Insta-Friday

Happy Friday!
Here’s a little look at our simple everyday life at Haus of Girls this past week via my Instagram phone photos.

  

Last Friday our family walked in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Light The Night” walk after raising money for my second cousin, Trevor.

Everyone attending, which numbers were in the thousands,  received a balloon filled with a tiny light.  As everyone paraded through the city it was such a beautiful sight for a beautiful cause.

Saturday we celebrated a special little boy’s fifth birthday with all things Mario.

Happy birthday Mason!

 

I killed this scary creature.                                                            Sophie practiced patterns.                                     

I got baby snuggles while watching the sidewalk chalk gang.

 

I tried on my purty shoes for my sister Maggie’s upcoming wedding. 
And might I just say, thank goodness for online shopping or I never would have found the time to forage the malls for cute yellow shoes with a small-ish heel.  Gotta love being almost six feet tall. 

   

This biker chick was all smiles despite her atrocious cough.

Someone used her special “wear a hat” coupon that she earned thanks to good behavior.

Thoughtful at it’s best.

It has arrived!

Gracie’s alphabet skills.                                                                                    My kid corralling skills.

Insta-Friday: My sister’s dream house

A glance at our fun week, and trip to my sister Haley’s, via my Instagram phone photos.

 

Gracie had her heart on winning our “sleep contest” in the car on the two hour trip to Haley’s, so she covered up for the entire trip.


 

We finally got to check out her new renovations when we arrived!
Her bathroom is out of control!

Love the chandy!



Amazing.



I was lucky enough to test out their incredible shower. 

There was room for our whole family!

Posting outside of the kitchen renovation side…. hip pop.


Time for a walk.

Photo op on our walk .

The perfect day for us girls while the boys golfed.

The cutest baby in town.


 
Racing to Haley’s front door!

When we returned home it was time to get back in the swing of things.  Gracie had her first day of Preschool on Tuesday and I had no children (of my own!) at home for the first time in seven years.

 
The fancy china came out for waffles in the morning and then there were a few tears from Mommy.
Even Mia and Sophie, at the thought of their little sister growing up so fast, shed some tears! 



Thank God for good friends who knew I would be a little down this week with all my girls gone. 
Candy and magazines did the trick! Thank you Kelly!


A very pink sky and some bike riding on Thursday night.

And a Rollo McFlurry completed my crazy, hectic, tear-filled week.
