Girls Night Out

With the boys gone to the fathers and sons camp out, the girls and I decided to have a little party!  We had such a fun time!  It made me realize how lucky I am to have two girls who will (hopefully) be my best buddies for the rest of our lives.  We started off the night with the choose-your-own toppings frozen yogurt bar.  My girls were in heaven!   

Mmmmmm....sour gummy worms and sprinkles on ice cream.

Then we went in search of a 'hidden' miniature golf course we had heard about.  It was tucked way back behind some buildings and looked pretty old.  When we went to pay, there was no one there.  You just slid your money in a slot and then picked up your own clubs and balls. We were the only ones there!  There was such a cool retro feeling. It looked as though nothing had changed in 50 years.  I fully expected a golfer dressed in Brady-bunch clothes from the 1960's to come and hang out with us.  This course was full of tricks and gimmicks, which my girls loved.  They just don't make courses like this anymore.  We had a blast and couldn't stop smiling!

Everything was homemade.   Here we are posing with the totem pole hole.

Last Days of School

May is always such a busy, crazy month for us, but it sure was filled with lots of fun end-of-the-school year activities.

There were performances...

Gracie's patriotic performance-she did awesome!

Sophie's Kindergarten Program....she sang her little heart out!  Here she is with Mrs. Kendrick.

This year, Gracie also tried out for the school talent show and made it!  She performed "Cruella D'Ville" on the piano and wowed us all!

She even wore her dalmatian earrings in honor of the song :)

Sophie and I (and all the Kindergarteners) also got to practice eating school lunch, too!

Sophie is SO excited to go to 1st grade and eat lunch at school.  I'm not so sure I'm very happy about all this growing up!

A delicious meal of corn dogs and tator tots.

And we can't forget about Ben and his beloved ABC school buddies!

We wrapped up the year with a month of field trips.  We went to the zoo, the park, rode the city bus, and even went to the fire station!  What a great time we had this year with his buddies!
