Hip, hip, hooray!

Time for an Audrey update? 1. Scarf dancing demo above. 2. Audrey loves to giggle and anything out of the ordinary will set her off. She is quick with wit herself and surprises me with her humor. 3. No more diapers. (Thus the title of the post). 4. She is getting good at her scooter. 5. Has ridden horses several times recently with her cousins and loves it. 6. Still naps. 7. Misses her daddy being home so much. 8. Always says no to reading but once I start gets completely engrossed with me in the discovery of a new book. 9. Loves to help me cook and do dishes. 10. Loves, loves, loves friends.

Can I say we probably just discovered the best babysitter in the world the other night while we were out on a double date??? This turkey is one of the projects we came home to. Mary Poppins...watch out!
Finger painting is the absolute favorite order of the day lately. Something about getting completely gooey makes for toddler delight.

Halloween


So, I realize now we didn't snap a single picture of Audrey in her costume on the night of Trunk or Treat. Luckily, I took some while in Michigan, so Audrey as an elephant is documented!
We actually carved our pumpkins this year instead of just buying one with good intentions! Motivation from knowing we have a two-year-old, I guess. :) She loved them.
So, I bought a CD a few years back when we had some friends over for a Halloween party. It has such classics as "Purple People Eater" and "Monster Mash". It has been a smash hit around here this year (it might have to find it's way to a deep dark box soon or mommy might go crazy). A few days before Halloween we got to have Audrey's cousin's Annie and Reese over for awhile and they all danced and horrahed like crazy to the tunes. Thanks, Geoff, for inciting all the shananagans. :)
I love the wee little hand in this picture. Yummy spider treats!!
Great gutters. Yes, Lindsay, Reese is about to eat some pumpkin guts. It only happened a few times...I think. :)
