Girls Weekend

While the boys were off hunting for the weekend, Addie and I enjoyed some girl time together.  We started off the weekend with a quick trip to DQ for some ice cream Friday evening…..shhhh, don’t tell the boys!  We stopped by RedBox on the way home to pick up a movie.  (On a side note….When did RedBox go up to $1.20?!?  A movie for a buck….that made sense.  Now saying a movie for a $1.20…..that just seems strange.)  Finally we were headed home to put on some pj’s and snuggle up.

Saturday morning we were up early to join some friends at the San Antonio CureSearch Walk hosted by Sea World.  It was  a walk to raise funds to help find a cure to end all childhood cancers.  Such an inspiring event to see all those families out there who have been touched by cancer.  It reminds me to be thankful daily of my healthy, happy and even a bit ornery children.

 

Walking with the Green Family.  Maddie, their 2 1/2 year old, is in the stroller on the far left.  She was diagnosed with Leukemia this past March.  The continued strength and grace displayed by the entire family through this difficult time is an amazing testament of their faith.

After the walk, Addie and I decided to hang around Sea World and enjoy some shows and rides.

Enjoying her favorite ride….

…and her favorite show!

After spending a few hours visiting our favorite marine animals, we headed home to see our favorite cousins.  Cousins Clayton, Asher, Sophie and Aunt Misty came over to spend the night.  I forgot to take pictures while they were visiting, but Addie enjoyed having them here even if it was just a quick trip.

We finished off the weekend with a quick arts and crafts project for Addie’s preschool class.  She was given the task of creating a disguise for her turkey so he (or she in our case) could escape being the main attraction of the Thanksgiving meal. 

Painting her turkey pink because no one would suspect a pink turkey right?

Adding some ballet shoes.

Give her a tutu and viola…A Ballerina Turkey!
