Allie's 6 Year Pictures

Sunday night I took Allie out for pictures.  Earlier in the day we picked clothes for her to wear, and I surprised her when I told her I'd bought some sparkle eye shadow (from the Dollar Tree) she could use.  Her birthday party theme this year is unicorns, so I crafted her a little headband earlier in the day to use for pictures.  We had a little mishap with the unicorn horn so we retired it early and finished pictures with out it (that's what I get for hot gluing instead of sewing!)

300+ pictures later, and these are my favorites......

 Are you ready for some random 6 year old answers?!  I made a list of 25 questions and asked Allie her answers.  Her answers are in italics, but when I had to prompt her or explain her answer, I used

Weekly Happenings

Here's what we did this week...

CeCe 

Cece had an eventful week!  She got groomed and shaved (which we were late doing this year).  We've always taken her to Groomingdales in Newburgh.  They are always so reasonably priced and they text you when they are done.  This time they even sent a picture of her when she was ready for pick up!

Once she got cleaned up we made her a vet appointment to get yearly shots and get flea and worm meds.  We all took her to Hilltop this morning.

Family Movie 

We made the most of Kevin's two days off this last week.  Sunday we took the kids to McDonald for happy meals (they have "Secret Life of Pets" toys in the happy meals).  Then we took them to see  "Secret Life of Pets" in the theater.  It was the first time our whole family had gone to the movies... And it may be the last considering what we paid!  But the movie was cute and the kids loved it.

Shopping 

We've been getting in the swing of back to school.  We've purchased (and labeled which is a job in itself) school supplies, got some adorable school clothes.  I really don't shop much these days and that's because when I go out I find lots I like and lots I want to buy!  Anyone else have that problem?  Well I couldn't pass up these short boots for this fall.  They were on sale and I had a 30% off coupon  + kohls cash.  

Cute Cakes

Last Saturday our friends had a party for their little boy.  She asked if I'd make a smash cake and cupcakes and I was excited to do that for this special little guy!

The smash cake was supposed to have a surf board topper that stood up on the cake but I didn't account for the heat and that surf board wasn't going to stand up. It still turned out cute and he enjoyed smashing it :)

A few of my favorite pics from the week:
