Our Mommy/Daughter Day Out

came after we went to soccer, lunch at Chelsea's, then the pumpkin patch! I had to work alot last week, so I told Phoebe that we could go off today and do something with just us two (dadda didn't mind). We got dressed in the same outfits (yellow shirts, white skirts and headbands).


First we went to the Mudpie Company and painted a Halloween piece. It was a pumpkin and you can take the top of it off and keep things inside. After that I surprised her with a trip 2 doors down from Mudpie, Gigi's cupcakes! They were huge! We sat outside on a bench and ate "some" of our cupcakes. After that we headed home. Phoebe & Dadda started carving the big pumpkin, then me & Phoe played outside for a bit, then came inside and carved Phoe's little pumpkin. It was a fun filled day! On Sunday, I took Phoe to the dollar store and let her spend the $10 that TeTe & Uncle Brian sent in her halloween card. She was so excited. I explained how much she had, how much each item costs and told her it was entirely up to her what she buys. She bought items she already had (well similar), but I didn't want to step in at all, and she was so happy with her choices. Then we headed to Target and she was amazing, as she usually is in the store, so we got an icee and popcorn on the way out. Another fun filled day with my girl! Aidan came over to hang out with Phoebe & Mikey while me & Tammy went to Macy's. Evan stayed home with his dad because he ran into the wall and hurt his nose pretty bad.

Phoebe lost her second tooth!

Phoebe (aka Toothless) lost her 2nd tooth at school today, while she was eating lunch. I'll post the story later. :) Here's what she left the toothfairy under her pillow:
And here's what the toothfairy left her:

Surprise Pizza Delivery (actually grandparent delivery!)

MawMaw & PawPaw came in this past weekend for a surprise visit. They didn't just surprise Phoebe this time, they got Mikey too! :) MawMaw called me on Friday around 11am saying PawPaw just called her saying he wanted to come to Texas and MawMaw headed straight home from the store to pack. They left around 1pm and got in around 8. They rang the doorbell and said "Pizza delivery" but this time they actually had a pizza! :) We had a wonderful weekend. MawMaw & PawPaw got to see Phoebe play a soccer game on Saturday, then we headed to Chelsea's deli for a victory lunch. We came home and rested for a while and hung out, then headed to Carrabba's for dinner, which was sooo good! I'll write more on the weekend and post pictures soon!

Phoebe lost her first tooth!

Phoebe's tooth fell out at school today. She had to go to the nurse who gave her a treasure box to put it in (although I sent her "first tooth" treasure box from home, lol. I think she just wanted to go see the nurse & tell her that she lost a tooth!).  Here's toothless =)

 

Phoebe's First Soccer Game

We received a flyer from Phoebe's school regarding a community soccer league. We considered signing her up for it, but wasn't sure if she'd be interested. So we took her to see the boys play and she said that she wanted to play. They were still registering for the church league they were on, so we signed her up with them. She's on Team Norway and Mr. Barrett (whom she already knows) is the coach. Yesterday, Oct 1st, was her first game. She didn't have team practice yet because the practice day after she signed up, was reserved for team pictures. At least we signed her up in time for those! We bought her some cleats and a soccer ball and she practiced during the week in our backyard. During her first game yesterday, she kept going after the ball and she did a great job! One kid that was on her team started kicking the ball towards the other goal and Phoebe said, "hey, our goal is on this side, ya know?!". We were cracking up. But she had a great time and really surprised us. She fell a few times, but got right back up and kept playing without saying a word. We are so proud of her!

Go Team Norway! #4
