Love Life, enjoy your family and decided to be happy

This weekend was packed with family fun and dates. We started our weekend Thursday night we where supposed to go over to a friends house to get together plans for Ann's baby shower but I was having problems getting a babysitter. But as always my awesome Dad came through for us. So we went out to dinner at Can Can a local place that was just voted best French restaurant in Richmond it was great the food was just right, es cargo, mussels, sole and great bread the best part was half price wine. Woo Hoo.

It was one on the few weekends we did not set off to the beach. Alexis wanted to go but Will had training and on Saturday. So instead we hung out in town. We did a little shopping and Alexis talked her dad into getting her these sparkley fake eyelashes, what do you do she loves to dress up and wear anything with glitter. So all weekend we would put them on and a couple hours later she would get sick of them and she would remove them and save them to put on later. But the question is, is this ok? Do you say no it is for adults not little girls? I don't know but we get looks when we are out and she is wearing them!!! People can not tell if they are real, mascara, or what, then when they ask and she says they are fake lashes the comment is always "I can't even get them on myself how does she get them on her?" Here is a picture of her with her lashes on the way to our friends.

Friday we brought our huge slide to our friends house and the kids played all night on the slide and wreaked havoc on their house. The grown ups eat steak and drank beer and told stories. Here is Alexis eating dinner with Spider Man, who knew he was available for house visits.

Saturday while the husband is away the girls will shop! So off the Saks Fifth Avenue I saw some great shoes but none I had to have but I bought this great purse. A Cynthia Rowley the Laurene purse in shiny black. It is beautiful and perfect for me because of the color, size and quality. I am an accessory girl. I love shoes, purses, hats ect and yes I am sure as you can tell I am a label whore anything with a label I buy. Then we went to a big girls lunch a PF Chang's, Alexis loves the Pin Rice soup it is hot and spicy she loves it. She gets a little tea pot and has a tea party. Emme loves food in general so she liked the soup, noodles, rice, shrimp and anything she could get on her fork. We had a few minor snafus on Saturday like when I was trying on shoes and Emme and Alexis tried on all the shoes so we left the shoes department in ciaos. But they like us so it was not too big of a deal but it might has softened the blow if I had bought some shoes but no. then I ran off from the restaurant with out paying my bill but I came back after I chased my daughters through the mall. I think the waiter was worried he was standing at the exit bill in hand looking for us, oops!!! Then we went to a B-Day party, when we got home the best news was William was home so he took Alexis to the party and let Emme and I nap. The worst part was we brought a present but I forgot to put a card on it so looks we did not bring a present. Oh Well.

Sunday has just started but the plan is brunch then the pool. We have started a new tradition of going to brunch on Sundays so this morning we are getting all pretty and heading to the club for brunch and then to the pool. I love the idea of brunch because pretty much I do not have to cook the rest of the day and the girls feel special that we all come together for a meal and we talk about what we are thankful for.
