Little girl fun



I headed up to Kansas City this weekend to check out Abby's new swing set. The girl is crazy! She wants to go super high. Mommy taught her underdogs, so I guess we can blame her. The funniest happening was me leaving my purse in her room. She got in trouble for something and was sent to timeout. After a while, my sister forgot about her and was stressed wondering where she was. I reminded Brenda she had sent Abby to timeout a while ago. She ran up the stairs and I heard, "Aunt Lynette, did you leave your purse in Abby's room??!!" Abby was quiet, because she had found my lip gloss and painted all of her toenails. She also unwrapped all of the gum and put it back in the box. I looked at her and said, "Abby, what has aunt Lynette told you about getting in her purse?" With a sad face she said, "No." Then, with her signature grin she said, "Sorry." My sister and I bust a gut laughing. You couldn't help but laugh. She was just so cute!

On Monday, we made a Target run and had Chick-fil-a. The only one here is on the WSU campus, so I was happy they built one four blocks from my sister's house. I'll be getting nuggets every time I visit. After chicken, we headed to a free children's farm in Olathe. Abby had been there before, but she still loved running around and feeding the goats. The girl LOVES animals.  She also loves going down slides. I tried to not act like an overprotective mother since this is first time I've taken her by myself for an adventure. She enjoyed the water area, where I had to remind her to stop splashing strangers. The only way I could get her out was by suggesting we get a treat. One bag of fruit snacks later we were headed home. After her nap in the car we played with the magic pills we got at Target. Remember those things you put in water and they turn into foam animals.....she was fascinated by them. She did all 15 of them before my sister got home from work.

Mmmmm.....yummy



Had a vanilla shake here for the first time. It gives Ritter's in Indiana a run for it's money. We don't have any Steak & Shakes here, but Freddy's burgers are pretty similar.
