Girls Weekend!

Nick was off on his spring bike trip this past weekend so the girls and I made the most of it.


Thursday night we ran to Target and the mall. Ellie was thrilled when I told her she could get the Barbie Lip Gloss that she asked for. Who knew that lip gloss could excite someone so much. She talked about it the entire rest of the trip. Neve used one of her birthday gift cards and picked out a Barbie phone and a Lego Junior Princess set (someone likes to be like big sis). We had to rush home in order to beat the Hy-Vee grocery delivery guy.


Friday we cleaned and organized the house. And played Legos. The girls picked out dinner of Mac 'n' Cheese and hot dogs.


Saturday morning Neve was in our bedroom at 6 a.m. complaining that her throat hurt (seriously, if we have strep again...) so we were at the walk-in clinic at 8 a.m. She tested negative for strep (thank goodness), but the Dr. noticed that she has something stuck in her ear (which could cause her to think her throat hurts). He couldn't get it out easily and we already have an appointment with the ENT for Tuesday to check her tubes, so we will hope he can get it out then. Since she was not sick we were able to make it to the birthday party for a couple of the neighbors at Pump It Up. Ellie loved it, Neve is not a big fan of Pump It Up. We played outside in the afternoon and enjoyed our dinner of Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwiches (the girls told me it was an amazing meal and they wanted to have it again soon- win!).


Sunday morning we had our last session of Faith Formation. We made a stop at Hy-Vee before hand to pick up some flowers for Ellie's teacher and Neve's favorite office lady (since I am Neve's teacher). Then we were off to church. The girls did an amazing job at the show for the parents and I am sad the year is over. After church we ran to the mall for some girls shopping. The younger girls made out pretty well with new shoes, new outfits and a couple books. Ellie is reading chapter books now and is really proud (Nick and I are too). Then back home for a rest before Daddy got home. Pretty nice weekend with beautiful weather. Let's hope it continues!
