Instaweek 7

Are instagram photos a cop-out blogpost? Maybe, but I enjoy them oh so much! Here's a little of what we were up to in July/early August.

Fancy Lady

It should come as no surprise to me that Aubrey relishes in dressing up in grown-up clothes and especially shoes. When I was a child I also relished in this and my mom has long since called me Fancy as a result (sidenote: my best friend Caton for a long time thought my mom called me Fancy after the Reba McIntire song which is not where my nickname comes from. The song is about a mom sending her daughter off to prostitution, something I'm fairly certain my own mother never had in the plans).

A couple weeks ago I was getting ready for a wedding and Aubrey decided she wanted to get dressed up too.

Check out those calves! It's true, heels really do wonders for your legs!

Slide

At Grandma's house there is an actual slide to play on, but when we're grilling in our sideyard, sometimes Daddy makes an even better slide.

This picture was taken last night. Aubrey and I spent the afternoon going on a repair shop run with my dad. After being gone for longer than I expected with no food or drink in tow, Aubrey was one miserable and tired child by the time we finally pulled in the driveway at 7:30. Somehow, a bath with bubbles and play toys turned everything around and even though it was pushing 8:00 in this picture and we still hadn't eaten, you would never have guessed this was the same child that was screaming for her life for the last ten miles of our journey less than an hour before this snapshot.
