Pedicure

About a week ago I took Samantha with me when I got a pedicure and they painted her fingers and toes.  She has been so proud of them.  When they asked my little 3 year old what color of polish she wanted she told them red.  I tried to convince her to get pink or something that would look a little more like a little girl but she wouldn't budge.  She told me "Momma I want red."  So red it was, they did a good job of making her nails look a little bit more girlie with the polka dots. Anyway attached are the pictures...

Awana Part 2

As my dear friend Erin pointed out I forgot to say what Samantha memorized.  The first was her key verse which was "God loved us.... and sent his son."  and the second was her motto which is "Jesus loves me."  

Awana

Samantha started doing Awana at church last week, and last night was the first night she went to her little cubbies meeting and had to recite scripture.  We really prepared for it and I told her that she was going to have to say it for the teacher's.  Well she did it.  I was so proud of her.  They give them little rewards for saying their stuff and last night it was candy.  She was so proud.  I need to make sure one of these weeks I get a picture...  

Labor Day Weekend Camping Trip

This weekend we went on a 4 day camping trip and had a really good time.  It was really relaxing for all of us to get out of town. We did all the normal camping things like fishing, swimming, and relaxing.  Samantha caught her first fish and Alexandra got to eat her first smores.  Here are some fun pics of the girls!  Hope everyone had a good Labor day!

First day of School

Ok so it has been crazy busy around our house and I haven't had time to sit down to write this. Samantha had her first day of school and we all seem to have survived.  She was so excited to go and actually ran up to the building saying "this is pre-school, this is my pre-school" over and over again.  It made it easier for me since she was so excited.  Her sister and I missed her something terrible but we made it through the day.  Samantha didn't take a nap and she was covered in finger paint when I picked her up.  Oh and she maybe ate 3 bites of her lunch since she doesn't really get eating in an allotted amount of time.  So the first thing she said to me is "Moma I need a snack." When I asked her what she did at pre-school she said "Mom we did a lot of stuff."  So I dropped off a 3 year old and picked up a 13 year old who doesn't have time to talk to her Mom!  :) Here are some cute pics!
