Fun Times With The Girls

Lauren is currently obsessed with "Squinkies," which are little squishy pencil toppers that come in plastic bubbles. (She's been collecting little vending machine squishy pencil toppers since about a year ago, for $.50 each.) Squinkies aren't available in stores around here and they're sold out online everywhere except Amazon and Ebay. Amazon costs double what they are going to cost at Walmart, when they get them in stock and Ebay is ridiculous. Landon thinks we should buy tons of them and sell them at Christmas time, because we think they have the makings of one of those toys everyone wants but can't find anywhere because they sell out so fast.

As badly as Lauren wants a set of Squinkies, Emma wants a flat iron and her own light-weight hair dryer. I can't believe we're talking about Christmas lists already.

Here's another one of Emma's new outfits. We bought this at Downeast Outfitters...a store she LOVES. She wears it to church without the leggings. I'd love it if she could learn how to pose with a more natural smile. That smile has got to hurt.

Check out the size of this instrument! Holy Crap! Emma is about 5'3", so that gives you an idea of how big that sucker is. I went to pick it up from the middle school so she could have one at home to practice, and I had to call Landon to come over with the truck because it could not fit in the car no matter what I did. I'll be really happy if we don't break it while we're borrowing it this year. It's got to cost a lot.
