The Parade

I'm a Barbie Girl

 The goodie bags

 My balloon garland.   I worked really hard on these.   I had 6 kids to help blow up all 50 balloons!

 Roses on pencils that are made out of duct tape.   I will definetly make these again for teacher gifts!    I think these 6 year olds loved them!

 Our matching vintage barbie shirts

 The birthday girl!

 Barbie even came to the party.   It was great- she told them a story, played games, went on a treasure hunt, and did balloon animals and makeup.

 Craft time- they love to do Mosaics

 The kids making bowls out of perler beads that you melt in the oven

We swim almost everyday- Caroline loves to bring her babydolls to the pool in their stroller.



Caroline and her babies- Kit, Smelly & Baby Sara.   She had them all set up and came and asked me to take her picture.

The kids riding go carts- they loved it.

 The girls got their hair cut!

We went to the DAC for their 4th of July party and the kids loved the snowcones and cotton candy.

 Fireworks on the boat!

 Grandma Karen and the girls at the lakehouse for the 4th

Kirt & I got to fo to the Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw concert in June- we had such a great time!

Downtown Fun

 Emerson got a Karaoke machine this week!    Constant entertainment!   She loves it!   And we love it because it is great to have something she values to take away when she disobeys!   

 We took the kids down to Uptown today and had lunch at Wild About Harry's- gourmet hot dogs (if there is such a thing)

 Then we rode the Trolley around downtown.   They loved it.

 Meredith & I

 We went to West Village for gellato at Paciugo.   The kids still pick their ice cream flavors by what color they are.    Caroline was not crazy about the watermelon one.
