Weekend in Review (A little late)

It was time for Ansley's 9th month checkup Friday, so we loaded up and visited Dr. Hoffman.  It turns out Ansley is now in the 50% in height and weight, so we've experienced a little bit of a slim down (she was in the 90% in weight last checkup)!  Wish I could say the same!

It was no suprise that Jason couldn't sit still and decided to wheel Ansley around on the rolling stool...she loved it!     

She didn't want to sit still for her height measurements

Friday evening we had dinner with Matt, Kristi, Ryan and Whitney (our kitchen is out of commision and the Ewasko's graciously invited us over...more to come on the kitchen).  We had the best meal!  It was some sort of rice and sausage casserole that has to be in the dinner rotation at the Bandermann house from now on!  Yummy...I'm dreaming of the next time I can have it!

Look at the size difference in Alex and Ansley! 
  

Ansley loves Marley!
She got lots of kisses!


Saturday was full of fun!  We took Ansley to an Arty Party at the elementary school just down the road from us (Ansley's future grade school).  She loved it!  The party was in the gym and it was set up in stations for the kids to play in all kinds of mediums.  In other words, we left really dirty!  Thank goodness it was all washable!
This is Ansley arriving at the party
First up:  Playdo

Some of my coworkers (Stacy and Nichole) were there too with their kids
    

Next up: Flour and baby oil
Not many kids wanted to get in, but Ansley didn't care!
Then she started flinging it on the onlookers...it was time to get out after that.

Finally:  Pistachio pudding and milk
There were so many other stations that I didn't get pictures of, but these were definitely her favorites!  Notice Ansley's outfit got a little dirty to say the least!  You can't quite tell from the picture the layer of flour that is covering her entire body...she was stripped from head to toe before getting into the car!  We are for sure coming back next year!

The rest of the day we hung out at home finishing up our kitchen cabinets...ugh.  And then that evening we went to Ryan and Whitney's for dinner.  Ryan fixed ribs that were scrumptious!  This kitchen remodel isn't too bad when you have friends and family who ask you over for yummy dinners! 

These pictures are from Sunday lunch at Pamaw and Pappaw's house after church
(Yes, we had some pretty incredible meals this weekend)

Sorry these pictures aren't very good!


Whew!!!  And sorry about the long post too!

Hello Sarah
Little Ansley is absolutely adorable!
Thank you for visiting Recaptured Charm today. I didn't get an email address for you, so I'll answer your question here. As far as glazing the cupboard doors I used BEHR Faux Glaze, it is water based and comes clear. I used a brown paint that I had and mixed it with the glaze until I got the right color. (Always test on a spare piece you have painted) That's it! Good luck with it all. If you have any questions, please email me, I'll be happy to help.
