Girls Weekend ...

So this weekend one of my best girlfriends in the whole world.... JM came up to visit w/ her very very cute daughters! We had a girl's weekend and it was so much fun! WHOO HOO! JM's grandfather lives near me & JM, her husband and the girls live about 3 hours North of where I live. So it was quite the time this weekend and I don't think I've seen them since well it must've been March, I guess. We did a whole bunch of girly type things .... such as braiding hair! I braided both girl's hair (CD & KF)! It turned out super cute if you ask me! As I braided CD's hair I said a quiet little prayer to God that I might be blessed someday w/ a beautiful little girl who likes to have her hair braided. On Saturday after visiting w/ JM's Grandpa, they came over to my house to see my mom & IV who were waiting to see them. We played w/ the baby although neither one of the girls like babies very well. Tee hee it was kind of cute because IV being the little personality that she is decided it was okay that they didn't like babies she was going to follow them around anyway! I had been collecting clothes to give to JM and I gave her 3 huge boxes of clothes to use for work, home etc. I'm so happy that I could bless their family with something that I could no longer use; especially when I've been low on money and have been concerned about affording Christmas presents. I was just glad that they came down to visit and pick them up because the boxes were very heavy and would've cost a mint to send in the mail. After playing fashion and going through all the clothes we had a quick trip to the store so I could grab a few things and then head back home, where I got to make dinner for everyone :)! I love to entertain. The girls even liked my food. I made baked chicken w/ potatos, green beans, and whole grain bread - although I did catch my oven mitt on fire and then proceeded to forget about and burn the top of the bread. Opps... never said I was perfect. Either way we had quite the laugh. We ended up cleaning up after dinner and getting the girls in the jammies & the girls picked out a movie and we made popcorn and watched Cinderella 2. Actually we only made it through part of the movie and we were all tired so we crashed. The next morning we all got up and it was very quiet. I made some homemade blueberry muffins and eggs for breakfast which went over very well! I even packed two muffins for JM's husband. After the girls took a bath, I braided hair again! It was too cute the day before not to braid it again, and we just hung out at home talking and playing w/ the girls. After having some Subway for lunch we all worked together to pack up the car for them & that was when we realized how warm it was outside and so I asked JM if I could take the girls for wheeler rides quick before they left.... CD was so good and so excited on the wheeler. She just loved it. Not scared, just so excited and she didn't mind the bumps and the hills or even a little mud! What a wonderful way to cap off a great weekend! I took KF for a ride too but she kept telling me I was going too fast so we slowed it down to 10 miles an hour vs. 15. KF is more of a princess little girl and younger than her sister.... not so adventerous! KF did say at the end that she decided she liked the wheeler when it didn't go too fast! Tee hee! So all's well that ends well I guess! Here are some pictures from the weekend they were all taken on Sunday right before they left because we were having so much fun before hand .... I have to say I honestly forgot about the camera till the last minute!

CD & KF - sporting their cute little french braids that I did for them :)!

This is KF, me and CD together ... the both said they can't wait to come back to Manda's house and KF tried to pull me into their car at the last minute before they left! How Sweet is that!

JM, KF, and me .... sorry I'm squinting in all of the pictures ... the sun was so bright and I'm really not use to that!

Me & CD my new little wheeling buddy... I told her next summer that we need to get her some muddin' boots and a helmet so I can take her up North Trail riding ... but we'll have to make sure and bring the SPF 50 since we are both fair skinned beauties!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I had so much fun! A big thanks to JM for coming down to visit w/ me and bringing her beautiful girls! Happy Monday all.......
