This weekend went very well. We got alot of "family time" in with Vaughn-elise, Rudy and myself. Rudy called friday night and said he had "absolutely nothing planned" for saturday and so..we made plans. Origionally we wanted to get up early and take Vaughn to the pumpkin patch, home for a nap and then to night eyes with my sister and their family...we instead ran alot of errands, stopped at the mall just for fun and "pretend shopped" in some jewelry stores. We then went back to the apt and let vaughnie sleep and then went to the pumpkin patch. Amanda and Phillippe decided they werent going to night eyes and vaughn was awfully cranky so we also skipped it and instead took our time at the pumpkin patch. I gotta say, I was highly disappointed in Patch's Pumpkins. It was very much talked up to be some great thing...not so much. Searching for the perfect pumpkins was fun, but the rest of it was dirty and kinda lame. Maybe if Vaughn was a little older she would have liked it but we just couldnt believe how dirty it was. We let her get in the bounce house by herself for a few minutes and she did like that. We ended up getting two pumpkins and were going to carve them (rudy has never carved a pumpkin before..??? what kind of childhood is that?!?!?) but have not yet done that...maybe some morning this week we can do that. They are little petite ones so we weren't sure if we should just set them out (I think they last longer that way). It was fun though and I am glad we went...

Later that night Matt and Maria came over to Rudy's and we watched three movies, ate pizza and had a really really good time. So the movie picks werent that amazing but it was fun.

Sunday we attempted church...vaughn however was exhausted and gets very chatty when she's tired, so we left and I brought her home where she instantly crashed. poor thing.

We spent the day with rudy and then he came over this evening for a bit too. It was really nice getting to spend the weekend with him. Things are going great and we've been getting along perfectly (knock on wood).

This weekend is his birthday (on Halloween) and I am still debating what to get him...i have some ideas but just havent narrowed it down yet. I am so excited for Vaughn's first halloween where she can really dress up and have fun. I know she wont really get it get it but she loves to wear her costume so I am very excited for her.

She's been so mischeivious lately and its really wearing me out!!! Poor thing gets so frustrated hearing no all the time and being removed from situations that sometimes she just breaks down and cries... I wanna do the same thing after hours of trying to distract her from things....

Rudy and I were talking today about what a strong personality she already has....hope thats a good thing...:) Well for now i am exhausted...I must go to bed!
