4th of July Fireworks!!

http://laurenandallison.shutterfly.com/

We took the Girls to watch fireworks last night.  They loved it! It was a really good firework show! They had a good time just playing around in the park before hand. They had their light up necklaces on and were running around every where.  It was just a big party up there.  When the fireworks started Allison kept saying "WOW"!

Today we played on the slip n slide and the girls painted. Allison really loved doing that!

A trip to the toy store

I took the girls to Toys r us earlier this week so Lauren could use her birthday coupon and the rest of her money she had.  At first she was all about looking at things then her normal I hate shopping self came out! She started picking up things just to get and finally turned to me and said I am tired of shopping can we just go home!! Then she spotted the pillow pet blanket! She just had to have that! I was ok with that since I figure she will get more use out of the blanket than a toy.  Allison on the other hand was still going strong the entire time! She found a little shopping cart and had to push that all around the store. Then she spotted a purse and had to carry that. I was able to get her to stop paying attention to those things only for her to find this little elephant lovie.  She had to hug it a few times and wanted to carry it around but then some bubbles got her attention and she didn't want the lovie anymore.  Funny how my kids love their blankets!

Falling behind!

Things have been busy around here and I got an iphone so I have not thought to get on here and update things. 
We cooked steaks here on Father's day.  We also had the pool up so we swam for a little bit. We are still having issues with the pool but hopefully we will get it all worked out.  Allison when we first got little pool out she was unsure of it but now she loves it all! Many times the girls have went outside just to play after dinner and they got in for a swim.  The Girls and I went and got Jon's fathers day gift.  Lauren wanted him to have a superman shirt and we got him another shirt that says Dad Rocks.  She was so excited to give it to him!
Lauren went to the beach with Mimi and Pawpaw a few weeks ago.  she had such a good time! She is ready to go back to the beach already!
Today I took the Girls first to Kohls to get Allison some new shoes...this child would rather have new shoes than a toy! She has outgrown most of hers so she needed a new pair.  Then we went to chuck e cheese to play for a while. then we had lunch at mcdonalds.
We have just been enjoying summer around here and playing with friends as much as we can!! We even had Pj's birthday over here last weekend because their power had been out all day and it was so hot.  The Girls had so much playing!

Allison's favorite word

Preschool graduation and a safari!

Lauren's preschool graduation was last thrusday.  It was so cute! They sang some songs and got a little dipolma. They had a little reception for them afterwards and then we all came back to the house and had lunch and cake.  Lauren left for the wknd with Nana and Pops.  They fished and Lauren caught one! On sunday we all went to Tn safari park.  It was awesome! The kids loved it! It was amazing to see the animals that close up!
