Girls Nite Out 2/24/14

This was our 2nd Girls Nite Out for the New Year, I'm very excited we are on track.  I am also very excited about the crafts I received last night.  Mom made sis and I an altered box, it has a Victorian antique punk look to it, which I happen to love!  Sis made us a teal feather wreath, she cut all those feathers out by hand--absolutely love the look of it!  AND she gave mom and I a little origami folding class at our table--we learned how to fold the cutest little flowers out of book pages.  I made the girls an Owl Hanging, it says "Hoot Hoot" Spring is Here!
We met at our usual spot, Chilis, where we enjoyed great food, lots of laughter and great service by Tabitha.

Grand-daughters

On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, I picked up my grand daughters and we headed to Greenville.  I had promised them that we would make valentine cupcakes for them to eat and we'd get cards and goodies for their classmates.  As luck would have it, time crept up on me and the weather didn't cooperate so our plans were very last minute but we had a blast.  The night before I baked the cupcakes so I could take them with me so with the cupcakes and girls in tow, off we went.  We were successful in finding valentine cards they both liked for their classmates and then we went to dinner at Bob Evans.  While we waited on our food to arrive we iced the cupcakes-oh what fun we had!  After our dinner (which was breakfast food) we filled out all the valentine cards for their classmates. 

Prior to dinner, while in Walmart, I told the girls they could each pick out a book for Valentine's Day from papaw and me.  Bethanie chose one of the books in the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid while Zoe chose a Children's Bible.  On the way home I asked them to read to me so Zoe opened up the bible.  She and Bethanie took turns reading and they read all about the first six days, starting with God created the heavens and the earth.  Bethanie was reading and she said "and on the 7th day, God declared it a day of rest" and then she said "I guess that's ok, he did have a pretty busy week".  Out of the mouths of babes. 




Girls Nite Out 1/20/14

Our first Girls Nite Out for the year 2014.  My personal goal this year is to make sure we have a GNO at least once per month, that was my original goal back when we started GNO but you know, life gets in the way and before you know it two or three weeks or even a month has past.

Brooke made us a darling LOVE banner for Valentine's Day, Mom made us an adorable layered puffy heart for hanging and I made a Valentine's medallion for the door.  It was kind of neat that we were all thinking about February and Valentine's Day.
