Highlights of my day

I've been feeling a little "off" for a few days. I have a lot to get done in the next couple weeks with summer winding down and I feel slightly overwhelmed and sad but when I just laid down to try and sleep all I could think about instead of all there is to do were 4 highlights of my day and how grateful I am for them.

1) Justin being willing to come home because he could tell I might need it.

2) Getting in an huge hose water play session with Alexis and Ariana while washing the dogs in nothing but our underwear. (I know that sounds strange but I swear my girls run around in nothing but underwear in the morning over summer break so that's what they were in when I started washing the dogs) We sprayed each other, danced in the "rain", jumped over the stream of water, limboed under the water etc.

3) Having a "beauty" day. Alexis and Ariana brushed and "did" my hair, make up and nails. Alexis also did Ariana's make up, and I did hers. Have to admit Alexis is actually decent at make up but Ariana is awful. She insits that eye shadow goes under your eyes as well as on your eye lids. Ariana does a fabulous job brushing and combing hair. (I'm serious!)

4) Taking my girls shopping at Khols and watching them have SOOOO much fun trying on several outfits. (I didn't try on anything I just watched and helped them) Ariana would put an outfit on and than proceed to model it for several minutes before moving on to the next one. I loved watching them giggle, smile and be incredibly noisy in the dressing room and tell each other how cute they looked and which pieces they liked the best.
