the bus stop I told her I wanted to take a picture of her getting on the bus and she said ok...then said, uh, no, maybe not. What!? Deny your mother a photographic moment! No way! Told her I was going to anyways! So this look is the "if you must humiliate me in front of ALL these people" look. Oy Vey...I am becoming my mother! (she was a picture freak!)

Also on the way home from her 1st day of school we stopped for cider and donuts...a fun new tradition perhaps!

All in all, so far so good! And so begins a new journey in the Flores family!
