Fashion Sense

She gets her fashion sense from her dad :)

The old and the new

From this...to this.
Today is Averi's first day of preschool!!

Averi was so excited she wanted to wear her feefy(butterfly) shirt to show all her new friends but it was dirty. Way to go mom! It's pouring rain outside so dressed in her skirt and a different butterfly shirt, on go the rubber boots for a complete fashion statement. I sure hope she enjoys her time today! I'm proud of you baby girl!

Dance class- Day 1

Averi started dance class today and it was awesome!! She was so excited to be getting into her tutu that I'm a little bit surprised she didn't sleep with it on last night. She didn't quite understand the idea of leg warmers though, because she had them pulled right up to her bum! The black leotard I got her was absolutely adorable with it's black rhinestones and tendency to ride up her bum. Throughout the class I was actually laughing with the other moms because Averi didn't seem to notice the wedgie and the rest of us couldn't believe she could even walk with it :)

As I was watching the end of class the kids started filing in to get ready for the ballet class that was after. A little girl came to talk to me and Brad who was laying on a blanket on the floor. This was the ensuing conversation with the 3 year old.

Her: What's the baby name?

Me: Brad

Her: hmmm, that's what I have for breakfast. I like mine with Honey. Do you like yours with honey?

She thought I said his name was bread! We all laughed so hard. She was so innocent and didn't understand what the mistake was. Kids really do say the darnedest things!! Can't wait to see what stories Averi has after she is settled into preschool and has more dance classes.

The past and present and future

Sitting this weekend around my inlaws place we have been having a good laugh about the past. In 1992 Chad had the craziest twirl thing going on the side of his head and a fashionably awesome colour block shirt. Turns out I still havent seen the stage where all he wore was black sweatpants and a black tshirt.

We then went for a quad ride and were reminiscing about the time we went quading in Meadow Lake and I tried to drive for the first time. I got scared, let go of the handlebars, and drove straight into a tree. Now, I wasn't going very fast when I hit it but Chad was my passenger and I think I scared the daylights out of him. We couldn't stop laughing. Chad ended up driving the rest of that day but I spent some time trying to throw him into the slough when we got stuck and he was trying to attach the winch. Was a great time.

We laughed lots about the way Averi talks and how she is coming into her own person with her own language. About how Matt scared the beegeeses out of me in the middle of the night by knocking over the lamp in his room, then tripping over a picture that fell. I thought it was one of my kids falling out of bed.

This weekend Neile and I booked a trip for 3 weeks from now. We are going to stay at the Royal DeCameron Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from Sept 23-30. I am going to take Bradley with us and leave Averi with Grandma Carolyn so she can still go to school and dance class. I can't wait to go away for a vacation with Neile. She speaks Spanish so it could be a lot of fun if we venture out into the city one day. I will post pics when we return.
