No Pictures For This One

For those of you who know Aubrey Kate and could possibly see her in the next few days, her hair is not wet, it's just slicked back with a whole lot of petroleum jelly.
This morning, I could hear her playing in her room, so I went about getting myself dressed. Next thing I know, I've got a little girl standing in the doorway, three inches deep in petroleum jelly. Yes, from her head to her toe, nothing but petroleum jelly.
I've had a number of people ask me if I captured this moment on camera. NO. I did not. I was too busy disciplining and cleaning her to even think about getting out the camera!
So, after three baths, she still has a greasy head. If anyone would like to offer some ideas as to how to get this out, please do so. I've heard cornstarch works well.

No Tricks, but a lot of Treats!

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Aubrey Kate, aka: Ladybug, went to her daddy's office to pass out treats. I think she ended up getting more treats than she passed out! She has a new found love: M&M's and Snicker Bars!

After a long nap, we went to church for some food, games, and more treats! It didn't take her long to grasp that when she walks in a circle and the music stops, she gets to fill her bag with candy!

We came home around dark and we walked over to the park for some more games and treats, of course! We had a great time with our friends, The Scotts and The Hellrungs.

Now, I just have to work on finding a good hiding place for all the candy!

.45-70

Here is the 100 yard group I got from the .45-70 long-barrel handi-rifle. At 200 the spread was a little more broad but about 4-5in below red dot. I was really hoping for a three in one, but the last shot at 12:00 broke my heart (and if not for the recoil pad my shoulder).

Pun'kin Patch

We spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon at the pun'kin (that's what A.K. calls it) patch. The weather was beautiful and actually felt like fall! Aubrey Kate, as well as moma and dada, had a great time on the hayride looking at all the interesting animals! They had a zeedonk (a cross between a zebra and a donkey) (yes, I'm for real). They also had an assortment of other farm animals that they stopped to feed along the way. The last stop of the hayride was the pun'kin patch. Aubrey Kate got off the hayride trailer with her pig tails whipping in the wind and her little pink boots carrying her to touch almost each and every pun'kin! She went through the hay bale maze with her dada and rode the potato sack swings with her moma. We had such a great time and I look forward to going again next year!

Fun Rides!

The Beach

We drove down to Orange Beach on Monday evening. Tuesday was somewhat overcast, but we were able to get in a few hours on the sand. Wednesday = rain, Thursday = rain, Friday = rain. Oh well! We still had a great time. I got my fill of fried oysters and steamed shrimp. Aubrey Kate had a blast on the kiddie rides at an amusement park. I'm thankful we had a change of scenery and a break from our normal routine.

FYI

Just to let you know, we are going down to Orange Beach for a few days. There probably won't be another post until we get back (Thursday or Friday). Hope to have some cute beach pics when we return! Have a great week everyone!
