Our Heroine... Fancy Nancy












It was "Fancy Nancy" day at our library (aka ... Barnes and Noble)... and the girls got all "Fancy Nancied" and went to a morning of dressing up, reading stories, crafts and of course...the all important snack!
As you can see Lily had some moments... she had a 'boo boo' on her toe and was not happy about it at all!

America(n) Girls!







It has been awhile since I last post... actually it was our last holiday of Mother's Day.






We've been busy. June was a crazy month for us. Both girls started swimming lessons for the entire month. They finished up an art camp last week (that they both just loved!). We went on a week-long adventure to Dallas where we played at the phenomenal malls, American Girl store, Six Flags... you name it, we did it!






And we have had a mountain of birthday parties this month.






Every time we go to the mailbox, Caroline will ask "for my invitations, please" ... like she is Cinderella. And, I'll be darn... there usually is an invitation in the mail.






I so want their life!






Here are some pics of my American Girls at the American Girl store in Dallas. We went there a couple of weeks ago!
