Girl Day!

Yesterday I had a fun "girl day" with my two favorite girls.  Eric was in a golf tournament for work, so the girls and I had most of the day just the three of us.  That morning Ella told me that she wanted to go shopping to get a new toy with some money from her piggy bank.  So after a yummy breakfast (cinnamon rolls - their favorite!), we counted all the money in everyone's piggy banks.  The girls hunted for their purses and we were off for a fun morning at our favorite place - Target of course!

Is it just me, or does she look 12 in this picture?!

We had fun cruising around all the aisles and the girls are SUCH GREAT shoppers!!!  I love being out and about with them!   =)   They each decided on a "Fur Real Friend" pet.  It was good for them to be able to try to pick something out that was only in the price range of what they had.  I was very proud of them!  Ella also spotted the gift she has been wanting for Christmas (she has been talking about it for months already) so Santa might go back soon and get it to put away till Christmas.    We also found a really cute Halloween craft thing that is made from foam.

After getting home the girls played with their new pets and then they had fun decorating the Halloween Tree that we had gotten. (That was the foam craft.)

The girls with their craft and "pets".

Eric got home later that afternoon and they had fun sharing their "girl day" adventures with him.  Then that night we had Family Movie Night.  The girls have been waiting anxiously for Rio to come on Netflix, and finally it did.  So after dinner and baths, we turned out all the lights (like a movie theater), got everyone set up with snacks (popcorn for mommy and rice krispie treats for the girls), and then I surprised the girls with glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces.

It was such a fun night!!!  What a wonderful family day!
