Girl Day!

This weekend is child free church retreat weekend. Lee offered to let me go, but I jumped at the opportunity of a quiet, relaxed weekend at home. Lee is at the retreat and the girls and I are having a blast together. We started off the morning braiding hair. A little background - there is a girl in the dance class with beautiful waist length, shiny, chestnut brown hair. This child was just blessed with a great head of hair. Before class, her mom always twists it into a single braid that hangs down her back. Well, come to find out, Analese covets this girl's hair. She asked me to braid HER hair for class. And as soon as I did, she pranced around feeling like the most beautiful princess ever! Here is the braid that I promised her this morning.



The hilarious thing is, Mariele asks for a braid also. She does not have quite enough hair, but she will not accept no for an answer. This is true of a bun also. This morning I gave Mariele some "Pipi" braids.



Analese wanted me to braid my own hair. It's pretty obvious I can't see what I'm doing back there.



They are enjoying a creative morning painting.



Here is a cute pic of Mariele from a few days ago wearing Daddy's shoes.

Love the braids! And, I love that Mariele wanted braids too just like big sissy;)

I bet the girl's weekend was so fun!
