Birthday Party and Pumpkin Patch

We had a busy and fun weekend. On Saturday, Aubrey attended the birthday party of her friend, Ashley. It was at a big bouncy place with lots of spacewalks to jump and climb and slide in.

On Sunday, we made a trip to the Pumpkin Patch where we picked up a pumpkin, rode the train, and had a snowball. (It definitely doesn't feel like fall here, though!) Aubrey even got to take a picture with a giant spider!

The weekend was also exciting because we finally told Aubrey that she's going to be a big sister. She was excited for our news and can't wait for her baby brother, Cooper, to arrive, so she can teach him how to do all sorts of things. She even told me she would help change his diapers! (And as a side note, Aubrey is officially out of diapers! Just in time, right?! She's been potty trained and wearing underwear during the day since February, but still wore a diaper a night. Lately, we've been having more and more dry diapers in the morning and last week she went the whole week with dry diapers in the morning. So starting Sunday night, we let her wear her underwear to bed, and we've had two successful nights!)

Happy Feet!

Aubrey's school offers dance classes, and she is finally old enough to join! I remember picking her up from school on the afternoons the dance class was going on when she was a little younger, and she would always want to stop and watch. It's convenient because it's during her school day, so we are not trying to attend a class on the weekend or in the evenings, and she's so young, this is just a fun introduction and gives her a break from her school day once a week. Dance class is on Wednesdays, which is also pizza day, so Wednesday is "A great day!" as Aubrey says.

She gets to take ballet and tap. So, a few weeks ago I took her to the store to buy her shoes. She tried on the ballet shoes, which she was excited to wear because June from the Little Einsteins is a ballet dancer. Then she told me she did not want the tap shoes when she tried them on. I told her to wait until she got home and could try them out to see because she just might like them. She definitely likes them!

Today was her 3rd dance class. I had a meeting downtown for work, which is very unusual for me since my office is now close to home, and downtown is pretty far from my office. Once the meeting was over, my boss said I could head home for the day instead of returning to my office. I headed straight to pick up Aubrey and got to her school right after her dance class had started! I was so excited that I was able to see her class. I think she's got some moves!

I have a few more videos which I'll try to post later this week.

Aubrey and Mommy's Day

Matt went to Dallas for the day for his fantasy football draft, so Aubrey and I planned a fun-filled day together. It started off not so fun because I had to go to work to do some stuff that needed to be done to our databases when no one else was working in them. Aubrey was excited to visit my office again. She colored with my pens and then watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Thank goodness for portable DVD players!

Then we went and had lunch together. I told Aubrey we could sit outside at lunch because it felt nice outside when we got to the office, but when we left at lunchtime, it was much warmer outside. I told her as we were walking to the restaurant that it was pretty hot and we should eat inside. Her response was "It will feel better over there under the shade", and she was right! She's a pretty smart kid.

Then we went home for nap time. After nap time, we headed to the mall for some shoe shopping. She needed new shoes for school. We were able to find a pair for school and a pair for fun. That's what happens when we go the mall without Daddy!
