Playdates, Parks and Princesses on Ice!!!

 

Our week consisted of preschool for both girls, gymnastics for Bug, Bible study for me, playdates with some old friends-Owen & Ella and Sophie and some new ones too-Maya & Piper, a few trips to Williamsburg to visit with Gigi and Babu and dinner and drinks with good friends.

However, the highlight of our week was by far taking Bug to see her first (and definitely not her last) Disney Princesses on Ice show. She loved it!! She barely spoke the entire time because she was so captivated by the whole production! In fact, the only time she did talk was about 15 minutes into the show. She leaned over to me, with a sad, confused look on her face, and asked me, "You got Wainey, Mommy? Where she be?" It was sweet to know that even though she beats up on her all day long, she still misses her little sister when they're apart.

Happy to go walking with Mommy and Daddy in our "new" jogging stroller (BIG thanks to my friend Cindy for securing this awesome stroller for me...for FREE!)

Hailey, chasing Owen around the park. 



Lulu LOVES jewelry.  She will turn anything into a necklace, bracelet or headband.  Including her spaghetti dinner!



Who knew there were so many ways to eat spaghetti?!

 



Cookies?  Check.  Milk?  Check.  Jewelry?  Check.  Gigi on babysitting duty?  Check.  She's officially in her "happy place!"

Ready to see some Princesses!

 

 



 

Mommy and Daddy and Princess Hailey. 



We had great seats!



Her fingers remained in her mouth the entire time!!  That means she was definitely entertained (and her fingers were stinky by the end of the show!)

 

Below are a few pictures from the show, posted solely for Hailey's viewing pleasure.  Unless any of my "followers" are Disney Princess super-fans!  If that's the case, enjoy!  Otherwise, scroll down!

Waving "bye bye" to all of the princesses. 





I wasn't surprised to see her dressed up in princess gear, pushing a baby Snow White doll around in her shopping cart the next morning!



The Princess fun carried on outside too!  We spent all afternoon drawing Ariels (in mermaid and princess forms) all over the driveway!
