Girls Night - Mother Daughter Style

The local YMCA we're apart of hosted a Mother Daughter Cafe. We played with temporary tattoo's, bubbles, made crowns and painted each other's nails. I made sure it was a surprise for Isabella and the look on her face was PRICELESS! She really had a blast doing everything and having that special time together. I even let her paint my nails...brave I know. But she tried her best and was so concentrated the entire time. As you can see in the last picture that was the outcome. I love doing special things like this with Isabella because she's always so excited and so grateful. We had a blast.

Family Pictures

It's been a while since we've had Family pictures taken. We were able to get a good deal through a photographer who's apart of my playgroup. Check out some of my faves.

Adventure to West Virginia

Isabella and I had a mini adventure the last two days. My friend Chrissy is moving back to West Virginia and needed someone to help move her car, which was the start of our adventure. Isabella is not fully potty trained, we're about 90% there but her ability to hold for long amounts of time is questioned. And was definitely tested during the trip, I even cleaned and brought along our tiny potty. What is usually a 5 hour trip for Chrissy turned into an 8 1/2 hour trip in the car. With 2 kids. 8 1/2 hours...tired and sore bum. I did however manage to keep myself entertained by seeing trees...and more trees...and oh wait..more trees. But I did see from funny signs such as Goochland Co., Cowpasture River, ComeonIwannalaya..ok so I lied about the last one but the first 2 are true. It was drive into the country, our trip was short since we had a mission and a deadline. We needed to unload Chrissy's Uhaul and organize a few things, then the following day we were off to go back home. Isabella's favorite part was the trip home, we needed to take Chrissy's dad's truck so she could pack the rest of the stuff home that wouldn't fit. It's a standard pick up truck after we turned off the air bags and loaded her booster seat we were off. She giggled with excitement that she could see EVERYTHING. We also managed to make 9 truckdrivers honk their horns at us. This was her favorite by far. We would roll down the window and Isabella was pump her arm in the air to signal the blow the horn. Seeing her laugh and be so very excited was the funniest and best thing to watch. She insisted that we track down every Semitruck thereafter. She's now in bed and I'll be soon to follow. That's our Adventure.
