Spring Break

It has been Spring Break around here, and we sure have been busy. The word "break" does not describe it in any form or fashion, BUT it was worth every meltdown, every outfit change, and every photo session! Anna Kate and Katherine drove into town last Wednesday. While I was waiting on their arrival, I tried to get all domestic. Yes, I know it is Betty Crocker, but the fact that I cracked 3 eggs and got out the handheld mixer is HUGE. So, don't laugh.
We planned to go to Barney Live at Phillips Arena months ago. The girls have been so excited, and had been talking about it non-stop. Don't tell anyone, but I even used it as leverage a time or two to get Blair to behave ;) Anyway, the day finally arrived on Thursday, so we got on our pretty dresses and headed to the show. Later that day we practiced our driving skills in the jeep and blew some bubbles. Poor Blair. I thought she would almost need an oxygen tank! We "slept in" Friday morning, and went for a late morning visit to the park. Both girls were "smitten" in their shirts made by their Aunt TT. Lord, what would do without her? We had several compliments, and we told everyone to go here to purchase one :)
Pop and Mimi rolled into town Friday night just in time to treat everyone to dinner. Katherine and Blair were all juiced up by this point. We had one more photo shoot before heading out to dinner. Anyone want to guess how many special treats I gave out for each one of these pictures?
Pop and Katherine made friends pretty quick at the dinner table. We promised we wouldn't tell her GrandBobby so he wouldn't be jealous. She must just have an eye for who butters the bread. We thought Blair would have a panic attack if we didn't end the night with ice cream, so off we were for one more stop before heading home. So, that wraps up our visit. We had a wonderful time! Between fixing hair, learning to share, and pottying all over Atlanta in the back of my car, Anna Kate and I are gladly accepting donations for our spa weekend. No offer will be turned down ;)

Anna Kate said...

Thanks for hosting the Crowe chicks on SBK '11! It was definitely fun, and very memorable :) We miss the Verdis and cannot wait for our next adventure, because we know it will be wild! ha ha!!

Honey, if I had a dollar for every time I used something fun as leverage for good behavior we'd be beachside at Hot Press as we speak. When you have children it comes with the territory!

Loved all the pictures of your adventures...and thanks for the shout out! I would have no advertisement if it weren't for Blair and Katherine!!

Ummm.. it should be illegal to have two girls that CUTE! I mean.. look out Auburn in about 16 years!

Those two are so very precious...I don't see why you need to use anything as "leverage". I on the other hand am with TT...we would be living it up at Hot Press if we had a dollar for everytime it was used around the Grimes household!!
