SWEET & SASSY
Parker was invited to a birthday party at a place called Sweet & Sassy! It was seriously the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. The girls were given makeovers, where they changed into a dress-up dress, they had their nails painted, they had their make-up done, they had their hair done, and they got glitter sprayed all over them. Everything Parker LOVES! After the makeover the girls walked the runway for a little fashion show then belted out fun girly songs together!
PINKALICIOUS
Kyle's sister, Aunt Brooke, works at the AT&T Performing Arts Theater in Downtown Dallas. She is awesome about getting us tickets to shows that she thinks we would enjoy. I think my favorite show so far was Second City improv comedy show. While I was at the Second City show, I saw on the program, that Pinkalicious was coming to the Dallas Children's theater. Aunt Brooke was able to work her magic and get us four ticket to the show. Parker was thrilled because she loves Pinkalicious, the books, and she was able to invite her friend to the show! We had a girls lunch then enjoyed the show! So much pink, girly fun!
Pajama Day
Every year, in October, Texas public schools celebrate Drug Free Week. They have special days all week long to promote being drug free. One day was pajama day. I think the saying for the day was "Follow your dreams...don't get caught up in drugs." Kegan picked out some new pajamas that would be good for the chilly weather. When getting outside to ride bikes to school, with the neighbor, they were excited to realized that they had bought the exact same pajamas!
Sunday Lunch
One Sunday, after church, we went to Mooyah, Kegan and Parker's absolute favorite place to eat (mostly because they have a giant wall-sized dry erase board), for lunch!
Curly Q
One Sunday night, Parker decided she wanted me to put sponge rollers in her hair, so she could wear her hair curly for school the next day. I spend quite a bit of time getting all the rollers wrapped around her fine hair.
The next morning, I took the rollers out of her hair and she immediately started saying, "take it off!" I said, "Parker you wanted it curly, you have to wear it like this." "No Mommy take it off!" She grabbed my straightener and said, "use this to take it off!" I will not be sponge rolling her hair again anytime soon!
Storybook Character Day
Every year Kegan's school has Storybook Character Day, where the students pick a storybook character and dress up as that character. They are also responsible for bringing that book that their character is from. Last year Kegan was Where's Waldo. As a teacher and a rule follower it really bugs me when the kids just use their Halloween costume and turn it into a storybook character. This year, Kegan wanted to use his ninja costume from Halloween and take one of his Ninja books. Not gonna fly with this momma! So the weekend before the day he was to dress up, Kegan and I went round and round. I would suggest something, such as the tree from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and he would say, "No NOT INTERESTING." Finally I told him he had to decide by the end of the day on Sunday, so I would have the week to get the costume together and not be scrambling at the last minute.So he decided that he would be Thing 1 (from Dr. Seuss) and his friend would be Thing 2. The morning of Thing 2 got sick and couldn't go to school. Kegan was pretty bummed in true Kegan fashion he brushed it off and enjoyed the day!
Thing 1 and Tacky the Penguin (now that is what I call a storybook character)
How cute are the 3 little pigs?
Unicorn Party
One of Parker's friends had a unicorn themed party. They had two miniature horses for the kids to ride. One was dressed as a Pegasus and the other was dressed as a unicorn. It was super cute! Parker loved it and now says that she wants to do the same thing for her birthday!
More Cuteness
I am not playing favorites. I just have a ton more pictures of Parker than Kegan. First, I am with her MANY more hours every day and Second, Kegan is not a fan of having his picture taken. Parker LOVES to take pictures and videos of herself. If I leave my phone lying around she will snatch it up and fill up the camera roll of pics and videos of herself!
