Shots & Mobiles

Kennedy spent the night Friday with her friend, Laney Lacey.  Laney Lacey (isn't that the funnest name) and Kennedy are classmates and have become really good friends in the past couple of weeks at school.  They went to an orchard and picked apples and peaches, swam at Tri-City Court Club, went to the park with their American Girl dolls, and styled their Barbie mannequin heads.  She was supposed to be back early Saturday morning but was having so much fun, she called and wanted to stay until later that afternoon.  Can you blame her?  Wow! That is alot of fun stuff!

So it left a unique opportunity to spend time with just Isabella.  I saw a picture of a really cute hanging mobile last week and thought it would be a fun project to work on with her. 

Shane cut the perfect branch, she picked out all the leaves, and helped me string on the maple and oak leaves with fishing line.  She is a little sketchy with these big scissors - I always forget to pull out the kiddo scissors until I look back at our pictures - eek.

We couldn't really find a great place to hang this beautiful crabapple branch so it's the centerpiece on our mantle:

Isabella was a little under the weather Friday night - she had four shots that day at the doctor.  Here are her 4 band-aids (oh, and her vampire teeth made a comeback Friday night too - it's been awhile since she dug those out of her purse):

Guns up!

After we finished the mobile, and many MANY bandage changes, we watched a little "Tangled", read a couple books, and went to bed.

Shane likes reading with us too and snuggles in with us.  He adds in his own funny rhymes the girls think are funny. 

The next morning we met Debbie at Toys R' Us to find Mason a birthday gift - he turned 10 this past week.  Same age as Kennedy now!  Isabella really accessorized:

Head to toe: headband, 2 bang clips, ponytail holder, earrings, 4 band-aids, 4 silly bandz bracelets (2 on each wrist), and Barbie stiletos.

What can I say?  A girl can't pull off Barbie stiletos for very long in her life - rock it while you can!  I did pack regular flip-flops in my purse for when she wanted a shoe change but surprisingly she made it all the way through Toys R' Us without twisting her ankle.
