Nice Fall Days

We have been enjoying the last few Saturdays.  The weather has been perfect to get outside and play. So thats what we have done!!!  Before long it will be SO cold we won't be able to.

The many faces of Ava :)  Enjoy.

Thanksgiving Soup day

Last Thursday was Soup day at Ava's school.  I am behind on my posting.  I took my lunch break to go over there and eat with Ava.  I am SO glad I did.  We ate yummy soup and got to see the kids dressed up in  their oh so cute shirts and things they made.  It was adorable.

Cowgirl Day

They had Cowgirl/Cowboy Day at school. My dear Friend let me borrow this outfit.  I didn't have one single thing that was Cow boyish :)
Ava's mouth is wide open because she is saying YEEHAY!!!!!

Happy Halloween

Ava had a Fall Festival at her preschool Wednesday.  So I ran over there for my lunch break.

Some of her freinds :)

Ava was hilarious this year.  When I was getting her ready she said "I am gonna have to tell all the kids, don't worry its just me, Ava!"   

Then at one door a Lady said "Why who are you?"   Ava quickly answered "I am Ava"

So cute!!!

Costume time

We made witch hat and ghost cookies for a Halloween party last Friday night.    We dressed up in costume too.  Ava was Cinderella and I was Ariel, the Little Mermaid.  Ava was going to be Dora.  I vetoed that after a trial run Thursday night with the brown hair spray paint.  :(  It was so nasty and messy.  I tested a small section of her hair. Not only did it make a nasty bathtub to clean up afterwards, it was hard to come out of her light colored hair.  So the thought of spraying her whole head flipped me out.  I talked her into being Cinderella.  We had SO much fun.  I love dressing up, and its even more fun when everyone participates.  Ava loved me dressing up as Ariel.  I even adorned my hair with a dinglehopper....aka fork.. for those of you who live under a rock and have never watched the movie :)   The church had 3 big blow up bouncy things to play on, along with tons of food, candy, and fun!!!! 

Adam is working his outage so that means LOTS of time at work :(   He wasn't able to go Friday night.  OH well so thankful he has a good job.  I never want to take it for granted.

Cinderella!!!!!!

Ariel and Cinderella

Ariel :)

After a long night.  Cinderella looks tired :)

 Saturday night we attended a Bonfire and it was COLD.  We had a blast though.  I layered Ava up and we enjoyed the chilly night.

On the Hayride!!

October stuff

October.  I love this time of year.  I love all the Fall festivals and Halloween parties!!!!!!!

Just random stuff going on.  Ava has finally determined after many changes of her mind to be Dora for Halloween.  She was going to be a witch, princess, Pirate, Butterfly, and now its Dora..   And that is sticking.    So Dora it is.  Sorry guys but I am not dressing up as Boots. :)

We are going to a Halloween party next weekend and I will dress up.  I am not sure what yet but I LOVE to dress up.  The bad thing about it is I can't be anything scary or gross because it freaks Ava out.

Ava went to the local Homecoming Parade in town.  She had so much fun.  Mainly because she got a whole bag of candy :)

I have the most imaginative kid and I love it.  The other night I was in the kitchen cutting up an apple and eating it.  She saw me and ran over to grab a piece.  As soon as she took a bite she fell out in the floor.  I look at her like What the mess?  She lays there and says "you gave me a poison apple".  LOL  Then she said "kiss me"!!  I said if I gave you the apple I am the witch so I can't kiss you.  So of course Adam had to join in the role play and come wake her up from the evil spell :)
Love that innocent imagination.  I remember being young and I could dream up anything.  I am so glad she can do the same

Ava loves wearing my boots.  They are up to her hips :)

Yet again being silly in my boots

Pinterest receipe for Jambalaya.  LOVE that website.  Random I know but I have made so many good recipes for dinner thanks to this website.  Plus it saves a girl so much time!!!!!

We went to a local Fall Festival last night and it was so much fun.   Ava got to play games, ride the Hay ride, get candy, and of course eat popcorn and cotton candy.

She also went with her class to a pumpkin patch this week.  She had so much fun and didn't want to leave.

School Pictures and Dentist

Wednesday was school pictures at school.  :)

Thursday was Ava's first Dentist appointment.  I was a little nervous cause I didn't know how she would react. She was a little nervous but we went to this GREAT Pediatric Dentist.  The office is the cutest ever.  I am not sure how a kid can be scared in such a cute/fun setting.   There were games and all sorts of things to look at.   She got a sweet Hygienist that made her feel so comfortable.  Ava didn't shed one tear during the cleaning/exam.  They even have TVs to watch on the ceiling while they are having their teeth cleaned.  I mean how cool is that? We had a wait a while for the Dentist so her nerves were getting worn thin.  By the time she came in,  there were tears but not bad.  She has cavities.  I wasn't surprised because she is the candy queen!
