Friday

Annabelle & I went to Learning Express this morning for story time. Learning Express is a really cool toy store here in McAllen, they have story time on Fridays & other special events throughout the month. There weren't very many kids there but we had a good time & got to make a cool sunflower on a popsicle stick. I thought Annabelle might want me to buy her a bunch of toys in the store but she was too excited about all the toys they had out to play with & the kids playing that I don't even think she noticed it was a store!

It's been raining on and off here for quite a few days now, we haven't been able to get outside much. We finally went out tonight to play with a giant beach ball in the driveway, the neighbor's two little kids came over to play with Annabelle & they had a great time...we had to drag them inside because it was getting dark outside. It's getting darker earlier & earlier...I'm wondering when the time will change? It must be coming soon?

I'm working on Annabelle's (& Justin's) Halloween costumes. I know it's a little early but I hate waiting until the last minute. I wonder if the kids here trick or treat as much as they did in OKC? Guess I'll have to ask around, I'm sure they do!

Justin & I have plans to prime the walls in Annabelle's room this weekend. Hopefully we will have it painted within the next couple weeks too. I'll post pics of our progress.
