last weekend craig took the boys skiing in colorado.
that meant our house was all girls.
we kept busy.
we curled hair and painted nails.
went to the mall and window shopped.
spent time looking at everything in claire’s boutique
bought ring pops to keep annie happy
talby spent some allowance here on littlest pet shop toys.
(check out that floor at limited too…it was awesome!
wouldn’t that be great in the craft room?
ohhh…sparkley pink floors!)
i let talby try on expensive princess dresses
just for fun!!
she loved that.
we had to try the sunglasses in every store.
we went to the movie “Nim’s Island”.
annie slept through it.
hey look there’s lauren…
she was with us but not really “with us” if you know what i mean.
sunday we had a long walk/bike ride to sonic
rewarded with hot fudge sundaes.
threw rocks in the creek
looked for frogs but didn’t find any.
other things we crammed in:
swimming at the hotel
pizza hut dinner
ride bikes to school
and lots of cuddling
it really was a great time…
but we were so glad the boys were back.
we missed them.
candy - Not sure how I found your blog, but I love it! It is so fun. 🙂 I made your stuffed shell recipe last night and it was wonderful! I’m going to post about it on my blog today. 🙂 YUMMY!! Thanks!
chris - That sounds great, really wonderful.
Holly - So much fun and how precious they look- even sourpuss over to the side (texting?)
I noticed the floor before I read it and it is so cool. I also noticed the unique combo that Talby put together- totally her own.
hipmomofboyz - oh how fun. Can I come to the next girls only weekend? What is that like? SInce I spent my weekend watching 6 baseball games……
Let me know when the next one is and I will bring the fingernail polish and ice cream
Jimaie - what FUN girl time, i love the curled hair, too cute.
and OOoo! the sparkly pink floors are my FAVE!! i want those in my bedroom stat. how purty!!!
traci - wow – you got tons crammed in one weekend. and it all looks like fun to me. i notice lauren looking at her phone or something right away. how cute and normal she is. i would have loved to join you on the walk/bike ride to sonic. love walks and last summer while at the cabin we enjoyed our first trip to sonic – yummmmmm!!
Liz - Ooops, somebody already said that. I meant to say what a fandabidozy weekend!
Liz - What a fab weekend!
kristin - oh, we’ll get one of these soon too.
fun stuff.
Kate of All Trades - How fun! A girls weekend around here would just be me and the cat. She hates the mall.
Jennifer P. - There are few times when i am not completely content with my all boys, but when I see fun girls-only weekends, I kind of wish I had some hair to curl :).
Thanks for sharing all the lovely photos. I agree you should really have a sparkly pink floor for your craft room!
mom - Talby looks so pretty and grown up in her princess dress. I think Melissa has the answer to your outings with Lauren.
Blanca - Looks like so much fun. What lucky girls and I totally get you on the oldest because I have one of my own. Mine is usually too busy texting away that is until she needs something from me. By the way talby looks so much like you.
Blanca
Brenis - How FUN!!!!!! 😀
You are such an awesome mom! I think I need to expand into “girly world” and do something like this with my girls!! Thank you for sharing it!
melissa @ the inspired room - Totally fun! Except for your oldest, I know how they “go along” because they have to be a part of the family. My girls have sat through more cartoons at the theater than they care to remember. It is so hard for them, and hard for mom to pull everyone together in any sort of activity everyone will enjoy.
Hey, one idea we used was that our girls could bring along a friend when we went places, even to the beach for a vacation. It made them SO much happier. I didn’t love the idea of extra kids on a family day until we tried it and saw that the mood was elevated and the moping stopped. We could focus on the younger one and the older ones entertained themselves.
In spite of it all, it sounds like your day was a blast! Love all the photos!
jessi nagy - now that’s a fab weekend!!!
oxooxx,
jessi
Lanny Stanard - I’m thinking you had a great girls week-end.
Love the pictures.
Lanny.
