This Little Piggy Went Where????

I heard Mary Rose yesterday singing to herself, so I sat down beside her to see what she was singing. She was singing, "This little piggy went to TARGET, this little piggy stayed home." I think it is official now, I spend way too much time at Target. :) Love to you all, Dawn

GNO and the lichterman nature center

Emma and I recently had a girls night out just the two of us. We were celebrating a week of homework with no tears. Yeah!!! We got all dressed up and had a great time!! Today we went to the lichterman nature center. I haven't been there since I was a child. It was really fun! They had a lot of crafts to do with the kids and an obstacle course where they pretended to be birds. They had a live animal show where they got to pet a snake, a pigeon, a BIG bullfrog and a possum. YES a possum. I thought that one was gross, but the others were pretty neat. The kids all had to raise their hands when they had a question. Mary Rose figured she had to as well, but she could only think of one question . She kept asking, "does them have teeth?" She asked this about every animal. The man was really nice about it and answered yes each time. She thought she was really big!! On Wednesdays they have raindrop kids for 3-5 year olds where they learn about animals and make a craft. Mary Rose and I will be there Wednesday if anyone wants to join us! Love to you all, Dawn

Oh Deer!!!

We went to the W.C. Johnson Park today in Collierville with some friends. The kids had the day off school. We went walking in the woods  and we got up close and personal with some deer, we rode bikes, we fed the ducks, and had a great time!! We plan to go back really soon! love to you all, Dawn

Spirit Week

        This was too funny not to share. The girls had spirit week at school this week. One of the days, Emma's class had to dress up as a famous person who wears a hat, and Abby had to dress up as a character in Peter Pan. For Family home evening, the family made Emma a Cat in the Hat costume. It was mainly Chad's idea. I thought it was hilarious. Today they had to dress as celebrities. Emma was Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean and Abby was Miley Cyrus.  Chad thought Emma's missing tooth added a lot to her costume!:)

Girls Just Want To Have Fun!!!

 We just got back from a fun weekend  in Nashville. We had a free weekend, so my mom and I headed out of town with the girls. We went to the Adventure Science Museum, The Rain Forest Cafe and to the Opryland Hotel. The girls had a great time! They loved all of the activities at the museum. Emma was the only one who would try out the moon walk. She said it was fun, but the straps hurt her shoulders. They had an inertia lesson where the kids could pull on some ropes and pulleys to lift a full sized car. It was hilarious watching Mary Rose do it!! I promised them we would go see the dancing waters at the Opryland Hotel, we went there  Sunday Morning only to find out that they only do the dancing waters at night time.  Oh well, I tried!! They still had fun dancing under the gazebo. I loved hanging out with them and watching my mom have so much fun with them too!! Great trip! love to you all! Dawn

Why They Have Mirrors in Restaurants and the Twins

When we were eating lunch at Macalisters, I asked Emma why she thought they had a mirror in the restaurant, she said so that people could see if they had anything in their teeth before they left. Anna brought the twins for a visit over the weekend. They were fussy a lot, but they did enjoy going out on the town. Emma read them a book and we took them for barbecue. Could life be any better?? Love to you all, Dawn
