A Mama And Her Divas

The gorgeous weather of the last couple of days can mean only one thing.  It's pedicure season.  And as such it seemed only fitting that we had to our favorite place to get our nails done and kick this season off in style! So, that's exactly what we did!

Even at their young ages the girls are seasoned professionals!

One of the many perks of being homeschoolers: being the only kids at the salon during the week!

Isn't this such a fun pink color?

And seriously, Target need to make these super cute sandals in my size! Adorable!

It was such a lovely way to kick off our day! Adorable new sandals and super cute new toes are indeed the perfect way to celebrate the warmer weather we've had the last couple of days.

Chocolate Spa Day

One of the Girl Scout Troops in town was holding a Chocolate Spa Day fundraiser to raise money for their upcoming trip to Washington DC.  With things like deocrating cupcakes, chocolate facials and getting their hair done on the agenda I knew that this was just the kind of event that Grace and Emma would love.  We signed up (along with a few other girls from their troop) for an appointment yesterday afternoon. 

Cupcakes were decorated, 

Chocolate body scrub was made, 

Chocolate facials were given, 

 nails painted,

Hair was braided,  

And curled. 

It was an absolutely fabulous afternoon! 

Mani-Pedis

Dave's mom came up to visit for a few days last week.  She arrived Wednesday night after the girls were in bed and stayed until Sunday (with Dave's Dad coming up on Saturday to join the fun).  On Thursday after the girls swimming lesson we took them to the nail place at the mall.  I had taken Grace once a couple of years ago and we had not been back since.  Meaning that Em had never been. Grandma Joan was thrilled to get to be part of this first for Em, and we all had a blast getting our nails done on what was a rather grey afternoon.  Just like Grace did two years prior, Em initially sat there intently watching as her nails were clipped, buffed and painted.  We had a fabulous time watching these two little girls with their magazines sit there like all the other ladies at the salon.  It was indeed a wonderful adventure and one that we'll never forget!
