Girls Day

While the boys were out having their big adventure in Chicago the girls stayed home and had some fun!  Sweet Norah was an excellent sleeper, but that also meant that we were kind of locked in at home waiting for her to get up.  The morning didn't start to early, which was good!  After the boys had left Lucy and I cleaned up a bit.  The kitchen and dining area was in desperate need of some attention, so she was my big helper girl with that!  Afterwards we read for a bit and ran around being silly waiting for Norah to get up.  Once she got up we played upstairs for a little while... Lucy got to play with the dinosaur train and the train tracks without any disturbances!  We eventually went downstairs and did our first girly thing... nail painting.  I was going to go to the store with them and have her pick out some color but then I remembered I had a few colors... so I dug those out and she loved it!  Painted her toes first... and I was pleasantly surprised that she held still for the entire thing and then waited until they were dry to walk around.  She asked me if it was going to hurt, so I reassured her that it wouldn't.  :)  So, now our sweet little girlie has red toes, which she loves!  She wanted to try her finger nails next, but since I'm not that great at nail painting and her nails are so small, I decided to do it with this clear sparkly polish... just incase it went everywhere.  But she did really well with that too!  For awhile afterwards she walked around very carefully to make sure not to bump her toes on stuff and she fanned her fingers so they wouldn't touch either... it was very cute.

The hair style she requested

She thought it needed some jazzing up...

Yup. That about sums it up.

After that Norah was pretty tired so she went to bed and it was about time for Lucy's nap as well.  She was so excited that she was going to be able to take a nap in Ba-Boo's bed!  She went straight up there and didn't throw a fit or anything and just laid right now... it was amazing.  After her nap we had some lunch and waited for Norah to get up so that we could run some more errands!  We ended up going to the mall so that she could ride the carousel.  Again, she was just so excited that she got to ride in Ba-Boo's carseat!  haha.  I'm glad that the small things in life make her happy.

On the carosal.  She wasn't amused until it started

She was pretty happy once it started

When we got back our complex was having their annual BBQ.  They had a big water slide and a dunk tank, but they were both to big for Lucy.  And it was so hot out it was pretty unbearable.  We only stayed about 45 minutes because we were chatting it up with our neighbor Kim... but we had to go home.  Poor Norah's nose was sweating and she had sweated through her clothes, so I figured it was to hot for a sweet babe.  We got home and all took baths/showers, which was much better.  By that time it was time for bed.  We had some quick dinner and then that was the end of our girls day.  Not nearly as exciting as it was for the boys, but we had a lot of fun together.  :)
