Birthday Sleepover

On the evening of Friday, February 6th, our home was invaded. No, not by criminals, or insects, or little green men. We were invaded by the likes of six 4th grade girls.

Abigail invited over a gaggle of girls to celebrate her 10th birthday with a sleepover. Aside from the usual cake and presents, the festivities included a little Hide-and-Seek, a little DS game play, a little fun with walkie talkies, and a great deal of screaming. (So...much...screaming...)

Surprisingly, a fair amount of sleep was had by all (especially me, as I hid upstairs for quite some time). And everyone had a great time.

Happy Birthday, Abigail.

Congratulations Alex

Girl Time

Between Christmas and birthdays, the girls have built up a cache of gift cards for La Petite Spa and Salon. La Petite is a salon devoted to those 18 years and younger. So, this past Saturday, Mom, Abigail and Amanda headed on over for some girl time...

A little wash, a little snip, snip, a little curl, a little sparkle and voilà.
