Saturday is a favorite day...it's time to play with Daddy!!! After we get out Saturday chores done the girls do various activities with Daddy...and a new favorite is Nerf gun time.
After playing tag for several weeks daddy decided it was time to teach them capture the flag...go girls!!
I saw an old high school friend in the grocery store the other day...SO wonderful to see her!!! I mentioned that I loved her blog and that it has been great to keep up with her...and she reminded me that she would love to keep up on mine except I haven't been updating it. I vowed to update it. I won't mention how long ago that was, but it was awhile. Ooops. Anyways, I vow to be better.
The girls had a day off from school a few weeks ago and we decided to celebrate with a tea party for their dolls and animals. After their animals and dolls were properly dressed we moved onto the makeup party. The girls had oh so much fun putting way too much blue eyeshadow and other such stuff on. At times it was scary but they were in heaven. We haven't done this since we've moved out here so little A in particular enjoyed this experience, complete with nail polish which, thanks to proper training from Grandma, she knew should not only go on her fingers but also on her toes...
I love the casual position with her toes on the table :)
All ready for the party! After some great food and pink lemonade the girls (and their guests) were quite happy :)
Afterwards the girls put on a dance show for their guests and all proclaimed it to be a successful party and a great day off :)
And lest you get concerned for the welfare of these girly girls on another recent day off (which daddy actually had off, too) we went with Grandma up to visit Cabela's, a sporting goods store my mom has wanted to take us to for quite some time and it finally worked out for us to all go. Why the urgent need to visit a sporting goods store on a day off you ask? That place is awesome! We had not been there so the girls really loved the huge animal display (real stuffed bears and deer and tons of other animals...it was awesome!). They fed huge fish, walked through an aquarium, played in tents, etc. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures, but Daddy's favorite part was the shooting gallery :) You would "shoot" the snake and it would move around, the bear would come out of a trash can, the sign would fall down, etc. It was fun and the girls were very impressed with his shooting skills. Then they each got a turn with Daddy and I'm not sure who had more fun...
All in all it was a great outing and we can't wait to go back :)
