My Feet Say "Thank You"

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to Kelli from Random Thoughts of a Super Mom. I *just* received my package of foot goodies that I won through Free 4 All Fridays, and I'm lovin' it all! Kam is sporting the fancy polish . . .

And my feet love these adorable flip flops! Just please promise that you will NOT enlarge the photo. I *do* realize that my feet are in major need of a pedicure, and I'm a little embarassed. But I plan on fixing that tonight!

Thanks so much Kelli! What a wonderful surprise today!

Pedis and Extreme Makeover!

I'm being lazy {I like to call it pressed for time}. I'm going to combine a little pedicure talk {and some photos} with a very quick Extreme Makeover: Me Edition update.

Amber hosts EM:Me. Her blog was one of the very first I came across in blogland. She's so super adorable, and is newly pregnant with a very long awaited baby to add to her already sweet family. I'm so happy for her!

She has no question for us this week, which means just a quick update will do.

I wish there was something exciting to update, but sadly, there is not. I still cannot get into an exercise groove. But I have lost a few more pounds which puts me down around the weight I was at when I was competing in pageants. Though I look at this body and wonder how that can be. It certainly doesn't look like the same body! I am happy with my weight, now if my body would just magically tone itself, that would be great. I am drinking a LOT of water. I love water, and I've been craving it more and more lately. That's about all there is to tell.

*****************************
As for our morning at the salon . . . it was great! The girls really enjoyed their pedis. It was so cute to see them seated together in the big chair while their little tootsies got pampered and polished. Makenna was adamant that she wanted no polish, but at the last minute changed her mind. They were so grateful and excited to be there. It just warmed my heart. I love these girl moments spent together. I hope they've enjoyed our girl-week as much as I have.

{Please excuse the poor photos. The lighting wasn't great and I haven't had time to edit}

I tell ya, I was feeling relaxed just watching them!

In the end, they both thought that alternating black and orange would be appropriate for an October pedicure. What can ya do?

Girls Week

It is so past my bedtime right now. I haven't been getting the best sleep lately, and often I feel like a zombie, but I just need a little peace and quiet, ya know?

I mentioned that Jeremy, his dad, my dad, and a family friend all left for Wyoming on Sunday. The girls and I were a little sad to see Jeremy go. Happy for him, but we knew we'd miss him. In an effort to keep the girls' minds off of missing their dad this week, we have been keeping pretty busy enjoying our girl-time. Yesterday was spent at Target and Michael's. I ask you, does it get any better than that? Because of our big homeschool skip day, we got down to business with our studies today, but managed a quick trip to the library and swim lessons this evening. Tomorrow . . .

Drum roll, please.

{Okay, okay, it's not that exciting.}

I've booked appointments for the girls to have pedicures!

I was going to keep it a surprise until tomorrow, but sometimes it's more fun when they get to look forward to it for a bit.

I cannot wait to see their little toes gettin' all pampered. What's that? You can't wait to see it either? Well good, because you can be sure that I will post pics.

Alright, off to bed. Hope y'all are enjoying your week as much as we're enjoying ours!
