Day Four of Spring Break School Vacation {Beauty Makeovers, Softball and Birthday}

ByKaren

Today was day 4 of the girls Spring Break.   It was so cold and windy today….. not crazy about this weather but it’s better than the rain we had yesterday!  At least the sun was out today. Today was Allison’s 7th birthday and she woke up very excited about the day.  But not just because it was her birthday but because we were going to Empire Beauty School for a day of Princess makeovers!!!  Holly and Allison were 2 of 8 girls, I mean princesses, that were going to get their hair, makeup and nails done! It went very well…. Allison ready to go! Holly started with her nails…. Allison got her hair curled…. Holly choose blue nail polish (of course, it’s her favorite color!)…

Day One of Spring Break School Vacation {Shopping}

ByKaren

  We are on school vacation this week and I promised the girls we’d do at least one fun thing a day but I do still have to work.  They love going to the mall, well Holly does (Allison prefers to not walk around too much) and they had some Easter money burning a hole in their pockets so we had to go spend it! Plus I needed to go to the Cox Cable store in the mall so it worked out well. But first we had lunch with my dear friend Luann and her daughter who happened to be in the area today.  I was so happy she called me because she hasn’t seen the girls in a long time because we usually get…

A Trip to the Disney Store at the Emerald Square Mall

ByKaren

While I was in California for the premiere of PLANES, I had a chance to visit the Disney store.  It was so beautiful and I love walking through that store.  We used to have one at the Warwick Mall but after the flood a few years ago, they never came back to the mall.  So the closest one is at the Emerald Square mall.  When I told Holly and Allison that I went to the Disney Store while in California, they asked if we could go to one someday before the summer was over.  Of course I said yes. Then all of a sudden the summer was coming to an end and we still had not gone to the Disney Store.   They were saving all…

Big Summer Adventure – Getting Their Ears Pierced

ByKaren

Holly has been hesitant for a while about getting her ears pierced.  But when she noticed her friend Katie had her ears pierced and had mickey mouse earrings, she decided she definitely wanted her’s done.  We had to wait until the summertime because her dance recital was at the end of the school year and she can’t wear earrings during the recital.  She was OK with this because that gave her time to digest the fact that she was going to do it. I am traveling for a bit this summer so in between my trips, Steve thought it would be a good idea to take Holly to have her ears pierced because she had mentioned a few times she really was ready to do…

Allison’s Kindergarten Birthday Party

ByKaren

Allison has the first of many birthday celebrations today.  Since it was school vacation this week, I figured it was the perfect time for her to have a party with some of her Kindergarten friends.  Since I have a boot on my foot and getting around is a big hassle, I convinced here to have the party somewhere else so mommy didn’t have to do all the work. We agreed with AC Moore for an Arts & Crafts party as long as she could do something with Zebra Print.  She was thrilled with the idea and couldn’t wait for the day to come. They did such a great job at AC Moore with the kids and I was very impressed with the party. The kids…
