Snow White with Nawnaw

Nawnaw took Megan and I to see Snow White on Sunday afternoon at Casa Manana in Ft. Worth.  The performance started at 2:00, so we had a quick lunch at Baker Brothers before the show. 

Before the show started, Meg spotted Hailey in the crowd.  Hailey was there with her grandma.  The show was amazing, a little loud at times, but still absolutely amazing.  After the show, we stood in line to get our program signed by Snow White, Prince Sebastian and the wicked Step-Mother.

We can’t wait for Rudolph in December. 

Go Panthers!

To say that we were busy on Saturday would be an understatement.  After skating, the pumpkin patch and Michael’s, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Chili’s then headed to Aaron’s football game.  Aaron looked so adorable in his football gear.  I loved that his team has pink laces for Breast Cancer Awareness!  Aaron’s team is the Panthers and Meg loved cheering for him.  Unfortunately, the Panthers weren’t victorious, but we still had a great time.

Great Pumpkin Event at Michaels

Saturday after skating and the pumpkin patch, Meg, Lauren, Laura and I headed to Michael’s for the Great Pumpkin Event. 

Meg picked out the perfect pumpkin to paint and decorate as a purple bat.

 

She and Lauren got started painting their pumpkins purple. 

After they painted their pumpkins, they had to cut out the bat wings and ears from purple foam. 

After everything was put on their pumpkins, we headed to lunch at Chili’s.

Pumpkin Patch

After skating lessons on Saturday, Meg and I went with Laura and Lauren to a pumpkin patch for a quick photo shoot.  Meg wasn’t exactly in the mood for a photo shoot, so I had to bribe her a few times.

We went to the same pumpkin patch that we visited last year in Arlington.  It’s not actually a pumpkin patch, it’s a church’s front yard that sell pumpkins.  But, they have great photo ops and it’s close and free, so we love it.

Meg had fun running around and making me force her to take some pictures.  The pictures of Meg aren’t that great, so we’ll definitely be going to another pumpkin patch for some more pictures.  Meg was just in one of “those” moods and I didn’t want to ruin our day.

***One of the few pictures I like***

It didn’t help that Meg was chewing gum and blowing bubbles for every photo.  I had to constantly remind her to keep her gum in her mouth and to stop blowing bubbles!  It was driving me crazy!!!  Why I helped her learn how to blow bubbles is beyond my comprehension.  My gum bill has more than tripled since this new hobby started!

Meg was also in the mood to make the funny smile.  It reminded me of her portraits that she takes for school pictures. 

I was able to talk her into taking some pictures with me.  I’m glad we had Laura with us – she snapped a few with my camera!  Thanks Laura :) 

Meg loved this girl scare crow.  It was one of the few times that she was a willing participate in my photography.  She was being a total goof ball. 

 

This picture cost me one dollar.  By the time I snapped this picture, Meg was done with my picture taking.  Unfortunately, the dollar wasn’t well spent, because this is the best picture I was able to get of the little princess.  In all the other pictures, she is not smiling.  I should have made a condition on my dollar…I know next time to tell her that I’ll give her a dollar if she gives me a good shot. 

At least she was happy on the way to the car.  We bought four little pumpkins and she was very happy about that.  I’m not sure what she was more happy about…the fact that she had four new pumpkins or that we were leaving.  I’ll let you decide. 

Ten on Tuesday

1. What does your work out schedule look like? I like to get to the gym five days a week and have been doing a pretty good job since I am currently unemployed.  I usually like to take Megan to school, then head straight to the gym. 

2. What is your favorite machine to use at the gym?  I love the elliptical.  I use it every day :)

3. What is your favorite class to take at the gym?  I really love the spinning classes, but also enjoy 24LIFT. 

4. Where do you shop for work out gear and clothing?  Target.  I don’t have work out gear – I just throw on a t-shirt and shorts. 

5. If you can’t go to the gym, do you have a favorite outdoor activity?  Meg has really gotten into roller blading, so I will walk with her thru the neighborhood or ride my bike with her. 

6. What about a favorite work out DVD? I love Jillian Michaels 30-day shred.  Although, I have failed to do it 30 days in a row yet :)

7. Are you more active now or when you were in high school?  I was definitely more active when I was in high school.  With all of my grown up responsibilities, I don’t have time to be as active as I once was. 

8. How has your dieting/working out philosophy changed since high school?  In high school, I ate anything and everything.  Now, I try to think about how what I’m eating will fuel my body. 

9. What do you do while working out– (i.e., day dream, read, listen to music, gab with a friend)?  When I’m working out, I’m plugged into my iPod. 

10. What working out resolution would you like to make for yourself this year?  To stick with working out five days a week. 

 

Skating Lessons

On Saturday morning, we went to skating lessons again.  Meg loves skating right now and she’s pretty good.  She’s so confident when she’s on her roller blades.  This weekend, Laura and Lauren were able to meet us.  Laura was the mom who told me about the great lessons.

The girls did great and had so much fun together.  Meg is getting better with each lesson.  She also rides her blades around the neighborhood a few nights a week with our neighbors.  I’m so proud of how quickly she has progressed.  Every week I’m blown away by her ability on her blades. 

Next up, the Pumpkin Patch :)
