Over the mountain and through the sleet to Nana B's we go...

Allie went to stay with her Nana B and her Poppy Saturday night. It is always so hard to let her go away from me to stay that far away. But, it is a relief to know that she is in good hands. She always has such a good time when she goes to stay with them. She also loves going to church with them on Sunday. She just loves to go to church anyway, whether it is with us or with my mom and dad. She enjoys Sunday School as well as all of the singing that goes on in church. She has gotten up in front of the church and sang previously. She loves to sing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children". Sometimes, she makes up her own words throughout the songs when she can not remember them..but hey, at least she does not stop singing! She is my sweetie!
I almost did not let Allie go to my mom and dad's yesterday. When we woke up and got ourselves ready, we walked outside to find sleet coming down like crazy! I turned to Allie and told her that I did not think that we could go just yet because I did not know what the weather was going to do. Well, she did not like that very much. She had her hopes up SO high to get to go to my mom and dad's, she was very let down. So, I said, well, we will try it. I also told her that if it was too bad we would turn around and come back home. She did not understand that it was very dangerous and what the consequences of us going out in bad weather. I tried explaining it to her the best I could without telling her we could get out in this and get ourselves killed! So, once I explained it to her she understood BUT still wanted to try it. AAHH!! So, we did. Well, obviously, we made it and I made it back home...safely!
When I met my mom at Dollar General, we decided to go in for a few minutes. Well, normally I make Allie ride in a buggy no matter where we are. Okay, so if you have ever gotten a buggy at Dollar General you know that their buggies are teeny tiny...well, Allie has outgrown them so she had to walk around the store. It was so funny to watch her because she immediately started doing some of her very own shopping. She wanted this...and this...and that...and this...and all of these things were flying right into our buggy. OMG! She and I had a talk about what she was doing and all of things that she was thinking about purchasing. Needless to say, she did not make it out of the store with all of the items that she thought she would be getting. She got an elephant that makes elephant noises, a coloring book, a pen, and some sunglasses.
Kevin and I were talking last night about how fast our sweet Allie is growing up. It is scary to know that the last four and a half years have truly flown by...I can only imagine how fast the next four and a half will fly by as well. I'm telling you...capture EVERY moment you can whether it is with a camera or in writing..don't let ANY moment go by unnoticed.

I'm telling you, it won't be long until she is begging to go to Commerce with us. We'll be the ones waiting on her to be finished at Old Navy. :) Speaking of which....when are we going?!?!?!
