Field Trip

Yesterday we took the girls to the Kimball Art Museum to see the Impressionist exhibit. It was amazing to see these works of art up close! Monet's "Water Lilies" was my favorite. The girls weren't quite as excited as I hoped they would be. They were the only children there...hmmm? We did get to enjoy a scrumptious dinner at Pappasitos! My absolute favorite~and it did not disappoint! We hadn't been there since my birthday in July, so I was pretty excited. In fact, we'll be eating it again tonight, seeing as how I brought home about half of my fajitas! Yummy! And I don't have to cook!

We are headed to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday after McKenna's soccer game~should be fun!

Have a great day!!

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty in now on DVD! Caris is beyond excited~she has been counting down the days until it would be in her little hands. And Mrs. Brenda was kind enough to pre-order it for her birthday, so all I had to do today was pick it up! Excellent! Of course, it was the first thing that Caris wanted to do after school today! And she wanted to watch it by herself, not with McKenna. While picking it up, I bought them each a T-shirt; SB for Caris and Tink for McKenna. The one for C is too big, but it was all they had!
Besides that I made a trip to Costco, where I scored a great deal on toothbrushes! I know, pretty exciting, huh? But I got 8 for $6.97! They are normally almost $3 a piece at Wal-Mart or Target! That was my deal of the day. But, it is hard for me to go there and not want to buy something from the bakery items. Goodness! I bought a pack of mini cinnamon rolls and they look delicious!
Have a great day!

It's Back!!!!

The Office, that is! We are super excited!! First and foremost, it's hilarious!!! Seriously one of the funniest shows e-ver! Catch the reruns on TBS sometime!! Secondly, this is only one of two shows that Chris and I watch together, the other being The Amazing Race-which begins on Sunday-yea! I'm not including the Huskers or Cowboys, because those are events, not shows. Speaking of, Huskers will be on Saturday night! We'll finally be able to see them! We've had to listen to the games online so far this season. Go Huskers!!!

Have a great day!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

First Day of First Grade!!

Well, it is official! McKenna is in first grade! She started on Monday! However, it was very quiet when we got home from taking her to school!

Two comments:

From McKenna~ "Mom, did you miss all of my questions while I was at school?"

And later...

Me~ "So, it sounds like you had a good day."

McKenna~ "It wasn't just good, it was amazing!"

So, its just me and Caris until school starts for her next week. She has been wanting me to play...alot. Like tea party, beauty salon, dance recital...etc! Today she came into the living room with the saddest face. When I asked what was wrong, she said "I miss Sissy." Awwww!!

We are planning on tiling our bathroom this weekend~sounds like a fun way to spend the holiday!

Have a great day!

My Baby is Four!

It's hard to believe that four years ago today, Caris was born. It seems like yesterday! Caris is sweet, dramatic, sensitive, funny and a cuddler. Does anyone in the world love Disney Princesses as much as Caris? It would be hard to believe! She loves to dance and watch herself in the mirror. And she loves her big sister! She has been excited for this birthday for weeks now. But one of the first things she said was-"after I'm four, I'm gonna be five!" So we will celebrate her birth today and all of the blessings that she brings to our lives. I know God has big plans for her and I can't wait to watch as each day as she continues to grow! I love you my Bug!!!

Have a great day!

PS-The Olympics rock!

McDonaldLand Cookies

Do you remember them? There was always a bag in your Happy Meal...Well, they are my favorite cookie, besides chocolate chip, and you can't find them anywhere here!! They all sell the "made-from-scratch" ones. This past January, I found them in Kansas~at a McDonald's on the turnpike. So, on the way back, I bought 5 bags. They would need to last until June, when I went through again. Barely made it! So, in June I bought another 5 bags~gone! My wonderful Dad drove up to KC last Friday and stopped and bought me 3 bags! Sadly, there are now only 2 bags remaining. Does anyone know where you can buy them in the DFW area? In Kansas, they aren't on the menu, you have to ask for them! Let me know if you have some information! They're so yummy!
