What’s New?
After such a busy week last week, this week was much calmer. We did get out a few times to run errands, go to cross country conditioning, and go to the library.
We also got to visit my husband at work on Thursday and eat lunch with him. While we were in the town where he works the girls and I used the gift certificates he got us for a beauty day.
Julia and I got manicures, scalp massages, and a wash & style while Janna just got her nails painted. It was not something I am accustomed to doing and I chipped the polish on a few nails even before we even made it home.
However, it was a lot of fun to get to do something special with my girls while my boys got to hang out with their daddy at work.
Picture of the Week
Here we are after our beauty treatments. Julia got her hair curled and I got mine straightened. It was funny because my hair is naturally curly and Julia’s is stick straight. 🙂
Janna has been going around saying, “pretty nails” and showing everyone her fingernail polish. So cute!

Well, that about does it for this week. What’s new with you?
