Ava Ballerina

A few pics of Ava in her ballerina costume!

Finally! A TOOTH!!!

You read that right: Miss Ava has her first tooth! It's taken long enough! Lol. The right middle bottom tooth cut through yesterday and it looks like the left isn't far behind it. Although if she teethes anything like her big brother (which it seems like so far!) it will be weeks before we can even actually see the little toofer! Maybe it will actually be up out of the gums by the time we come home!

Some funny Aiden-isms for your Monday morning:

Aiden, while looking at my chipped toenail polish yesterday, "Mommy, your toes need to go to the garage and get a new paint job!"

Aiden has decided that he HATES when I sing. All day yesterday, any time I started to sing he would cover his ears and say, "Mommy, please don't do that! It hurts my ears! I don't like when you sing!" Ahem, I WAS in choir in high school kid, I've been told I have a good voice!

This morning Aiden heard Chuck blow his nose loudly in the bathroom. He said, "Mommy, what was THAT?!" I said, "It was just Daddy blowing his nose." Aiden looked suspicious and asked, "Mommy, are you SURE it wasn't an elephant? I think it might have been an elephant!" :)

Pics from today...

Lost...and found!

A terrible, awful thing happened today: I lost my wedding ring. Not just my wedding band, but my 1 carat diamond solitaire too. And then a wonderful, miraculous thing happened. Someone FOUND IT!!! I have been crying all afternoon because it was lost and now I am crying because it is found. I can't even believe it.

Today we took the kids to The Rock Ranch, a ranch run by the owners of Chick-Fil-A. It is a really fun place, especially for younger children. They have tons of fun things to do: bouncy houses, a corn maze, a petting zoo, train rides, etc. Aiden and Ava both had a lot of fun, and Chuck and I did too!

By far, Aiden's favorite thing at the ranch was the Corn House. It is an outdoor house FULL of 6,000 pounds of dried, shelled corn. A redneck ballpit, if you will. I brought Ava in and we had tons of fun playing in the corn. But on the way home, Chuck looked over at my hand and said, "Where is your wedding ring?" I started crying immediately--I knew I had lost it in the corn. I couldn't even believe it. There was no way that anyone would find it in 6,000 pounds of corn!!! I called the ranch as soon as we got home and left my name and number. And...

THEY FOUND IT!!! I am so happy, I can't even believe it. The woman running the corn house found it and put it in the vault for me and we'll be going back next weekend to pick it up. Now to remember NOT to wear it in the corn house, lol.

I'll post pics from the ranch tomorrow...it's been a loooong day!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! These are some pics from Halloween last night. I didn't get any good pics of Ava in her costume because she completely lost it right around 6:30pm and wouldn't stop crying, so she didn't get to go trick or treating, poor girl. She had to go to bed!

Aiden was Superman and Ava was a ballerina. I will have to get some cuter pics of her in her costume this weekend.

Aiden had a really good time trick or treating. First, he went with me and Ava to Publix (a grocery story) at 4pm to play games at different stations and get candy as prizes. Then we went over to Chuck's office and Aiden went trick or treating at Chuck's employees desks:) Then Aiden got to go trick or treating with Chuck around the neighborhood. He had a great time and got waaaay too much candy.
