Back to school fashion Shoot

A photo shoot downtown with all their new school clothes!  Lucky girls get double the clothes to choose from since they are still essentially the same size.  River is starting Kindergarten and Flower is starting 4th.
They love finding clothes with matching items for their doll or animals!

River got spooked by the sound of a car going through the light.  She thought she was going to get hit and she freaked and ran.  It was funny!

Back to school feast

Earlier in the day we asked the girls a bunch of favorites questions. We then used the food portion of those questions to give them a feast.

Favorite appetizer:
Flower and River said Olive Garden salad.  I happen to have that dressing in the fridge so it was an easy one to make.

Favorite meal:
Flower-macaroi and cheese
River-a plate of fruit

Favorite side dish:
They both said french fries and grapes

Favorite dessert:
Flower-vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce
River-popsicle

Favorite drink:
Flower-Rootbeer
River-Sprite

Although the photos don't show it, we had all the foods listed in their favorites.  It was fun!  KG decorated and set up everything while I was with the girls getting their school supplies.  The 'K' is for kindergarten and the 4 is for 4th grade!

Candlelit dinner made by the girls

My girls are amazing. Last night after getting home from work I went to lie down because my head hurt due to smashing my nose on Monday. KG apparently quickly fell asleep on the couch. The girls took it upon themselves to make a lovely dinner. They made a delicious fruit salad, cutting apples, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and carrots for good measure. They reheated several left over dishes we had from the week. They completely cleaned the dining room, sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning off and scrubbing the table. They set the table complete with place cards and candles, and the lights were off. They even brought their radio out and had music playing before they escorted us to the table. Cutest thing ever! My heart grew two sizes. And they were beyond proud of themselves!
