Lunch time!

I will now admit to you that I took the entire first week of girlie's first week at school OFF FROM WORK. That's right, vacation time for me to stay at home and do nothing. Or shop, eat and shop more! :)

Thursday I decided to go have lunch with girlie at school. She was surprised to see me and loved that I was there to have lunch with her. I hope I can do it more times in the future.

I wanted to grab at least a few pics of the occassion.

Look at her face in this first one. That girl is nuts LOL
-

But then I asked for a better face and got this... much better LOL

Then we both smiled for the camera and I think she was posing the corn dog stick as well!

hehe

It was fun and I had wished with all the wishes I have that they were having the school pizza, as you can see I didn't luck up, but maybe next time. Notice that girlie chose the chocolate milk as well, her fave. I hate that I can't make sure she doesn't have it LOL At least she runs it off before she gets home.

I can't wait to do it again.

Camera Hog

I love that my girl loves the camera, but what I love most about her love of the camera is the pictures I just find on my camera when I'm uploading other pictures.


Like these, she took these when we had lunch one day last week at Red Robin

Seriously? LOL

Nearing looking drunk and like a crazy teenager. If this is a sign of things to come I'M IN TROUBLE!

HAHA PEACE!

But this is the winner. She cracks me up!

I love these little surprises when I'm uploading pictures. I have TONS of them but loved these enough to share! Isn't she a riot!?

First day of BIG GIRL SCHOOL!

Today my baby started Kindergarten.

I was so emotional over the past weeks about it, but believe it or not today I'm perfectly fine!

Missing her like crazy though!


My big big girl! (and her Bitty baby in her uniform too)



I love this one of her walking up to the school




and this one in the hallway

and this one with Ms. Poole

And this one as I was leaving. Clearly she could have cared less LOL

I love the little boy looking at her too hehe.

Ahhhh new adventures are in store.

I'm already so excited to hear about her day. She only has 1/2 day today so it won't be too much longer!

I can't believe my baby is old enough for kindergarten!

I'm so proud!

Preschooler gifts

Go over to my creative blog and see what I made Girlie's friends as a gift for their graduation. It was really easy and totally afforadable and OH SO CUTE, if I say so myself!



Go see HERE! :)

End of Preschool makeover

Friday after preschool let out early I surprised girlie with a makeover.


She had her nails painted...




Her hair washed/cut/styled :) complete with glittery face art.



then she had a pedicure fit for a princess. How adorable is that chair? I want one at home.

We forgot flip flops for after so they cut down the adult size to fit her, it was hilarious.

She had a great day. We followed up by shopping a bit and picking up a cookie cake for after graduation the next day.

I think celebrating her that day really made her happy! :) And I ADORE her new hair do!

Officially a Kindergartener

These pictures have already been emailed, facebooked, scattered, smothered and covered but I'm going to post them again!

This past weekend we celebrated a fun fun time. Girlie graduated from Preschool. My baby is now offically a kindergartener and will begin school on Thursday, my heart aches!

Look how big she is.

We are so very blessed to have the very best family and friends surrounding us during our celebrations.

Nannie (oh and Bitty, too as you can see)

Mamaw & Papaw

Aunt Shelly

and our close dear friends we consider family, the Robertsons, who are not pictured!

As the ceremony began and the slideshow of the year ended the Pomp & Circumstance played and I LOST IT!

My baby big girl, walking in. She seems very nervous to me.

They sang songs and had cute sayings they did and each child told what their favorite thing about the year was, with 90% of them saying "Playing outside" lol mine included.

At the end after it was all over, they played "Shake Your Groove Thang!" and the kids got down. It was adorable! Girlie took a minute to get going but she did a little.

My graduate!!!

We are such a proud Momma & Daddy!

We're so proud of her and so excited for this next step in her life. I know she will excel but it sure won't stop me from hunkering in the corner in fetal position for the first week of school. How can I be the Mom of a Kindy-gartener?

I have more to share, including fun pics from a surprise after her last day of preschool.

She's grown up so fast... can time stand still now?

Chicago - the rest of the story

The last part of my Chicago trip tale feels like it's straight out of a movie.
Oh wait, it IS straight out of a movie. Little did we know that while we were in Chicago they were filming a movie.

The scene set ups were everywhere and lots of places we weren't even allowed to walk, etc.

But this was the one we saw the closest. They set this up for a few days later...

This too, mass destruction by those bots!

Can you tell which movie they were filming by this picture?

(and if you are my friend on FB you already know so that's cheating)

It was Transformers 3. I can't wait to see it!

The last day we saw the coolest part. We were joyfully enjoying a walk on our last day and saw tons of people gathered and kept looking where they were looking and then

THIS happened (ignore the bird on the top of the pic, look half way down middle)

JUMPERS!

They jumped right off Trump tower, the VERY top people! Scary. After they landed you heard a bunch of gun fire and screeching, I can not wait to see this movie. It really will be something I was "part" of in a way.

I really have liked all the Transformers movies so far and I know this one will not disappoint. It was such a fun little addition to our amazing weekend getaway.

That's all I have about Chicago for now (and I think ever until going back hehe) but a week from today my BABY GOES TO KINDERGARTEN! :(

Let the tears commence!
