So here, Hurricane Dolly dumped rain on us on Wed and through the night, but all day Thursday was dry, and VERY windy.  No more videos.  And yes I know I 'm not going to win mother of the year, but I did at least get pictures of the kids and the storm and memory making is within my job discription.

Friday, CJ hosted a "tea party"  we had the little girls from the neighborhood over, and having a 3r old girl (or very close to 3) is a "requirement" for our neighborhood.  It was still very windy, but everyone had fun dressing up, eating banana bread that CJ and Daddy made, and drinking juice.  Laurelei slept through most of it but was thrilled to wake up, get dressed up and join the party.

Girls weren't the only ones at the tea party, nor the only ones dressing up.

Last Saturday, while Eric was flying, the girls and I went to Mama Mia.  It said it was a great mother daughter movie and that everyone would be dancing in the aisles so we ventured out.  Now if my mommy brain had been working I would have remembered, we don't go to church early or other sitting still events, so why oh why would I think we should sit through the previews???  The girls really did great, and I really enjoyed our time, including CJ telling me not to sing --so fun to embarrass her already, and the girls dancing "the pony" as CJ calls it during Dancing Queen.  We did leave early, too short of a nap for Laurelei got the best of us, but it was fun --we left with 20mins left, the amount of time the previews took.  Now all week CJ has been asking to sing "the honey" song from the movie along with Mama Mia...today I finally downloaded a few of the ABBA songs so we are busy having our own dance party.

Eric resumes flying on Monday, and will hopefully get his checkride on Tuesday.
