Weekend Update

Audrey received her first postcard at school from Grandma (Great-Grandma). Audrey was so thrilled and excited. Thank you Grandma!!! Audrey also got a 94% on her end of unit math test (it was 4 pages). This a great big Yippee...thank goodness she is starting to take after her Dad when it comes to arithmetic.

I found the girls Halloween costumes at the Disney Store. Hannah is going to be a Cheerleader from High School Musical; it was 25% off (cheaper than buying the Cheerleader outfit at Target). When we walked into the Disney Store I saw the Peter Pan costume at 40% off and jokingly asked Audge if she wanted to be Peter Pan. She turned to me and said yes and got all excited. The girls have watched a lot of the Broadway productions of Peter Pan and Peter is always played by a woman so Audrey thought this was a great idea. I tried to convince Hannah to be Tinkerbell but she would not budge. I am going to be Snow White and Wes is going to be a Skeleton. Halloween should be a lot of fun this year. Wes took the day off and the girls only have a 1/2 day of school.

I got the new Giada De Laurentis cookbook. It is a great Italian cookbook. I highly recommend it. It has a lot of simple and eloquent recipes.

We went and saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua (try typing tht 10 times fast). Please save your money, do not be lured in by the cute and singing and dance number in the commercial, it is not even in the movie. A great movie to watch is Leatherheads with George Clooney and Renee Zelwigger, or Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. Do not waste what small amount of sanity you have left watching a movie about rich spoiled Mexican dogs.

We went to the Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch. It was awesome. They must have had at least 1000 apple trees, and they had many varieties. We took a wagon ride out to the orchard and ate so many apples (you got to eat all the apples you wanted while picking). We got 14lbs of apples for $6. We also got 3 beautiful pumpkins for $5. The orchard is about 15 minutes from the house and we will definitley be going back before the end of the season.
