Bathing Beauties & Precious Playmates

Sophie was in heaven - she loves taking baths with her friends as there are so many new and interesting toys she can enjoy which she doesn't have at her home. The girls had a bubble bath... and while we were turned around they dumped the entire bottle of bubbles in the water. No wonder they are smiling ear to ear!

Nothing more endearing to a mommy than the sound of your own daughter's laughter. Savannah has the coolest playhouse in her room. The girls would disappear for a long time and be "making coffee", cooking for us in the play kitchen in the little house...basically having the time of their lives! I didn't realize that Sophie is at an age where she parrallel plays. It's so amazing to see her grow up!

So, when they got tired of playing house, they moved on to playing dressing up. Sophie in her high heel princess shoes and Savannah with her tiara and wand... climbing by themselves to the top of Savannah's bunk bed. I can't get enough of my little girl!

The great thing about Dallas is they get the first of most things that make it to Texas. I have been wanting to try Sprinkles from Beverly Hills cupcakes for some time now. Sprinkles is a gourmet cupcake store which sells $4 cupcakes in all sorts of flavors. I've never had a $4 cupcake, so I was intrigued on whether I would think it's worth all the rage or not. So, Friday night, Jen & I and the 3 kids headed to Sprinkles, picked up several red velvet cupcakes and went to the renovated North Park Mall to enjoy our dessert before dinner! Sophie insisted she enjoy the entire cupcake herself! Mine was delicious and finished in new time flat!

Memories are made when the most random, ridiculous things happen and make you laugh. After a trip through the childrens stores and a late dinner in the food court, Jen and I took Sophie, Savannah & Will to see the turtles. For some reason the girls decided to take off their shoes and slide down the mall ramp instead. They can make a game out of anything! It was close to 9pm, Jen & I are sitting on the floor of North Park Mall dressed in super-casual attire, watching our daughters crawl & roll around the floor. We couldn't believe how our lives had changed-- years ago, I would have been dressed up and never caught dead sitting on the mall floor, much less be there at 9pm on a Friday night!
