M.O.P.S. and Jack-O-Lantern

Happy Friday! We have had a pretty routine week. Josh had a bunch of events that kept him busy, and I had an ACLS class Wednesday and worked Thursday. Today, however, Avery and I got up and out of the house for awhile. We attended our first M.O.P.S. meeting today. M.O.P.S. stands for Mother Of Preschoolers, and it is basically a group of women that get together once a month to visit, fellowship and learn from each other. We were put into small groups and the small groups try to also get together during the month for play dates and mom's night out. I figured it would be a good way for me to meet new people in the area and for Avery to get to hang out with some babies her own age. She was NOT feeling the bow this morning.

But she was happy to be getting out of the house.

I was too!

The meeting lasted from 9:30-12:30, so around 11:30 I stopped by her classroom to check on her and she was being real fussy. Poor thing missed her morning nap and was not having any fun. So I took her back into the meeting and entertained her until it was over. She passed out as soon as we got in the car to leave.

This evening when Josh got home from work, we carved our Halloween pumpkin! Avery had to check it out first.

and taste it :) She also helped me draw the face on it.

Ta Da!

Happy Halloween!

We carved the pumpkin's teeth just like Avery's. Two on the bottom and two on top!

I have to work all weekend, but Josh is planning on going to Luling tomorrow to play golf. Avery will get to spend the day with her Mimi and Papa. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
