Pictures, Puppies, and Plays

Julia had photogenic pictures made for Future Little Miss Enterprise today. We got her done this morning so I took some pictures after she was done with her official pictures. She looked gorgeous!

 

The girls have been begging to take Caddy on a walk. Since it was a nice afternoon out I gave in today.  Some of my favorite quotes from are walk:

•  "Charlotte, I'm a champion dog walker" - Julia
• "Mom, Caddy is not just cool. He's AWESOME!" - Charlotte

Charlotte found her necklace that she made at the Pastor's PJ Party. 

I've given the girls two days to clean their playroom and they've made no progress so this afternoon I locked the playroom door and told them it would stay locked for 2 days and then we would see if they could clean it up.  Charlotte apparently didn't like that because she went to our bedroom and shut and locked our bedroom door! Then tonight mom came over and they were telling her about the playroom being locked. Mom told them that maybe next time they would clean up the playroom. Charlotte responded "Or, maybe next time you'll come over and clean it for us". That child keeps us on our toes!

After dinner tonight Julia was acting out Bible Stories for us. In the picture below she was playing a Shepard. She even used a clothes pin to attach the lamb to the blanket so it would follow her!

I am so glad Julia is feeling better. She get's to celebrate her very own 100th day of school tomorrow!

Pastor PJ Party

Julia is still feeling under the weather today so Michael stayed home with her.  I did bust her out of the house to go pick up Charlotte this afternoon. This was the fashion statement that she made!

Tonight was the Pastor's PJ party at church. Julia stayed home to make sure she didn't get anyone else sick, but Charlotte was excited to go.

Charlotte's fashion statement of the day!

 Layla & Charlotte - also known as Trouble!

The 3 year old class with Brother Ben.

Julia seems to feel much better this evening so I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day!

Boo Boo's

Charlotte was carrying her blanket tonight and slipped on it and hit her head on the corner of the wall. She has a decent little goose egg, but she's definitely milking it for all it's worth!

Hippity Hop

Charlotte is taking two dance classes this year, ballet on Thursdays and a hip hop class on Mondays. She got her hip hop costume today. I think she likes it, especially the sparkles! I can't wait to see her on stage!

Rock Collecting

Julia had a meeting for Future Little Miss Enterprise pageant today.  After the meeting I was standing in the parking lot talking and she collected a handful of rocks. When we got home she got this cutting board out and began sorting the rocks by color and shininess. She even watched YouTube vidoes on "classifying rocks".

She's so proud of her rock collection! 

Belle of the Wiregrass

Julia and I got up early this morning, fixed her hair, and headed to Dothan for interview for Future Little Miss Belle of the Wiregrass. We had to be in Dothan at 8:00 so it was an early morning but she was still excited for pageant day!

 

After interview we hurried home, got Julia's hair done, went home, curled Charlotte's hair and headed back to Dothan. Nonny and GranDi went with us for moral support and help! Sarah also did her solo for entertainment during the pageant.

 

I don't think these two girls could have looked any prettier! 

 I was on stage with Charlotte so unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with her, but I was able to get a few of Julia. I was SO proud of both girls. Julia was crowned Future Little Miss Belle of the Wiregrass and Charlotte was 3rd runner up in Tiny Miss Belle of the Wiregrass.

3rd runner up!

I was so proud of these girls and I think they were pretty proud of themselves too!

Charlotte's First Dance Costume

Charlotte got her first dance costume today! They're Elsa dresses and their song is "I Love Getting Dressed with Tea" from the Disney Princess soundtrack.

After dance tonight Charlotte got quiet which is usually not a good sign. I found her "washing the bathroom" with a towel and toilet water!!

She was so guilty and so proud of herself. She certainly keeps us on our toes!

Charlotte Says the Darndest Things

Tonight we were in the car on our way home from church. Julia was singing a Frozen song with the radio and getting into it with hand motions and facial expressions. I told her she was a really good singer. She responded with "Thanks. I think I might want to be a singer when I grow up". (On a side note, this is the first time she's ever said she wanted to be anything not related to horses!) Charlotte pipes in, "when I grow up I want to do the dishes. I'm going to do the dishes every day". The girl's got high ambitions! HAHA!

Everything is Better with Glitter!

Hippity Hop

We had the day off from school and work, but Charlotte still had Hippity Hop this afternoon. I got to take her which was a treat since I'm usually at work when she goes.  I think she may like this more than ballet, who would have guessed?!
