Weekend Adventure with Abby The Wolverine

Abby the Wolverine is the class pet at Emmy's preschool.  Each student gets to take turns bringing Abby home on the weekends.  Last weekend was Emmy's chance to bring Abby home. She was really excited that she got to bring Abby home to meet the family and our cat Max.  Erin & Emmy had so much fun playing with Abby.

On Friday after school, we got to show Abby where mommy works and then went home to eat chicken strips.  Abby even went on a wild hunt through the Maple Grove Maze at the Community Center that evening. 

On Saturday, we got up early so that we could introduce Abby to the best strawberry pancakes in town at the Original Pancake House!!  Abby then joined us at our cousin Colten's birthday party where we went up and down the slides and jumped in a really big jumpy house.  On the way home, Abby rode between Emmy & Erin in the car and sat quietly in her kennel.  That night we watched Caillou, ate some popcorn, and read a Curious George book before bed.

On Sunday, Emmy & Erin showed Abby how much fun it is to have a princess tea party.  They got to dress up in princess clothes and Abby even got to wear a crown!

Abby also got to visit some of her friends at the pet store. 
To wrap up our fun-filled weekend, we had a play date with our neighbors Ann & Irene ~ They loved hearing all about our adventures with Abby!

When Emmy brought Abby back to school on Monday, she got to share her story about what she did with Abby over the weekend.  She then was able to pick the next classmate who would get to spend their next adventure with Abby.  Emmy picked her friend Lameese.

Erin's Big Girl Bed

We are long overdue on making Erin's crib into a big girl bed for her.  We had good intentions about nine months ago. Each passing week just seemed to get busier and busier.  If I had known it would have been so easy, I would have done it a lot sooner.  I thought that we needed an expensive conversion kit which had to be specially ordered.  Turns out all we needed to do was remove a few screws and voila...a daybed.  We didn't get the guard rail yet.  I'm hoping she can get by without it. 
Erin is so excited about her new "Big Girl Bed."  She was jumping up and down and telling Emmy all about her new bed! 
The girls wanted to sleep together Saturday night, but that didn't work out so well.  All they wanted to do was play & giggle.  And then one of them started crying because the other one kicked and stole the covers.
