On Saturday Oma and Granny took Lucy to Aunt Louise's house. They told me they were going to help Aunt Weeze work in the garden, but instead they took Lucy out and spoiled her, big surprise! They went to a pumpkin farm that had a petting zoo, a hay ride, and a big play area filled with corn. The corn thing sounds weird but apparently Lucy loved it.
She had corn everywhere when she got home. Every few minutes a little more would pour out from some where.
While they were at the farm, Dave and I had some grown-up fun! (Not that fun!;)) We went with Ben and Melissa to the Custom Brewcrafters Fall Festival of Ales. It was a surprisingly good time for a pregnant lady! I got to be d.d., they got this nice little glasses which they drank about a hundred beer samples in. Okay, not a hundred but there were a lot of kinds of beer to try.
Today Lucy and I met Melissa and Haley at Party City to buy Halloween costumes. Lucy is going to be a devil, Haley is going to be a cute pink doggy. I am glad Lucy doesn't have an opinion on her costume yet! I bought her a head band with horns, a tail and a pitchfork. I still have to get her a red sweat suit, I am going for simplicity this year!
After costume shopping we went to Chuck E. Cheese! It was a ton of fun, especially since it was a weekday and the place was fairly empty.
The girls had a ton of fun playing together and Melissa and I had fun hanging out, something we don't get do much anymore.
It is so nice to take Lucy somewhere now that she is a toddler and can actually do things. There was a part for toddlers that was fenced off from the rest of the place and we could let Lucy and Haley run around in there. I didn't have to follow a step behind Lucy all the time like I used, I could actually sit nearby and enjoy myself too.
They had this silly thing there that was a phone and if you put a token in you could "call" Chuck E. Very boring but it was, of course, Lucy's favorite thing.
The girls ended up winning enough tickets to each get a little prize. Neither girl cried or had a single break down, so I say it was a huge success!
Tomorrow Lucy and I are going to our first play group meeting! There is a national group called Moms Club and they just started a new chapter out here. I had been meaning to find out about it but didn't do anything until last week when I finally emailed them. Well, they emailed me back today and they are having a meeting tomorrow. Lucy and I really need to get out and meet other little kids and stay-at-home moms. I am often teased because the only other stay-at-home moms I know, are either a bit older than me (Aunt Linda and Grandma) or they live really far away (Julie and Tessa). :) Making new friends is hard. I am excited to go but wish us luck.
On Thursday we are going to Aunt Grace's house so that she can teach me how to hook! I am going to hook a rug for Little Brother's room. We went to JoAnn's and bought fabric today. I am excited to be starting a project, I haven't made anything in a while.
So that is what we have been up to and will be up to for the next few days. Now, I have to go make dinner because Dave isn't here yet to do it for me. :)
