ABC, 123

The girls started school today! Annie wasn't very excited but Shawna was elated to be able to wear her new clothes! Both girls couldn't wait to see their friends! Sorry about the quality of the pics, we were in a hurry and I only had my cell phone camera...

Summers almost over...

The girls start school tomorrow and I'm still in awe at how quickly the summer has gone! Before we know it the leaves will be changing and then the snow will start to fly and I'm totally not ready for any of it!

As 1 last fun hurrah before school I wanted to make today special and my good friend Becky Warner provided the idea by giving me a gift certificate for my birthday to The Bead Fairy! What an awesome store!! I decided that it would be fun to go make bead watches, go to lunch, and just have a girls morning/afternoon together before I ship them off to school come tomorrow, AND with the bead watches they made they'll have a new accessory to wear to school too! We had such a blast we can't wait to go back and add more bead bands to our collection! Here are the finished products...

What do you think???
