It was there give away for mothers day!Then we all slept.....Ahhh

Having a Picnic

The girls had a picnic with their stuff animals. They pretty much emptied my pantry.

Hilton Head

We had a great trip! The car ride was not bad and the girls did really well.

Dinner at Marley's

we found a star fish!

we took pictures on the beach

We took the girls to a bakery across the street then had breakfast on the beach.

It was beautiful and very quiet.

Liz and Todd rented a house with a pool so we would get together for dinner and the kids would swim. They had lots of fun!

This was at our pool by our condo complex

Checking out the sights for the day. We went to a great little area that had shopping, playground, lighthouse, and harbor.

Eating ice cream at the Salty Dog Ice Cream Shop

the playground had a huge tree house

Gracie was a huge help and the girls loved playing with her!

One night the "young adults" got a night out! It was fun, and felt like old times.

This is Tracie and I. She is a friend from school who was down there at the same time with her family. People at school say were sisters? What do you think?

This was OUR "SITUATION"

St. Patricks Day

Fun with Cousin Fisher!

Ariel's Grotto

I had a little play date with a couple of Olivia's friends. She wanted an Ariel party so I bought a few party accessories and made Ariel's Grotto in the basement. It was a huge hit and the girls loved it! The streamers are actually two shades of green but they look green and yellow. That's supposed to be seaweed. Then I blew up 50 balloons for the water. My finger is raw from tying the balloons. It was all worth it when Liv went down there with a huge smile on her face!! :) It was pretty much for Maddie too! She loves Ariel.

Seaweed and Water

The girls ate in the grotto and of course watched The Little Mermaid

Chloe, Maddie (showing some skin), Madeline, Olivia

They made their own sundaes for dessert!

I think they had more sprinkles than ice cream when they were all done!

Maddie is missing from the photo because after lunch she asked to lay down. She must have been tired because they were having fun and she went upstairs, put quiet music on so the "big girls" wouldn't wake her up, and laid down. She slept through the rest of the party.

Liv got some great presents! Mom and Dad gave her a Polly Pocket Pool! She has been asking for this for about 3 weeks. Chloe gave her a pool for her Zu Zu. We set that up right a way and watch sparkles(the zu zu's name) run through all the parts that we already have. Madeline got her paper balls to hang from the ceiling in her room. She asked to do that but that requires some planning on moms part. They will make great accessories to her room!

playing with the Polly Pocket Pool!

After her friends left Livi went downstairs to play with her toys but then got upset with mom when I wouldn't pull hair off of her finger. Just a little sensitive, so we went down for a nap. It was a great play date! Thanks to Lindsay, Madeline, Chloe, and Sara for coming and the great gifts!
