What's On My Happy List?

7-11's birthday! 

Last Monday night, after playing front yard baseball for FHE, {minus one kid who was throwing a fit...yes, that does happen around here on occasion} we went to go get our free Slurpee's. When we got to our neighborhood 7-11 they had already given out 1,000! They were out of free cups... so we had to BUY ours.  whatever 7-11! so not cool.

Sidewalk chalk creations with Hannah and Kate!

Creativity! 

The YW made capes out of pink and zebra print duct tape for their upcoming camp skit. Kyleigh and Emma added bling, ribbon and flowers made out of zebra print cupcake wrappers....they can use them as aprons after. so cute.

Lunch date!

Kyleigh volunteers on Thursday mornings where daddy works. After Kyleigh's shift this week we met them for lunch at the hospital. We love eating at the hospital!..they really do have good food and the best cookies around.

Harry Potter! 

Kyleigh and Emma went to see the final Harry Potter movie with the neighbors.

Shake Spree!

We did this last summer and it was a hit! So it was a must do again. We go on a shake run to five different places. We order just one shake at the drive thru and then we all share and rate. We all have our opinion on who has the best chocolate and or strawberry shake around. Daddy was away on an overnight fishing trip so it was just us girls. We finished the evening watching Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. We were a little spooked! {Nothing like a little neighborhood murder before bedtime.} A sleepover with mom was the end result.  

Tennis!

Brie's tennis outing with dad...

My favorite day of the week!

Have I told you how much I {and Kate} love Sundays?

Yes, that would be my child today... completely exhausted, and in desperate need of a nap, who plopped herself on the church foyer floor blocking the door to the Sunday School room.

{I half can't blame her. I feel like doing that too sometimes!}

 I'm out in the hall with her all the time. Did I mention all the time? And Dad is the lucky one who frequently gets to take her home early. Kate and church do not get along well. at all.

Other happenings in the last week or so....

Brie's trip to the Zoo with her best friend.

Finished the Larkrise to Candleford Series. Oh my goodness! One of the best things I have ever watched. {EVER} absolutely delightful!

Both Brie and Hannah lost a tooth!

Dad has started to wear a CPAP mask at night for his sleep apnea. {I feel like I'm sleeping with Darth Vader!} 

Helping Kyleigh and Emma pack for girl's camp. {Shoot me folks!} I hate to pack but I'm a pretty darn thorough packer. {girls would call it more like neurotic.} Despite my overanxiousness in this area, it is safe to say they haven't forgotten much. haha!
