A morning with daddy

This last weekend I had plans in the morning, so Nathan and Emma spent the day at a park and then at a local fair.

Emma's first ferris wheel ride.

I was able to join them for the last hour at the fair, I couldn't ride any rides, but Emma got to ride lots of them with her daddy.

 I don't think she could have been any happier, with a sucker free swag she got from various booths and some toys she won at games.

Making cookies

Emma has really wanted to help with cooking lately, and at the very mention of cookies she insists we make some! I really need to make her her own apron, this is one of my old ones that I pin to fit her.

Gotta love licking the beaters!

First day of preschool

Emma is now going to preschool Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9-1. She LOVES it!

 All of these pictures were taken the first day, there were certainly no tears! As soon as we got to her classroom, she headed off to play without a look at me! I made her come back and give me a kiss, and then she was off again.

I am happy that she is loving it so much! It gives me time to get things ready for little man.

Food Truck Friday

The first friday of every month they have what is called "Food Truck Friday" at a park here in St Louis. Food trucks from all over the city meet, and sell yummy yummy food. The first friday in August had nice weather, so we decided to go.

The parking was HORRIBLE, but the food was good and we were able to meet some friends there. Overall it was a fun evening, ending in Nathan chasing the little girls around the park.

Volcanoes

We covered a pan with baking powder and let Emma drip vinegar to make mini volcanoes... she loved it!

When we were done we dumped the rest of the vinegar on the pan, it was actually really pretty.
