Girlie weekend

 We had our girlies overnight this weekend.  We always have fun together and we did again this time.  I apologize right now for all the photos!

Laura and Aaron brought them to our house and we all had supper together.  Before they left, the girls talked them into playing some Wii games.

Here's Alaina racing Aaron.

Laura and Alaina boxing.

Laura and Aaron left and the girls put on the pj's.

Alaina had to show us her sloth pj's.  :)

Then we played the game of Life on Wii.  

It was a long game - took over 2 hours!  But we sure had fun and laughs.

The next morning, Bob mad breakfast for the girls.  Cinnamon rolls made in the mini waffle maker.

They turned out good - and Ruby said Grandpa was a better cook than Grandma.   :)

Then the girls talked Bob into setting up the playhouse downstairs again.  We had taken it down at Christmas when Andy and Nikki stayed over, and the girls have been missing it. This is a playhouse Bob built for our girls when they were little.

Happy girls!

After that, we did some painting of little canvases.

Alaina mixing up paints.

I found a kit that let you spin and tilt the canvas to move the paint.  They also had a tip from Bob to use a straw to blow it.  (Not my idea, because you know it made a bit of a mess, but they had fun!)

Alaina's finished art work - she said it's a giant wave.

Both girls beautiful works, setting out to dry.

They had been playing on the piano, and Ruby called Bob and I in to listen.  She said Alaina was doing a recital and we had to "encourage her". 

So we listened and clapped!

Then it was time to head home.

We stopped at Great Grandpa and Great Grandma' house.  We brought McDonalds and shared fries with them.

Great Grandma brought out this parrot that records what you say and says it back.  They thought it was pretty funny.

After a fun visit, we brought them home.  What a fun filled time we had!
