this morning was abbey's very first primary program! she did an amazing job, i am so proud of her! and she's awfully proud of herself, too. she was pretty shy about the songs she didn't know very well, but she absolutely belted out the one's she did. it was awesome to watch. i'm so glad that we had henry when we did so i didn't have to miss this!
after lunch and ellie's nap, the girls carved pumpkins with daddy! abbey went right to work on hers and cleaned out her pumpkin faster than anyone i've ever seen. she did a great job drawing her face on, too (dan was very careful to carve it exactly the way she drew it). she made a "spooky" pumpkin. ellie used her spoon to dig the guts out of her pumpkin and then put them in her mouth. gross. we tried stopping her several times, but eventually gave up. really, it's squash, it's not going to hurt her. danny carved her pumpkin into the surprised face ellie makes, because trying to carve out the scribbles she drew was just a little tricky.henry and i had a postpartum appointment at the hospital this evening. a doctor's appointment at 5pm on a sunday? yeah, i thought it was weird, too. but they said it was important, so we went. and wasted 90 minutes. we did get to weigh henry while we were there, though. he's 4 days old and already back up to 6lb 11oz, only 1oz shy of his birth weight. way to eat like your mom, little guy!
we rushed home from the hospital to dinner in a pumpkin (yum. i could eat this every day.) and trick-or-treating. the girls actually went trunk-or-treating last night and had an absolute blast, so they only went to one house tonight. our next door neighbor, a sweet little grandma, wanted to see the girls, so we got them all dressed up and danny ran them over. it worked out really well, because abbey really wanted to t-o-t on halloween, but it was way too close to bed time to go out. it was a good compromise that made everyone happy.oh, a note about costumes. abbey was "not a scary" witch. ellie was supposed to be her little black cat, but we lost her costume. we looked for it everywhere, could not find it. "renaissance princess" was the only costume in her size at target. the only one. so, that's what she was. she was cute, but they didn't match. i hate not matching... henry was going to be a bat, but i didn't make him a costume in advance because we weren't sure when he would be born. we got home from the hospital friday evening and let me tell you, i just didn't feel like sewing a costume two days after having a baby. weird, i know. so he wore his pumpkin tush suit, which i think worked out just fine. ;D
hm..so much for a short post, huh?
