Apple

1) "Apple" she said.  Then again, "apple".  Then we looked at her, and with an apple in her hand, again she said, "apple"!  Avery's first real word, after bye-bye! 

The next day at the park, we were playing peek-a-boo and Avery said, "I see you"!    Woot, woot Avery!

2)  I thought today was Thursday.  There was a bunch of stuff going on today and I guess I just spaced preschool.  Someone asked me about Zach going to afternoon preschool, and that's when I realized, "Ack, we're late for preschool!"  I apologized and ran off.  He was 45 minutes late for a 2 hour 15 min. preschool.  At least it's just preschool.  I can't be the reason my kids are late for school, when they're in actual school.  I call this my practice year. :) 

3)  Zachery's school pictures were in today and I was pleasantly surprised to see they turned out awesome!  Better than ANY photos we've ever taken,  kudos to Teddy Bear Portraits. 

4)  Later on I took the kids to the mall to use a coupon, then 2 more coupons for food, and then we jumped in the massive trick-or-treat line and got some candy.  Seriously there were at least a thousand kids/parents/ect. shuffling along.  When Toledo says "free", the masses come running. :)  It was fun, for a half an hour, then I let the kids play in the play area for a bit, then we left.  Very successful outing!  I wish I could download the photos I took.
