Girly Girls







Put me in the outdoors and I can hang with the best of them. If God had given me boys, I was also known as the queen of kickball, can throw a pretty good forward pass, love to fish (if Todd gets the fish off for me), can totally do the khaki/jeans as attire and generally am ok at most boy things. BUT>>>>>> God, in his great wisdom, decided to take a perfectly fine boy Mom (me) and the testosterone charged Dad (Todd) and place 3 little angels in their care. Believe me...I question this decision often. My girls are short-changed, to say the least, in getting me for their Mom and Todd does not have a girly bone in his body. So, I was Mom Extraordinairre last Friday when I did the "girl" thing as best that I could. We went to a make-up store (who knew they had one in Fort Smith), got Tara's ears pierced, and Nene took them to the nail salon to get their nails done. I bought everyone glitter make-up and tried to act like I knew what to do with it. Hannah said "What's up with you Mom?" several times. I fixed my hair and dressed up for the luncheon and wore heels without taking them off for the whole 3 hours! Man, being a girl is a lot of work!!!

Labor Day Fun





We had a great weekend at the lake house in Hot Springs with Papa, Re, Dan and Sara and Cortney got to come along too. The girls had so much fun swimming, paddle boating, tubing, going to eat pizza by boat on the lake and then there was the nightly poker games. They all decided to play and wore their sunglasses to make it look really professional. Of course Kayla beat them all, but Cortney had a good bluff on them many times.
