Dear Abigail,
This past weekend we headed to Mimi's house for a jammed packed weekend full of fun. We picked Daddy up at work on Friday right after you got out of school and headed straight that way. Our first does of fun involved a Halloween birthday party for James Welton. It was your first time to get to wear your costume and Mommy, I mean, you, were super excited. This year for Halloween, you are a witch!!! I have to say, it's the cutest witch I've ever seen, if there is such a thing. Miss Jamie had the house in complete Halloween decor for the party and guess who was there???
You had tons of fun at the birthday party hiding under the bed, playing with Nacho, eating lots of yummy cake, but we eventually headed to Mimi's house for bed. The next morning, Mommy, Ash-ash, Mimi, Lynnie and Emily ran the Race for the Cure and we had to get up REALLY early, but it was all worth it, especially when I got to write Nona's name!
While Mommy was winning, I mean running the race, you apparently were back home having a tea party with Pic-pic. I text Daddy "what are y'all doing" and his response was "Abs is having a tea party with Pic-pic and Kate's asleep." When we got back from the race, Pic-pic was walking around with you on his shoulders. I don't think it's too crazy to say that you and Pic-pic get along just fine and dandy!
Also, upon arriving back from the race, Ash-ash and you convinced me to let you go with her to see Clara Lee at her house. I thought you needed a nap because we had a big night ahead of us, but decided to be the nice mom and let you go. For the record, I regretted this decision about 3 times later that night, but anyway...
So you went with Ash-ash and surprised Clara Lee! And apparently you gave a dog a bath, or so that's what you told me the other night when you helped me give Kate a bath. Your exact words were "Hey, we did this to a dog at Ash-ash's house yesterday!" as you were scrubbing Kate's head! I think you helped Miss Jamie give her dog a bath, but nonetheless, a dog was bathed. So that was fun. And then eventually, you did rest, not nap, but then the real fun happened!! The Wait's had their (or what Mommy thinks should become their) annual hayride!
After the hayride there was some tree climbing...
You were a wee bit scared of the fire (shocker!) so Ash-ash and Paw-paw (oh, yeah, Paw-paw and Mammaw came out for the bonfire too!) helped you out with your dogs and mallows :) After dinner and dessert, you kiddos played like there was no tomorrow, inside, outside, in the barn, in the dog house, in the playroom, in CL's room, everywhere! There were a couple times when a nap would have come in handy, or, well, when a nap might have prevented you falling to the ground crying, but overall, a great night of fun. One of my favorite moments was when you came out crying (no, not that part) and someone was saying Sammy pushed you. We got you, CL and Anna Beth together with Sammy and asked what happened and Sammy explained if very well (with the cutest country accent) "This is what happened. The girls were in her room (pointing at CL) changing their clothes and they wouldn't let me in. So I pushed the door in. And then she (pointing at you) pushed me out. So then I went in and got in a fight with them." And that was it. That was the story. At the end of it, everyone apologized and promised not to shove doors or go in while girls were changing, but man alive it was all I could do to not laugh!!
Mommy let you spend the night, which I'm just not even going to think about what time you actually fell asleep, but you did sleep late the next morning, so that's good.
The next day, we had a family baby shower lunch at the McCormick's for Katie. She's having a baby in December, a little girl, who I know will be as beautiful as her mommy AND her daddy! Anyway... We got all prettied up for the shower and Mimi grabbed a few pictures of you and Sister before we headed that way...
You two sure are beautiful...
The shower was tons of fun with Bebe, Robert Hale and even Sam and Jarrod! Bebe did a great job of taking care of Kate while Mommy chit-chatted and you did a great job of fitting right on in with those boys, jumping on backs, playing with them on the computer, eating cupcakes, you know - boy stuff :)
You had a hard time grasping the 'shower' part and asked if her baby was going to have pink chocolate on it like Clara Lee did when she was born. Yeah, I didn't know what you were talking about either. I soon learned that you looked at pictures of Clara Lee when she was first born, and saw the blood/other gross stuff, I mean saw that beautiful, miracle stuff all over her, not pink chocolate.
After the shower, we gathered our things at Mimi's and headed back to the hood. You were asleep before we could hit the interstate and because we got such a late start getting back on the road, we had to eat dinner in the car. Well, had is used loosely. Mommy said to give you both a banana till we got home, but Daddy said he was hungry and wanted the 'gas station fried catfish' ( I do not lie...) so you ate a gas station corn dog. Again, I do not lie. You thought it was the greatest thing ever. Mommy decided to give Kate the banana and ate a bowl of cereal when we got home :)
Lots of fun things, all weekend long. And lots of unhealthy things to eat, now that I write about it.... Oh well, we'll eat healthy this week, minus that whole Halloween day and all!!
Love you!!!
