grammy camp 2012 (a new tradition!)

the girls spent four days with grammy and cousin s at grammy camp!  they had so much fun!  a bluebell factory tour, complete with ice cream, a visit to the butterfly center at the museum of science, lots of pool time, cookie and cupcake making, lots of songs and stories, tutu making, journaling, and bug catching!  they had so much fun!  they came home with lots of goodies and lots of smiles!  i sure missed them . . . but it was cool to have b all to myself for a little while . . . he got spoiled while they were being spoiled!  what a fun tradition!  thanks grammy!  the girls even came home and did a performance of the songs they learned . . . super cute!
fyi . . . the "camp" is for four and up . . . count b in for next year, grammy!
kam's fav part, " aking the tutus and the journals!"
mck's fav part, "going to the bluebell factory place!"
ken's fav part, "seeing the longwings lay eggs!"

girls night at the nutcracker

the bailey girls started a new tradition this year . . . and evening at the theater. the girls had so much fun getting dressed up for a night on the town! we went to see the austin ballet's nutcracker and it was AMAZING! the girls were soooo enthralled with it! ken and mck thought it was magical and were staring through the whole thing. kam loved it, but felt the need to talk in my ear, non-stop through the whole thing! (it was a little too much silence for her. we can't wait to do a special evening out again next year!

planting seeds

the girls had a great time decorating their pots, "growing" dirt, and planting seeds! now it's a face to see whose will pop up first! we're growing forget-me-nots, strawberries, and wildflowers!

preparing for the fourth!

what a great day! :) the girls set of fireworks with daddy, decorated their bikes for the parade (themselves!), got their fingers and toes painted "patriotic", and we munched on red, white, and blue cookies! :) after b.c. went to bed we headed outside for some more fireworks and to watch the neighbors' fireworks too! what a great day! can't wait until tomorrow! :)
