Recap 2 (Post Hair Cut)...

Oy Vey! I so did these pics in reverse...oh well, I am too tired to deal with it! So just know this all happened in reverse, lol!

These girls live in their ballet attire! So much so that they even want to wear them to answer the door and pass out candy for Halloween!

Yes, this year they are going to do Halloween with their dad, so we are going to relax at home and pass out candy. I think it will be fun for them, they have never been on the other side of the treats!! This was our recent trip to the new Sweet CeCe's in Cordova, next to Bonefish. We have been to the one in East Memphis next to Chili's a couple of times, but Loren's daycare handed out fliers for the grand opening saying free yogurt!!! Can't resist if it's free! And thank God it was! These girls are heifers, and as much as I try to monitor their quantities, these type of yogurt shops make that really hard to do!

I snapped a pic of Miranda, below in her new outfit so Miss Loren wanted a pic too! Such a ham!
Now, this is one of the new outfits Miranda picked out at Target. I got her these cute little black ballet style flats at Payless to go with it for now, but I just can't wait to get some of those cute, black, boots for her to wear with this! How stinking cute will that be!! BOOTS or THESE.
Okay, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I am a firm believer that every girl, young and old should have a good pair of knee-high boots! LOL

Miranda had a science project recently on animals. She had to pick an animal and do a shoe box habitat and short speech on it.

She chose deer! We have yet to find out how she did and it's driving me crazy, you see Miranda was the only student in her class to do one the way she did.

My mother suggested we do a peephole diorama. It was so much fun. You put a hole in the side of the shoe box, arrange your habitat, facing the peephole, then cut a hole in the top and we put tissue paper over the hole. When you hold it up and look through the peephole it looks so neat!

After the girls got their hair cut I took them over to a new yogurt shop that we had been waiting very IMpatiently to open. It's Cool Bliss Yogurt in Cordova. By far my absolute favorite one we've been to. I got pomegranate and mango yogurt, LOVE! Even their seating was neat! You have to check them out for yourself to see what I mean! They have happy hour from 5-6, M-F and we will definitely be going back again!

Finally! We get to the hair part, lol. Miranda had really bad split ends, which is the whole reason we went to Sweet and Sassy in the first place. Miranda, however, refuses to let me cut her hair. She used to want to let it grow out like The Little Mermaid, but now I believe it is that long, and she has decided she wants it as long as Rapunzel from Tangled! Ummmm...NO! Momma can't deal with all that! So we will just let it stay this length, lol. She asked for bangs, I told her they would drive her crazy so we went for side swept as a compromise. Guess what...she hates them, they drive her crazy! (I hated telling her I told you so...nah, not really!)

Loren was just along for a trim as well, but her hair is so hard to handle and she constantly gets food in it! I have never seen anything like it in my life! So we decided, after a lot of discussion, to go with a cute inverted bob again. And while the girl did not do what I wanted at all, it is still adorable! So sassy!

I decided after this last visit to Sweet and Sassy that since they are not going to do what I ask anyway I am going to start taking them to Supercuts or Fantastic Sams again! Why not?! It's a whole lot cheaper! I'll just buy my own cotton candy hair spray for afterward, that's what they really like about it anyway, lol!

This past weekend we made an impromptu trip to the Avenue Carriage Crossing mall in Collierville. Thanks to East Memphis Moms blog, I found out last minute that they were playing Tangled on the square there. I was so excited to surprise the girls. (Love her blog btw and I follow her on fb. She lists all the events in and around town!)

Anyways, I didn't tell them a thing. We got there on time, very surprising for me! Unfortunately you need to get there early to get a good spot on the grass. We also didn't come prepared. Almost everyone brought camping chairs or blankets and food and drinks! They paint faces, give out candy, give out bubbles, etc. Then have a drawing for prizes before the start the movie on a big screen. The girls absolutely LOVED it!

Afterward we went to Mellow Mushroom, my favorite pizza place. The kids meals were all natural and very pricey! So we opted for a small pizza, four slices, with half Hawaiian and half sausage. The girls devoured it and we just danced to all the good music while in our booth and were silly and colored and chatted, so much fun! A wonderful night!

Saturday we tried going to the Shelby Farms Playground, but it was so very hot out that I didn't last long and the girls were covered in sand and declared they are over that playground, lol!

We decided to stop by my cousin's house again for the girls to play for a bit and then headed home so we could prepare for our chore chart reward! The girls did there chores so well all week that they got to rent a dvd from the Redbox. We had our movie and popcorn and my aunt Traci brought my cousin Katie's baby, Alyssa, over for us to finally meet. She was too cute and the girls both wanted to hold her. Of course once she started fussing Loren didn't want anything to do with her for the rest of the night and Miranda was upset, her feelings were so hurt because Alyssa cried every time Miranda tried to hold her. lol!

Sunday we went to church, we seriously attend an amazing church. Loren loves going and even gets onto me, "Mommy, we are going to be late if we don't go now!" Miranda said it was too loud in the Junior Life class so we quit going briefly and tried another church, but I was bored out of my mind by it and not feeling it!! Then I tried the other location of our church and while the same, I really like the friends I've made at our location we have been attending for almost two years. So Sunday we were back at our church home! I decided Miranda could just sit with me in the adult service. Miranda really liked going in with me and I, as usual was completely moved by the service! I learn so much when I attend church here that I know it's right for me! So Miranda will just keep going with me to the adult service, and she is very excited about this!

So much more I could update about but I am exhausted! Off to clean this house now! More posts to come soon! :)
