The Weekend Report: The PRICE of it all

 Kicked off Friday bright and early with this girl... sporting our blue hair extensions... obvi! :) We went somewhere special (and VERY EXPENSIVE) but more on that perhaps in another post...

On Saturday we gals had plans with CountryMum aka Fancy Nancy :) for her to treat Minnie for a beauty treatment for her birthday. I made an appointment for it weeks ago...Minnie was so excited and I was too apparently... I didn't take ANY GROUP SHOTS and I am SO SADMAD! :(

But I did get these before and afters of a lash lift and tint... should it be something that any of my 4 blog readers would be interested in... hee hee hee
Minnie's eyelashes are something she takes pride in ;) so they already look AH-MAYZING without anything on them...

It took about 40ish minutes... starting with separating all those pretty lashes and "perming" them sort of... 
Minnie was a trooper because her left eye has a bruise on it from oh.... walking into.a.wall. *insert eye roll* pun totally intended

Then it was time for the "tint". Her lashes are pretty dark as it is but she LOVED this part and how they came out... she's a HUGE fan of the tint!

After:


Side by side: Before/After
When we left the salon/spa we headed out for lunch... ladies who lunch... we took Nana over to the girl's favorite restaurant and again... SO SAD these were the only two pics :(

Minnie throwing DOWN this burger... she was so happy....girl didn't TALK for a solid 15 min! :) hahaha

Peep Miss B... I wish I had gotten her whole smile... I know it was AMAZING...
We all had an AMAZING time together and got home for some down time before...

The "twins" came over to hang before heading out for a Youth Group event...

Basketball... obvi....


We dropped them off and they had a BLAST... glow bowling...

On Sunday JJ texted and asked if we wanted a big HUGE TV he had just fixed... um... Husband and Minnie were both... YAH!!!! Fun to have him hanging, setting up technology (his fav) and watching Ho-Han's team WIN!!

PHEW... Good weekend... fun family time... and here comes BASKETBALL!!!

The LONG Weekend Report

 "Someone" got brushed... 

not mentioning any names....



Someone(-s) camped out in front of TV's and in my bed....
and some ONE got a deer!


Minnie helps with the "process" and Miss B just pats it, says thank you, gets excited for "MEAT" and returns to the couch...


NOT a fan of this time change....

Veterans Celebration

Last week our school held it's annual Veterans Day Celebration... I was in charge of flowers and realized I did not have vases big enough for the bouquets... whoopsie... Insert Sky and Josie (no pic) but they ran some right over to my school for me so I could get busy....

Our 5th graders always have the opportunity to serve the amazing breakfast that is done by our nutrition department...

YUM!

and we had a WONDERFUL turnout...



LOVE the bunting addition this year...


Proud kiddos!

BOTH parents are Veterans!


"Besty" did over and above with the gift bags...

they included coffee, a gift card, a framed picture of the entire school (minus the secretary and the naughty child I was watching) and these BEAUTIFUL cookies made by my friend Maggie.

Our NJROTC came to present the colors and it was (from what I heard ~ again with the babysitting) an amazing assembly. 

We had a "Red, White and Blue" spirit day and when one of my teachers showed up wearing NOTHING of those colors and was asked about it... she said "I wasn't feeling very Patriotic".... um... what? TOO BAD... this day is set apart to celebrate the FREEDOM that you HAVE to be ABLE to "feel" whatever you want... I am SO grateful....
