Abbi Update - A "Kid on the Go" Cabbage Patch Adventure

 Open Cabbage had a "Kid-on-the-Go" activity.  Whoever wanted to participate would sign up, then take turns shipping the selected doll to the next person.  Whoever had the doll would keep it for a week, post photos of their adventure, and then add a souvenir to the box.  At the end of the adventure, a name would be drawn to keep the doll and all of the contents in the box.  It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately some items came up missing along the way, so they stopped doing it.  I participated a couple times.  Here are some of Abbi's adventures while she was with me...

My kids have been loving Abbi (and trying to scheme in keeping her--Joy said, "Maybe if we put her in mud, then they won't want her back and we can keep her!" Even my husband chimed in, "Send one of the big softies, maybe they won't notice." LOL. I just keep telling them that we have a chance of winning her if our name is drawn. So then my husband said, "Put all of our names in, then we'll have a better chance." My crazy family!

We didn't do much for New Years since my husband had to work. We went outside and even though the sun was shining, it was so cold!!! Abbi wanted to come in. She was borrowing Paul’s Boise Broncos jacket to keep her warm. She came to church with us and loved worship. She wanted to go to the nursery with Susan and Paul, but I wanted to keep an eye on her. I know how much she can get into and I didn’t think the nursery teachers could keep up with her :)

Abbi enjoyed her company and felt right at home with the girls. On the left is Susan’s “Spaghetti Squash” (she named her herself), then Yasmine, and on the right is Diane. They enjoyed their new friend.
