weekend update

last week was dave's first week of work. it was lonely to be without him but audrey and i stayed pretty busy. we went and purchased some easter stuff for audrey (i am really excited for that) and more baskets to organize our stuff. we took full advantage of double coupon day at the grocery store and got $35.00 worth of groceries for fifteen dollars, i made homemade baby food (which wasn't nearly as hard or time-consuming as i thought it would be), and found a nice centerpiece for the kitchen table.

audrey experienced her first ride in a grocery cart. she was not thrilled about it. here is a picture. you can kind of see the fear in her eyes. i think she was wondering what happened to her regular ride. she actually had a meltdown after about ten minutes and i ended up carrying her around the store. i guess it is like eating solid foods for her, it will just take some time to get used to the idea.



we had a great weekend. on friday night my parents watched offered to watch the princess so we could go get a bite to eat. when we got home, audrey was sitting in her bumbo on the couch, between my parents and when she saw us, she screamed at us. a couple of times in a row...i wish we had gotten it on tape, it was the funniest thing i have ever seen. we all just laughed and laughed. she did not want us to come home. it was like she was yelling, "go away, i am not done playing with my grandparents."

on saturday we went to old town alexandria just to knock around the shops and i found the cutest book for audrey. i can't wait for easter to give it to her. after that we went and had lunch at panera bread and went to a few more stores in search of some nightstands for our bedroom. we didn't have much luck so we went to the library and got a library card and ran a few errands and came home. it was a great day and i am excited for all the fun free stuff there is for us to do on the weekends here.

well, that is just a little of what i have been up to this past week. i just heard the kitchen timer beep signaling that the carrots i have boiling our done and are ready to be mashed up into baby food. i am going to try to be better about blogging but audrey is still struggling with taking naps so i guess only time will tell.
