fall festival and audrey's first piano recital

so we started the night off well. i had to force zach to eat ONE bite of his vegetables so he could have his piece of bread. that battle of wills lasted for about one hour. and i won. barely! then we all hopped into the car to go to the fall festival up the street. audrey was her usual princess self, and zach borrowed a woody costume from his cousin. poor kenzie didn't get to wear anything special. audrey enjoyed the pony rides.
zach got a little freaked out, and i had to go get him off of the horse.
eating his most beloved lollipops
then, audrey was standing in line for one of the games and a little boy about 10 years old comes running as fast as he could and ran smack dab into audrey. it was one of those "funniest home video" moments when you just wince at how hard she got hit (except it wasn't funny). wish i could have had it on camera. anyways. she face planted (thank the Lord her teeth were intact), and got some good bruises and scratches. you can see a little of her left eye, where it may be black tomorrow, but there are scratches above and below her lips, and her elbow and knee were pretty banged up too. so there ended our night out.
audrey had her first recital friday night! she did really well, and didn't seem nervous at all! a couple of other little ones played twinkle twinkle too, but i think audrey did the best at it!! considering she's only been playing for about 2 months! here she is awaiting her turn to play. that's molly murrah on her right. zach sat with me during the recital. he did sooooo well!! i couldn't believe how he sat still and was quiet throughout the performances. i think he really enjoyed it.
i tried to get the video on, but the file was too big i guess and it wouldn't go. i haven't figured it out yet, and my husband hasn't had time to look at it yet. but i'll post the recital as soon as i can.

Look at you! I think you're losing weight! Go girl. And that Zach always cracks me up. Poor little Audrey...taking a face plant and boy, she sure did look all banged up. I'm glad she did better than me at my piano recital when I was 16. All the little kids were laughing (and so was my family) and this one kid said "mommy, what's she trying to play?" It was some obvious Christmas song. I'll never forget it. Still have nightmares.
