Princess for a Day...

What a fun weekend we had! The kids traveled to Kansas City with my parents to celebrate my niece Ellie's 5th birthday and here's a picture of the start of the party! I don't have the after photos yet. Ellie and Lydia went to a Kiddie spa where they had manicures, pedicures and their hair and make-up done. Then it was off to a fancy lunch--they wanted McDonald's but settled for the Dinosaur restaurant at Legends instead! Not a very girly place to eat, but lots of fun anyway! Thank you Aunt Gina and Uncle Kip for a great girly date and a super fun weekend! Oh, and Nana and Papaw too for letting the kids go along on your trip!

Mark said, hey if we are going to be kidless for a weekend let's get outta here! So we took off to St. Louis for the weekend and had a blast just shopping and hanging out in the big city. We saw the movie Leap Year too and it was sweet, funny, romantic, cute--my favorite kind of movie! Now it's back to the real world today with school, work, laundry, homework, schedules, etc. It was fun while it lasted, but as Dorothy says, "There's no place like home"! By the way, I bought the cutest plaque for my wall this weekend at Kirkland's that has that exact quote.
