Dale was hard at work this weekend, painting the hallway, hanging my new frame arrangement, hanging the new stuff I bought for the office. Don't feel too bad for him though, he did get to golf this morning. I will have some pictures to post as soon as we get the finishing touches done on both spaces. Yesterday, I went to my friend Jamie's baby shower, she is expecting a little girl at the end of October. Her son Sean is one of Ava's playmates and is two weeks older than her. It was a very nice shower and then after I got home we went to Kelly and Thi's for dinner. They made us basa fish fillet sandwiches, they were delish! I had never had that kind of fish before and it was tasty. Even better was the fact that I did not have to cook and Ava was able to play with Alexander. Ava has a little girl at daycare named Abigail and she calls her "Agabee" well, Alexanders' name has transformed from Alalalala to Alagabee in Ava translation. It is so darn cute to hear her say it. Ava took a 3 hour nap today... after terrorizing the house all morning when I was trying to pick pictures for the frames in the hallway. It gave me time to clip coupons and figure out my shopping trips for the week (my new favorite past time) and when Dale came home from golf, we went up to Isla and played in the pool for awhile. The weather was beautiful all weekend here, no rain, a little hot but always a breeze at the beach. Looks like Ike will be missing us pretty much all together so we can breathe for a few more days. Here are a couple pics from today, oh, and how could I forgot... Yahoo, State won and Boohoo, the Bucs lost. Ava did wear her Bucs cheerleading outfit and practiced her "Go Buc's" chant with Daddy. Her new favorite toy which you may see in a picture she calls "roni", no idea why... it is a Tupperware Maracas Rattle thing. I thought she had long outgrown it but apparently she is now in love with it... and also with all "coldies" which are frozen teethers. Another item I thought we had seen the last of. Guess we have to keep EVERYTHING for a little while longer...
