Tu Tu Pink and Prissy!

 Karlie found this cute little outfit for Jolie at Target last weekend. She's good at putting outfits together. Karlie said, "Jolie's converse shoes will look great with this!" SO we dressed her up, but she wasn't in the mood for any picture snapping....

I wish I could pull off something cute like this, but I think I will leave the fashion trend to the little girls.

When we headed over to Ms. Gina's for our hair cuts, Jolie turned on the charm. She loves loves loves to get her hair cut at Ms. Gina's.

 Big Sister loaned her some lipstick and here she is looking in the mirror.

I warned ya, she turned on some photo taking charm.

 One happy beautiful girl...

And That's the END of this tu tu cute photo shoot.

this week's happenings

School started back this week for our county, however, not for us. We start after labor day, and I am glad to have a few more days to squee2e in some more summer fun. This has been a busy week chocked full of activities and we are only at thrusday.

Every year the county has an open house in the Target Parking lot. Vendors from around the area show up with free samples, and all of the rescue  squads arrive, free pencils, home depot crafts, rescue dogs...it's a fun night. Here Shek gets to sit in the firetruck and ask the fireman questions.

And Pop turned the big 70 this week...we celebrated with bbq  sandwiches and chocolate cake and ice cream. 

This boy is busy packing up his stuff and buying needed items for his apartment for college...he moves in 1 week to the big city of nashville.

And the THRIVE student ministry kicked off this week too Karlie poses with her shirt. She got the last small tee shirt, and the youth leader handing them out gave her the one off of her back so that she would not have to have a huge one...wasn't that sweet.

We are headed to the beach in a couple of days for a much needed little beach break, before 2ach goes off to school and before our KONOS homeschool coop begins....

Good to the last drop!

I've noticed that yogurt bars are popping up all over the USA. We have at least 2 in our county. We frequent the one that sports our name, Berry Mango's. Jolie loves the peanut flavor with m&m's sprinkled on top. She always picks the purple spoon because purple is her favorite color.

Karlie and I scarfed ours down fast and had the brain free2e to prove it too. BUT Jolie took her time and  enjoyed

 every. single. bite.

slowly.

Jolie says, It's good to the last drop.

As for me and my house...

My family and I live in the Chick fil a capitol of the world. There's a Chick-fil-a or a a Truett's Grill on just about every corner. AND we usually eat there several times a week, some weeks more than others, but it is a frequent stop for us. AS for as fast food goes, chick fil a has it wrapped up with a bow...and it's always, always their pleasure to serve.

 Today, being the chick fil a appreciation day we knew we'd be having some lunch at our favorite place. Knowing there would be crowds we went  a little after the lunch time but not much, and drove right in, it was crowded as usual, but not overwhelmingly so, but by the time we were done, it was. It was a good kind of cra2y.

I am participating in Ann VosKamp's Joy Dare...today the challenge was to find 3 gifts of white. SO my three gifts in white was my chick fil a lunch combo...all packaged in white.

Because we had to pull up and wait about 5mins for Karlie's  chicken strips, they gave us a coupon for the wait..this is just another 'gift' in white...for the day. a nice little bonus...and it was 'their pleasure.'

So as for me and my house, we are gonna eat chickn' at Chick fil a...

Are we haters! 

NOPE, we're just gonna 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
