The Ladies McGurr Love A Change of Scenery!


Why are we standing like this?



Happy Girls Day 2008 to you all! We had a very big day. We went to Chuck E. Cheese and then to Toys R Us. Maddie & Bettie both got to pick out a toy for being so good at their new school (or at least trying really hard to be good).

Maddie loves to go to Toys R Us because they are one of the few stores on earth that still sell Teletubbies stuff. She always gets something TT related. You can see the new additions in the picture below (sort of). This was at our picnic (which Bettie thought would be a nice idea). Maddie is trying hushpuppies for the first time and loved them! She has not really tried a new food in months if not longer and she decides to try a hushpuppy.

I love hushpuppies! Who knew?

Bettie chose a Ming Ming (a duck from WonderPets). Sean thought maybe she had buyers' remorse after realizing the duck does not talk. Aunt Donna came with us to our picnic at a nice park near her house.



Whew--I need a haircut!





Here are some pictures of Aunt Donna and the girls.

I love Aunt Donna and my flying duck!



Aunt Donna has no clue what I see in these Teletubbies, but she loves me anyway



Aunt Donna also went with us to get Bettie's haircut at her first big girl haircut place. They are both hysterical at times about getting their hair cut, but we thought if we took Bettie to a kid only place by herself she might like it. There were a few moments when she was not so sure, but Aunt Donna talked her out of any fits she might want to have. Maddie wanted nothing to do with it and started yelling whenever we suggested it.

We capped off an exciting day with a visit from Uncle Jay, Aunt Robin, and Faith on their way through town on a road trip. We got to visit with them for a bit and catch up on family stuff. It was a very big day and the girls (and Mom and Dad) were beat by the end of the day. We will have to save up our energy for another fun adventure. We are very close to the zoo now, as well as Cosi, waterparks, big playgrounds and pools.

As our parting shot here is Bettie sporting her new 'do. As you can see, it brought out her creative side since she is painting a picture about the days of the week (or so she tells me)

I like the new me!
