Dinner at Furr's

So tonight... we decided to try out the new Furr's cafeteria in Garland. Emily kept saying her stomach hurt and she did not want to eat anything. At the end of dinner Macey was eating her dessert and I looked over at Emily as she had her hands covering her mouth. I tell Tim to rush her to the bathroom, but there was not time. Throw up all over the table and floor of this new restaurant. I felt so bad for the people sitting around us and our poor waiter that had clean up duty. Needless to say we packed up our stuff and headed out. We will not be going back there! Pray for her that she gets better, she starts her craft club tomorrow and Macey has her first field trip tomorrow. I am hoping that they will both be okay!

The Joyful Noise Choir

Today Emily had her first choir concert at church. Their are 2nd-5th graders in her choir. She looked so little up there singing. She had been practicing her songs at home for a while and was so excited to be able to sing them in front of the church crowd. She sang at the 9:30 and 11:00 services. 

Stay tuned for postings about Macey's choir performance-The Celebration Singers!

The State Fair of Texas

Today was Emily and Macey's official Fair Day at school, so Tim took a half day at work so we could all go to the fair. Nonna came along with us and we had such a good time. 

The girls loved this slide. They rode it twice-when we got there and before we left. Macey had a hard time climbing all of the stairs to get to the top, but the payoff was well worth it.

The girls are not into corny dogs, so we all split some Texas nachos with jalapenos (Emily's favorite). Macey also had a grilled cheese. 

Fun house

The petting zoo is always one of their favorite things to see and do while at the fair.

We are such clowns!

The girls had their nails painted and put some lipgloss on in the Loreal building.

Tilt a Whirl

Look how tall they are this year!

Dinner at Kobe's

Tonight we treated the family to my favorite restaurant, Kobe Steaks. The girls did not like much of their food, but loved the orange sherbet at the end. They really enjoyed learning to use chop sticks. Our wait time was 2 hours when we got there so we all got back in the car and headed off to the American Girl Bistro. When we got back to Kobe's our table was ready. The girls were so good!!!

First day of school

Today my baby headed off to kindergarten. Macey has been preparing for this day for such a long time. Emily started 2nd grade today. Can you believe they are getting so big?

Off to the Dallas Zoo!

Today we went to the zoo with Clayton, Oliver and Aunt Erica. We had so much fun. The best part was when Erica pulled out Macey's 2nd tooth. 

After we left the zoo we headed up to Jones Elementary to find out who Macey and Emily's teachers were going to be for the upcoming school year.

Emily was so excited to find out Mrs. Barnes was going to be her teacher!!!

...and then there was Macey who found out she was going to be in Mrs. Bello's kindergarten class. She was smiling from ear to ear. She was so happy!
