A little bit of everything this weekend

On Saturday, Jr. Princess got her very first play date at our house (though she has been enjoying playing with Starshine's friends for years). She was so excited, that she was flying around the house getting things neat and organized in anticipation. They had a fun few hours of slip and slide (it was flaming hot), water balloon induced giggles, dress up, and who knows what kind of fun hiding out in her room.


Later that evening we were all trying to relax and unwind from the fun when it was time for the traditional family trip under the stairs as tornado weather blew through...Last year it was a lot easier because Starshine slept the whole time and had no memory of it. http://shoreviewstories.blogspot.com/2009/08/eventful-saturday.html
This time the poor thing was totally worried the whole time. Jr. Princess, on the other hand, enjoyed staying up way past her bed time thoroughly! She thought it was a great opportunity to use her glow stick.

Today while relaxing before our family outing to the nearby lake, Starshine was super excited to pull out her loose lower tooth. That's five teeth gone in the last few weeks - she'll be drinking though a straw soon! Oh by the way, Grandma L won the tooth pool. OK, she won by default because NO ONE ELSE ENTERED, but she was actually only a few days off on her guess.


Finally, file this one under "I don't know how kids come up with this stuff..." Jr. Princess and Starshine performed a concert that included Starshine playing the piano WHILE Princess decked her out in various dress-up accessories. We'll call it performance art?
