The secret is out!

I have been wondering when the day would come that I would have to start sharing my cake, brownie, cookie, etc. batter. It has been wonderful having the whole bowl to myself and my children having no interest at all at the sweetness that lies within that mixing bowl. Alas, the day has come.........Abigail has discovered my secret. I was in the living room when I heard..."Mmmm, this is good". "I think I like this". Imagine my surprise, dismay, and the gigantic smile that spread across my face when I walked in and found my Abigail diving into the left over batter bowl.
By the time I got there, Abbi had already had a couple of tastes. She was really starting to go for it and proceeded to tell me how good the batter really was.
I was laughing so hard at what Abigail was saying that I had to write her exact quotes down so I would not forget them. Among them are:

"I think I like this"

"I like this chocolate"
-scoop, lick-

"It's not even spicy"

"I like the way this chocolate makes me feel"
-scoop, lick-

"Chocolate makes me feel better"
(she is definitely a girl. :) )
Abbi got her fill of the bowl and had a great time digging in. I had a great time watching, laughing, and taking pics. I don't know if I will be that excited about it the next time I have to share, but I guess that is what being a big kid is all about...sharing. =)
Chocolate Cuteness!!!

It's like Christmas at Easter!

Abigail LOVES to go down to her cousins house! It is like Christmas every time we get to go. "Can I play with Jojo? I want to see Chlo, Chlo!" These are frequent sayings that I hear. We were blessed with the opportunity to go down to my sister's for Easter and Abigail (and the rest of us) had a wonderful time.
We had a big Easter egg hunt around the house. Everyone got into it......adults videoing and taking pictures, kiddos running everywhere.
Picture of the madness

Aww, the loot! The girls collected lots of eggs and were proud of their treasure.

The girls also LOVE bath time. We had a great time playing with letters and "swimming". Every time Jojo would tell Abbi a letter she would say "Good job, Jo"
One of the highlights was the partially naked ukelele band. Jo and Abbi were singing, dancing, and strumming their own greatest hits. It was priceless! Don't worry, we got it on video for future blackmail. =)
The next American Idols! Think they'll take a duo?

We had so much fun hangin' with the family! We hope you had a wonderful Easter as well!
