Sister time on video

Day at the park

We met some friends at the park this morning for a playdate. It was Elle's first park date (since it's been SOO hot, we've avoided outside playdates all summer). I think she liked it :o)

What quiet looks like

Scarlett with milk, puppy and blanket and Elle with genius dome. Quiet for me!Scarlett and that "phone" of hers :o)

Yum

It begins! Elle has found her hands and anything you put in them...straight to the mouth!

Girl's Day

Cameron went with buddies to the LSU game today, so Scarlett, Elle and I had girl's day. Of course Cameron says EVERY day is girls day around here, but hey, we had a girly girl's day today :o) After Cameron left, the girls and I went to Target for a little shopping. When we pulled in the parking lot, Scarlett said "Mom, this isn't girl's day - this is TARGET!". I had to explain that "girl's day" wasn't an actual destination - it was doing fun things together. So after Target and nap we made cookies with pink icing and sprinkles, went to Chickfila for dinner then finished up the day with watching Strawberry Shortcake princess something something (I don't know...we found it at Target and Scarlett loved it...obviously). The only thing we didn't get to was doing our toenails, so we'll do that tomorrow. Here's a few pictures I took this morning. Well, more than a few, but they are all so cute that I couldn't pick.

This one was actually last (they uploaded in reverse) - They were DONE!

Just like old times

My friend Annie came to visit today with her 3 precious little boys! It was just like old times...just with 2 1/2 times as many kids :o) We've missed them so much since they moved to the other side of the lake!

"Rapunzel makes me feel better"

Scarlett had her flu shot after school today. I KNEW it was going to cost me, so we asked her yesterday what she wanted as a prize for getting a shot. She said the big soft Rapunzel from the princess store. So Elle and I trekked it to the mall this morning to get Rapunzel. Scarlett was a little fiesty this afternoon, but with Rapunzel making repeated appearances, she behaved herself. I took her with me to watch me get my flu shot, then she was all over going to her doctor to get hers. She sat on the table and even laid back and watched the nurse do the shot. As soon as it hit she screamed, then whimpered for a good half an hour or so. "It hurts, it HURTS...but 'Punzle makes me feel better". She also required a Barbie bandaid over the boring one from the doctor and had to hold her princess cold pack on her leg for awhile. Oh, and a green sucker.

This poor bunny is too little to know the art of working mommy and daddy...but she's got a good teacher, so I suspect it won't be long she'll be showing off prizes from shots too.
