Sassy Pop Star Spa Party

These days, at least one day of our weekend is full of friends birthday parties. And just like her father, Emerson lives for the parties.  Last weekend, Emerson's classmate, Stella had a Sassy Pop Star Spa Party.  You just thought I made that up didn't you?  Oh no, this was the party and it was held at the Sassy Spa.  Emerson was extra excited about this party because she has stopped, at least for the time being, biting her fingernails.  She has the longest, prettiest nails now and could not wait to get her nails done. So, here is the Sassy outfit...
 


 
And here is the after.  They got their make-up and hair done, as well as, mani's and pedi's.  She was a great time and it was fun to go to a place we have never been before.

Hurricane Isaac

We were lucky to say the least.  Never lost power, but we sat around for 2 days waiting for it to go out, so nothing productive was happening at our house.  There was however, A LOT of Beauty Shop going on.
 
 


Duncan was, by far, the worst kid during the storm. The days of constant rain kept him inside too much!

 Once the rains slacked up enough to go outside and we knew the worst was over, Denny had to take Duncan out to run some of his energy off.  I am sure the neighbors were close to calling Child Protection on us as Emerson was walking up and down the street in the middle of a hurricane.




 

Weekend fun

As always, I feel like I can playing catch-up...
Now that Hurricane Isaac has passed, we seem to be settling back into our school routines.  Our weekends are filled with Birthday parties and lots of new house stuff.  We have had our Back To School Night, so this First Grade Year is well underway.  VERY different of course, more homework and weekly tests, but Emerson seems to be handling it well.  She has made new friends, but still interacts with her "crew" on the playground and on the weekends.  Overall, I would say the school year is off to a good start.
 
We went to the Farmer's Market a few weekends ago.  If there is a Face Painting Booth anywhere around, she will find it! I think this one was called, Heart Princess.


 


Labor Day while I was at work, Denny took Em to a birthday party and then he had to go into the office for awhile.  She hung out at Ms. Jill's desk and had a snack and played some games on the iPad. There may have been a moment where nosey got lost and could not find her way back, but we aren't talking about that.  She is definitely our child...Nosey like Denny which compelled her to go walk around and check it all out.  And then like me, could not get herself back.

After we finished up at work, we went to some friends house to swim and BBQ.  Here are Hayes, Camille and Em enjoying their dessert.  Julian was around there somewhere but was not interested in being in the picture.

Here is another "City Park Big Tree" picture. I need to go back and put all the pictures together that we have taken of her on this tree over the years...
