PlayDoh Time

Grammie helped Aubrey and Alex make some turtle, snakes and little dots to decorate the animals with Play-Doh.  Everyone was entertained for a good hour.

 
 
 

Grammie's Visit and a Trip to a Fall Playground

My Mom (Grammie) came to visit.  We are so happy that she came to spend a long weekend with us.  We loved having her come to stay with us.
One afternoon while she was here, we went to a fall playground at a nearby garden nursery.   I had goofed and didn't read the hours, so we arrived an hour before they were officially open.  However, the nursery staff were nice enough to let us go and play.  The kids had a fun time and enjoyed it...especially since they were the only ones there.
    
 

Even Dave had a chance to relax.

First Day of 4 Year old Preschool

Last Monday, Alex and Aubrey started their first day of 4 year old preschool.  They attend three mornings a week.  For the first time, they are in different classes. So far, they seem to enjoy the different classrooms.

After class, Aubrey said, "The teacher gave us carrots for a snack and they feel so good in my tummy."  She has never enjoyed eating carrots before.  She couldn't stop talking about it.  She was so excited that she ate carrots.  She even asked if we had some at home.  Unfortunately, this was one of the few times I didn't have any at home.

All the other kids in Alex's class drew one picture, but Alex drew two.  He had to draw one for Aubrey.  I thought that was so cute.

 
 
 
 
 


Alex and Aubrey are growing up so fast.   Oh my!  Where did my little babies go?

New Clothes

Our sitter, Ghatool, gave us these great outfits. 
Aubrey loves to dance around in hers.  Of course, Alex loves his.



Thank you Ghatool!

Ballet Class

Aubrey just finished her 10 week ballet class last week.   It was at a local community center.   This is the first time she took a class without Alex in it as well.  She really enjoyed it and followed everything the teacher did exactly.  She took it very seriously, but still had fun along the way.


Just this week, Alex and Aubrey started taking a gymnastics class at a local gymnastics center.  They were both a little hesitant, but really got into the class as it went along.
After this gymnastics class is over, we will have to decide if we take another gymnastics class, have Aubrey go back to ballet, or try something different. 

(Note:  I faded out the girl's face next to Aubrey.  Just not sure her parents want her on the Internet.)
