Back to School Shopping

Mom, Nana, Julia, Charlotte & I went to Dothan this morning to do some back to school shopping. Julia wasn't really feeling the shopping in the beginning, but before we left she was begging to go to the "real" mall (we only went to Belk) so she could look at all the clothes and pick some more out for Kindergarten! She got some cute new clothes!

On the way to Dothan Mom wouldn't let Charlotte have any of her Mountain Dew. This was Charlotte's reaction. She put her turtle over her eyes and pouted the whole way to Dothan! Mom finally offered her some and she still wouldn't take it! She just wanted to pout!

Julia and I walked out into the mall so she could "see all the clothes they had for Kindergarten". This bus was in the middle of the mall and she wanted her picture made with it. She posed all by herself and then told me to take one closer up so we could see her face better!

When we were leaving Dothan a realtor called and wanted to show our house this afternoon so Mom and I rushed home and cleaned the house. Prayers that she is our buyer!

After we cleaned the house we were running some errands and I let Charlotte look at pictures on my phone to try to keep her satisfied. Apparently my phone wasn't doing what she wanted it to do because she got frustrated and yelled "This damn phone won't work! What is wrong with it?!" I thought I was going to die, at least we were in the car where no one else could hear her! Just another reminder that her little ears hear everything!

Teacher Lists!

The list of kindergarten teachers was posted at EEEC today! After lunch we went by to see who Julia got. She got Amy Parker. I don't know her, but I'm sure Julia will love her! She can't wait for Open House to meet her teacher and new classmates! I know she's going to have a great year as a Kindercat!

Go Wildcats!

Christina called yesterday and asked Julia (and Charlotte) to be in an ad in the football program with Lilly. Julia was THRILLED to see Lilly and she got to spend the day playing with Lilly after we took pictures. They swam and "played everything" according to Julia while Charlotte and I had some Mommy/Charlotte time! It was a great Friday for everyone!

Hair Cuts and Tea Parties

I took Julia to get her first "real" hair cut today. She had the ends trimmed for the first time in February, but it was nothing major. Her hair has gotten so long and she hates to have it brushed so we went for a "real" hair cut today. I was doing ok until I looked at how much hair was on the ground!! She does look precious though, just like usual.

After!

Tonight Charlotte and I took her baby doll and had a tea party outside. I've been wanting to do a session like this with her since she and her baby got matching dresses for Christmas but I just haven't gotten around to it. I decided tonight was the perfect time. Charlotte loved it!

She was bouncing and shushing her baby. :)

I think this one might be my favorite! 

And of course one where her personality really shines through!

The Little Mermaid

GranDi treated all the girls to a trip to Montgomery to see The Little Mermaid at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. It was fabulous, as expected. Charlotte took about a 45 minute nap in the middle. She woke up and got right back into it like she hadn't missed a beat!

Julia did not like Ursala or Prince Eric's ship. She kept waiting for a pirate fight to break out on the ship! We had a little wall separating us from the section below. When Ursala was on stage she would sit on the floor and lean against the wall until she was off stage!

Such a fun girls day! We can't wait to do it again next summer with Beauty and the Beast!
