Girls, Girls, Girls

Last weekend Jarom and Adrien went to San Diego and I got to babysit the girls. It was a lot of fun. Saturday morning Emmie had a dance recital dress rehearsal in Alpine and so the night before they all got baths and I curled their hair in sponge curlers. Allie and Kate wouldn't sleep in theirs, so they took them out. The next morning Emmie said, "Grammy, I am very particular about my hair!" I said, "Well, I only had one girl and she was doing her own hair by the time she was in 1st grade and so I am not so good with the hair." I took her curlers out and Wahlaa, beautiful!! She was very excited about it. Kate, Allie and I watched as Emmie did her dance and then we went out into the hallway for pictures. All the other mothers were primming and fussing over their girls with hairspray, makeup, etc. Do mothers really do that? Anyway, Emmie said, "Grammy, we forgot makeup!" I knelt down right in front of her and said, "Emmie you are so beautiful you don't need makeup." She agreed with that (to my delight). She did say, "I think I should have brought some lipstick though." Oh dear! Well, we had a great time. After we went to the rehearsal we stopped off at McDonald's for lunch. That night we had a PJ party and watched Hairspray. It was fun because we all tried to do the dance steps.

I have decided that little Kate is a nurturer. She is the one that takes care of everybody elses needs. She will run around getting drinks, goodies, etc. to share with others. Allie is very, very active and always likes to be busy. She is a good big sister to Kate and Emmie is a good big sister to both Kate and Allie. Here the girls are at McDonald's.

Here is Emmie in her costume for the rehearsal. Come to find out we had it on wrong. The red shirt is suppose to be tucked under the skirt because the skirt has cute suspenders. I don't know anything.....Well, I take that back, I know how to help with baseball and football uniforms, but dancing costumes, I need some practice. ;)
