Poker Night

Alex here, guest blogging for Heather again...

Upon our return from Iowa, Heather wasted no time getting back into the swing of things. On the first Saturday after our return, it was her turn to host the co-op moms monthly poker night.

 

For the hardy souls willing and able to make the trek from Seattle, it was a lively evening of good food,

 fine wine,

fun times and some racy playing cards (a gag birthday gift one of the mom's received last Summer), not to mention breakfast at the Mount Bakery.

Cole went to an overnighter at Grammy's house (and came back singing songs from Mary Poppins). 

Audrey tried to make the scene, but Mom wasn't having any of it. 

Audrey used all of the tricks in her arsenal including being cute;

and feigning interest in the conversation,

But it was all to no avail. Time for bed little one,

On the following Wednesday, I dropped Cole at his co-op preschool and took Heather's place at the Ones coop preschool that Audrey attends.

We all got spiffed up for school and even washed behind our ears. Mom was so impressed that she snapped a couple of shots,

At home Audrey enjoys facilitating entropy by removing things from their proper place and depositing them on the floor. She doesn't do anything with them, she just enjoys having everything readily available on the floor, vs. being put away. 

At school it's a different story. Here she is helping her friend Garcia put all the blocks away properly. They made sure to front them so they were all the same distance from the edge of the shelf, Garcia took the lead on the project, but Audrey was totally on board with the idea.

She's also a big fan of the slide,

The next day Heather went and got her hair done. It's a new look for her and she's still getting accustomed to it, so I was forbidden from posting a picture of it until she's more used to it, but here's an earlier shot of her from 11/15/1972,

Thanks for the shot Grammy!

Happy Birthday Heather!!
