Happy Birthday Grandma!
We went to PA this weekend to wish my mom a happy birthday. We left here on Friday and after the 4 hour car ride, that should have taken two, we finally arrived! Ashleigh was very excited to see Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday morning Mom and I took Ashleigh to go see the 1128 lb giant pumpkin at Dan Schantz Greenhouse . She had a BLAST.
the TINY pumpkin that is on her right in one photo and then on her left in another is the pumpkin she chose. We showed her some “normal” sized pumpkins, but she decided that they were too big, and since she was little, she needed a TINY pumpkin. I think she picked out the smallest pumpkin in the place. She had a slightly larger one, but then saw the even smaller pumpkins and had to put the larger one back to get the tiny one.
and somehow managed to avoid the french fries too! She loved the bread and the spinach and artichoke dip.
After dinner was over we headed back to the house and Ashleigh had some fun with Grandma.
She also did some posing on the chair on her own.
This morning we went outside so that Ashleigh could ride her bike and I could plant my new mums in my new pot (thanks Mom!) Ashleigh had to help me plant the flowers of course, then when we were done she rode her bike and I took some photos (what’s new?!) There was only one photo where she was looking at the camera.
And the festive fall flowers…..
We are working on the alphabet with Ashleigh. Last night she asked if I would help her write her ABCs today. We are starting with the letter A and moving on once she can make a letter A. She is growing up way to fast if you ask me! We had tons of hilarious conversations in the car, but I didn’t write them down, so I have forgotten them by now…I need to get better and writing them down right away!
