Sara Day

Sara has been feeling a little down-in-the-dumps lately so Mike and I decided to surprise her with her own Sara Day this past weekend. We wanted it to be a surprise so we fibbed to her just a little bit. On Saturday morning we told her we were going to my mom and dad's house for lunch. As soon as we pulled up in the driveway we told her that we were leaving Emma with my parents and she, Mike and I were going to spend the day doing something very fun! What came next I totally expected (from me anyway)...TEARS and cries of NO! lol She hates surprises, just like her mommy, so it took a little convincing to get her out of her comfort zone but finally once we dropped off Emma and were on our way, she snuck in a few smiles. So our plan was to go Mini-golfing, lunch then taking her to get her ears pierced.

This is Sara when she finally realized she was special and it was HER day:

"I have something in my shoe!":




"I've got something in my shoe AGAIN!":


Ok, so after we were done golfing, Sara got overheated and got sick in the bathroom. So with a quick jaunt to grandma and grandpa's house to cool down and have a drink and a quick trip to Target for a new outfit, we were off to lunch!



Beautiful day on the water:

Back at G'ma and G'pa's house to pick up Emma and to show off her new earrings:


It was a great day I just wish she hadn't gotten sick in the beginning there. Oh well. We have planned to go back and do the bumper cars this time...only when it cools down.

Ok...here's what's appened since my last update. Sara graduated from Pre-school the end of May, Memorial Day, Emma's first birthday, the start of Summer, pool days, sick days, David Carrodine/Ed McMahon/Farah Fawcett/Michael Jackson and Walter Cronkite all died. More to come...

The lovely Chera once again captured the girls BEAUTIFULLY!

Splash park!

In the new Forney park there is a Splash Park that we tried out for the first time today. This was also Emma's first splash park experience. She wasn't that into it. The mist kept spraying her face and freaked her the freak out. All in due time I guess. Both her and Sara had a blast. I was hesitant about letting Sara do it because she JUST got over the flu and has a hacking cough still BUT we needed to get out!!!!! ha ha.

Emma started doing this....

...after she fell on her head. Sara...I have no excuse. Should I be worried?

OCD much?

Emma does NOT like this door to be open. If it is open she will stop whatever she is doing and crawl across the room just to shut it.

The Hornpipe a la Sara and the Wiggles

Raspberries!!

Nothing like a raspberry or 2 (or 10) from your big sister.

Art Show!

Sara's school put on an art show to show off all the work the kids have done all year. She was so proud to show us around and show off what she had made. Take a looksy! (Lots of pics included for Mom-Mom)
