Fun Mommy/Daughter Day!

I was lucky enough to have a fun mommy/daughter day with Katie and some friends today!

We went to see the new Barbie Fashion Fairytale movie in the movie theater this afternoon. Our movie theater will show movies that are about to be released onto DVD the weekend before at noon. So our neighboor and her daughter organized a fun outing for the moms and girls.

So with Starbucks in hand I sat down to watch the new barbie movie. It was so, so cute! I loved it! And Kate loved Barbie's cell phone and jewlery! We will definitly be going to get it on Tuesday when it is released to DVD. In fact, I may pick it up while she is in school and suprise her with it when she gets home.

So after the movie, we headed over to Chilis for lunch. Yum! It was so cute to watch all the girls sitting at their table talking and coloring and all the moms got to sit and chat at our table. Definitly need to make these days more of a prioriy!

And as a plus, Kate found out that one of the girls that joined us is in her gymnastics class on Thur. This is great, b/c I think Kate was a little nervous b/c she didn't think she'd know any of the girls in this class. Plus I can visit with her mom, which will be fun!

OK, off to bed b/c tomorrow starts our first full week of school and it will be a busy one!

My First Post!

Ok, so blogging has been something I've wanted to do for a long time. I love reading through other people's blogs and a few of them have turned their blogs into printed journals at years end. That is what I want to do.

I take so many pictures during the week of the kids and I am always posting them on facebook. But I still don't have a printed record of our lives. I loved the idea of scrapbooking and even did that for a while (I love the idea of recording our lives, my thoughts and preserving memories) but I am not a crafty person by nature and it became another chore to do around the house. So, my hope is that I can journal about our lives, include pictures and eventually print them out into book form for when I am old, gray and senile! LOL!

So now that my first post is under my belt, I am off to figure out how to include pictures in my posts and also links to other blogs that I read. I am a big fan of the party blogs and baking/cooking blogs so hopefully I can share those on my site as well.
