Oktoberfest

My darling girl is growing like a weed!  I typically don’t buy clothes during the ‘back to school’ shopping days, because she has consistently had a growth spurt in late September/early October each year.   I still have clothes from last year, but pretty much for the past 2 weeks we have found something that doesn’t fit each day- t-shirts from the summer, pants from last year, and shirts from last year.  Last Sunday I had Meredith get shoes for church, and no shoes fit.  Even little ballet flats we bought a month ago are now too small.  She was down to just tennis shoes.  I should have known when she was eating two big waffles and applesauce each morning for breakfast!  We spent part of the weekend stocking back up. 

We also spent last weekend joining our local Oktoberfest with my parents.  I am first generation German, so it’s something that I want to share with Meredith.  She had a great time.  Since she tends to like to observe things first before participating, she wouldn’t polka with me, but said maybe next year.
