Project 365 - Week 25

Our week in review...  Just for the record, I think this has turned into a cell pic project.  Sooooo... I think this is reason enough for Mama to somehow get the new iPhone, yes?  It has a much better camera, so it's not just a want... it's a need, yes??  Just wanted to put that out there. ;)

Sunday

Pick up DK from the airport.  Panera.

Browse several stores.

Including Best Buy.  {Mama wants a Mac, but my bonuses come in the form of hugs and kisses... and well, Best Buy won't accept those as payment. ;)   The girls test drove the new iPads.  We'd all like one of those, but... see previous sentence.}

We DID {finally} buy the girls their own Nintendo DS Lites as an end-of-{school}year reward.  They have been wanting one for years and thanks to hub's extra hours we were able to.  They thought this was the best day of their lives!  {They say that any time something exciting happens.}  Gracie kept saying, "Someone pinch me.  I must be dreaming!"  She also said that she might marry it.

Monday

Gracie starts dance camp!  She had been counting down the days.

Nator and I hit the road, running errands!   She was so excited to find this Phineas and Ferb DS game!  It was not available at Game Stop and it was the last one at Target.  I'm pretty sure she said something about hearing the angels sing.

If you could have seen how empty the basket was and how much our total was... well, it's enough to make a grown woman cry.  It could have something to do with the dresser we bought Gracie.  She has been putting her clothes in plastic drawer containers in her closet since we've lived in this house... 4 years.  We couldn't pass this one up... It was on clearance, and it was white to match her room.

Tuesday

Phase I of Gracie's room.  It was bad, but in all fairness, this is half-way through.  It has to get worse before it gets better, right?  Sweet Nator helped me for a bit... Believe me, when it gets really bad, I like to do it myself. They don't have to know what Mama puts in the 'donation' and 'trash' bags.  ;)

Wednesday

Gracie needed a medium sized bag for camp.  I had a cute one, but must have put it in the garage sale. {Apparently, saving everything comes in handy 'sometimes'.  Oh well.}  So, instead... I sewed the bottom of one of Gracie's skirts that no longer fit.  {Apparently, procrastination pays too.  I've meant to list a stack of clothes on Ebay... At this point, they may get donated.}  The strap is a belt that belonged to a skirt of mine.  MacGyver meets Martha Stewart!  Tah-dah!

Bring Gracie to camp.  Buy silly bandz at Walgreens {because I'm trying to be a hip parent by not depriving my children of coolness}.  Library {DK has been reading this series}.  Phase II of Gracie's room {now those plastic drawers house toys that were once all over the floor.  thankyoujesus.}  Bring Nator swimming at dance camp with the campers.

Thursday

Shoe shopping {Gracie thinks she likes high-heels}.  Panera, to-go.  Dance camp.  Phase I and II of cleaning and re-arranging Nator's room.  
 
Friday

It's the last day of dance camp and it ends with a recital.  Gracie performed a duet {Butterfly Fly Away} with her sweet friend and a solo {Sixteen Going on Seventeen}.  We were so proud of her and all that she accomplished.

The reason we've been dress and shoe shopping!!  A Daddy/Daughter Dance! Complete with horse and carriage ride!  As usual, Nator couldn't pick a favorite song of the evening and Gracie loved the Cha-Cha Slide.  I heard the high-heels didn't stay on long.  ;)

Saturday

I think today was the first day DK had off work that we didn't have something planned since... I really can't remember.  So we took the girls to see the much anticipated Toy Story 3 movie!  {That's us, waiting in line. Crazy, I know.}  Y'all should see it.  Super-cute movie!

From there, DK dropped us ladies off at home so Gracie could ice her ankle.  Apparently, her week of dancing has caught up with her.  My sweet hubs made a grocery run for us.  He's sweet like that.  Love him.

What a crazy-fun-filled week!  Mama is officially tired.  :)
