Happy Halloween

Here is one picture of me as Dorothy. More to come later.

Pumkins

After Gymnastics on Saturday, I got to choose my pumpkin out of a pumpkin patch. I was proud of which one I chose. Then we went home and carved it.

Sunday, we went to the church where I go to school and where mommy works. The pre-school and kindergarten got to sing two songs in front of church that we practice every Wednesday we have Chapel. I was a good girl, I stood on the front row and sang and did the hand movements. Mommy and daddy had tears of happiness and some giggles too. Especially, as soon as the camera man was on me, I picked my nose. : )

Ballerina

I found a ballerina hand-me-down outfit in my closet from a work friend of mommy's. I have been wanting to put it on every night. I love it. Since I kept saying I wanted to be a ballerina, mommy signed me up for an 8 week Princess Ballerina class. Also, mommy has more time with volleyball being over. I am still doing gymnastics as well.

The class is for 3 to 5 year olds that teaches beginning ballet, creative dance, and tap. Mid class they read a princess story, and then we get to dress up like that princess. They provide the costume change. The last part of class, we get to dance dressed up like that princess. Yesterday we were Snow White.

Here are pictures of me waiting for my class.

Here I am dancing at home. See videos

Volleyball Over, School, and Church Stuff

I was so excited to go to mom's State Volleyball Tournament this weekend in Brenham. I looked forward to getting out of school early, the volleyball games, and staying in a hotel. Here we are wearing matching shirts that her team bought for us.

Fun at the hotel, in the beginning.

Daddy took me to the Blue Bell Factory while mom prepared for the game. I had fun. Then later that evening, I started to not feel good. I had a runny nose and cough. I didn't get to go to many volleyball games that day, so daddy and I chilled in the hotel. That night was rough...I was up all night crying that my nose and ear hurt, and I had a horrible cough that sounded like a seal bark. Mom and dad didn't get any sleep that night. Mom had to be up at 6:00 for her game. So daddy and I stayed in the hotel and rested. Mom's team didn't do good in the tournament. So by 9:00 am we headed home.

They took me to the doctor that afternoon and I have Croup, an ear infection, and high fever. They gave me lots of different kinds of medicines. Beautiful weather outside, and I always have to stay inside thanks to Allergies or colds.

Sunday, I had fever this morning, but have been playing up a storm. I feel better. We will see if I have a good night.

Here are some other pictures that we have taken lately. One day when mommy had a game, daddy took me to Chick File to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse.Here I am before our Church Fall Festival:

Here is my school picture...

At school the Band director, who is also a daddy to someone in my class brought all of us a Recorder to have as our own. Here I am playing my first musical instrument. Listen to me play.

Here is daddy and I playing in a band!

Rough Week

Sunday, mommy came down with the flu. Monday, I woke up with a runny nose so I stayed home for daddy to watch me too. Luckily, mine was just a head / chest cold, my usual. Mommy's was bad, and she is still recovering.

We were worried about the baby on Tuesday, but after an ultrasound the baby is handling mommy's flu okay.

Today mommy and I went in to work and school for just half a day. It took a lot out of her. She is exhausted and still not feeling good. She is only going to do another half day tomorrow. Oh, and to top off the week she broke 2 teeth this week too.

It still could be worse, luckily mine wasn't the flu and luckily no one else in the family has caught it.
