Big Girl Boo

Well, the day has come and gone. It started out with Erica being the only one who could pick the movies we watched. Then, slowly to Erica, her two best friends showed up to hang out. They played, made noises I'm sure only dogs could hear, watched Harry Potter and impatiently waited to go to dinner. I told them "anyone can order a pizza, we're going out". They loved it! I promised their moms that I would bring them home afterward, good thing I gave them a good idea of when, I didn't escort the ladies home until 10:30. They had fun! But right now, I want to go to bed.


Eating a whole bag of doritos, waiting for the daddy to come and babysit the little siblings, and then to get hair and make-up done. I only put on a little eye shadow and blush, but they all wanted their hair curled for their 'night out on the town'.




























For whatever reason no one wanted to sit beside me. But that's ok, I got to take some funny photos and video of them. Too bad I can't get the video to upload! You'll just have to take my word for it.









































The loot! Her friends got her the perfect gifts. And Grandma got some great things to make her room all her own. Can't wait to get started.






















































Really tired girls, but too interested in the movie to let those eyes close (it was close to 10 by this picture). I told the moms I would get the girls home some time.... just wasn't too specific.

Random Bits

Erica started this sunflower at school and brought it home with two weeks left of school. It was only a few inches tall and a pencil was thicker than it was. When we transplanted it I piled mulch around it to keep it from saggin over.....



















Can you believe that it's gotten so big so fast!? It's now taller than me... but I guess you could have figured that out since it's as tall as the door.

This is what you look like three days after you fight a battle with the rocking chair and lose. I didn't notice the black eye until it started to heal. She had another bruise on her haid that her hair covered.

This is a happy baby eating dinner, the mess after required a bath.



We got this little visitor after a hard rain. He was just mindin' his own when Erica started to freak out. So of course I took pictures.

He scared Erica, even though he was on the outside.

Peace in the home while watching a movie requires the whole couch.... and their favorite blankets, of course.

She's getting her education on remote use early.




He does still take a nap every once in a while. He's just not always happy when he wakes up. Especially when his sisters help wake him up.
