Dentist, Recital Practice, Wedding Shower, WEEKEND FUN!

 All 3 kids had dentist appointments on Thursday.  I was really glad Kyle was home to go with me.  We just room hopped between all 3 :-)!

 After the dentist we had to go buy Sophie some new ballet shoes.  Somehow we managed to misplace ONE shoe a couple weeks ago and have had ZERO luck in finding it. 

 It has rained and rained and rained for several days!  The kids played in it....  A LOT!!  They get stir crazy inside for long periods.  So why not?  I love this picture I snapped of Karter and Sophie :) and then wouldn't you know Timehop had one of them in the rain a year ago just a couple days later.  I love the comparison. 

Always goofing!

 Saturday morning Sophie had recital practice.  She loved putting on makeup :)!  This picture makes me laugh.....

It is hard to tell, but she had a baton "hiding" in between her legs.  I didn't pay much attention until Heidi and my Mom pointed it out.

 She did great..... I love watching all the little girls dance...

After practice we had my cousin, Abby's, Around The Clock Shower.  It was a fun shower to decorate for.  Mom helped me get everything together.

After the shower, the girls and I came home to unload the car and then we headed to Dothan with MeMe. 

We had a great time. 

We ate supper at Conestoga (which I haven't eaten at in YEARS) and then headed to Old Navy and Pet Smart.

MeMe captured this gem.  She was trying to get a picture of Sophie and Soph started posing. 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sad truth: all of our parakeets died last week.  They lasted 9 whole days :(.  The first one died Wednesday morning (Karter's Birthday).  It was Heidi's bird, Sky.  She accidentally stepped on it the night before so it wasn't much of a surprise when she died, but it completely devastated Heidi.  She was pitiful.

The very next morning Moe and Elsa were dead.  We aren't really sure what happened to them.  We are thinking either they were handled too much or possibly ate some fibers from our rug and weren't able to digest them.

 

The kids were pretty sad, but surprisingly got over it pretty quick.  They did not waste time asking MeMe for replacements. 

 

Pet Smart is right beside Old Navy.  While we were in Old Navy, the kids & MeMe went to Pet Smart..... "to look at the animals".  While I was checking out they each came in carrying a box with a parakeet in it. 

 

So we now welcome......

Cotton, Box, & Rainbow

Heidi named hers Cotton (the white one). Karter's is the yellow looking one.  He named him Box.  It makes me giggle because the lady at the store put them in in a box and handed them to the kids saying, "Here's box 1.... box 2..... box 3......" so Karter thought his bird was named Box.  Sophie's is the green one and she named her Rainbow. 

They are MUCH louder than Moe, Elsa, & Sky.  We plan to keep them outside.  They are just inside for the time being. 

Saturday was followed by great services at church. 

 

And before we knew it Monday had arrived.  Weekends really go by so fast.
