Abby wants to be a ballerina and a makeup artist....

The same Saturday that we went apple picking also happened to be the first day of Abby's ballet classes. She was SO excited to go. She did not want to go home when it was over, but she was thrilled that she got to pick out a trophy and water bottle (ahem...I think they were trying to clean out their back room :-P). When we went to the orientation, they had old costumes that the kids could pick out, and she picked out her special tutu :-P plus a little "medal." Gideon's just dancing around as usual.

For Abby's birthday, she got a pair of Lelli Kelly shoes. They're very whimsical...covered in multi colored beads and sequins in a rainbow of colors. Every little girl's dream shoe :-P. Well, inside of the little box that they came in was a little make up kit in the shape of a phone. I immediately put it up somewhere high (out of sight out of mind :-P). Well, a few days later, I decided that I would let her play with it. Well, the little stinker hid it. I had no idea where she put it, but she knew -_-. A few days later, as I was washing the dishes, she decided that she would give all of her dolls a little make over. I was able to get most of the out, but she did a pretty good job, hahaha.

Apple Picking

This past Saturday, I met up with a couple of friends and their families. We often have play dates and share a little hobby. Can you guess what it is, hehehe. We LOVE to dress our children, haha. Their two little boys and Gideon are roughly the same age, so it's so much fun to coordinate them whenever we go out. Abby and Gideon LOVED picking the apples. I thought that there would be more apples, but it looks like we were there after many other visitors. Most of the apples were at the top of the trees, so we grabbed what we could. Most of what we could get weren't as ripe, but the kids didn't mind. Abby and Gideon would take a bite from an apple and then once they spotted another, would move on to the next. It was super easy to spot everywhere we went. One would just have to follow the trail of the apples with a single bite. One of the friend's husband took these AMAZING photos. Such a gift for us to have :-). Hope you all enjoy!!
