I got up today and we girls - Deanna, Tori, and I - decided to dress our dog Abby up. It was actually pretty cute and funny. We had to change our selection once because Abby was just a little bit bigger than we had anticipated. Even with a larger dress we still couldn't get it buttoned up all the way. LOL!
She looked so cute and she was a really good sport about it - for a while at least. Then after a while, she started chewing it and ended up tearing the sleeve before I could get it off of her! :) It's a good thing that it wasn't one of Tori's really nice dresses. LOL!
Anyway, we had a pretty good day yesterday - you girls seemed to enjoy yourselves a lot. Although what kid doesn't love going to Chuck E. Cheese to play all those games? LOL! You girls practically screamed when Daddy told you we were going to Chuck E. Cheese. Tori ended up getting nothing but candy as her prizes - not a real surprise there; and Deanna was a bit more long term minded on hers. She decided on a soccer bracelet and a twisty straw. Of course she also got some candy too. Then it was off to the Chinese buffet. Yum. Tori ate nothing but mussels. I have never seen any kid so obsessed with those things! :) She was really enjoying them. The interesting part of the day was when I got the nerve to try out a California roll - which was not bad, but it didn't have much of a taste to it. Which makes me wonder if it was a true California roll. Who knows? Anyway, the point is that I don't usually like to try things like that. So go me! LOL!
It really was a great family day - we even all took a walk together. Even Abby. It was a bit tough, because Abby wanted to go in a different direction that we were going the whole time. It was kind of funny too because Tori was dragging her feet (she's not all that fond of walking a lot) and fussing because she said she was tired. How funny that she can run around the yard all day and jump on the trampoline but walking kills her. She was such a hoot! We made a stop halfway through the walk and just lounged on the grass enjoying the breeze. It was the perfect day for our walk. It was really nice to spend so much of the day just hanging out together. It seems like we never have the opportunity to do that. It's sad that much of our lives is so busy. I'm so glad we were able to have such a great day - I only hate it that Summer wasn't here to enjoy it with us. I guess we'll just have to have another one like it when she's here. : )

(great song that shows what life is like when you don't make time to spend with your family)
