Father and Son Outing/Girls Night

Last weekend was a good bonding experience.  The boys Bo, Conrad, and Jackson went camping and Hailey, Brayden and I went out.  I’m not totally sure what the boys did.  But, I know they ate great food, marshmallows, and stayed up until 10:30.

We went to Claire’s in the Mall and got Hailey’s ears pierced.  I told Hailey when she had enough courage to pierce her ears she could do it.  Yesterday was the day.  I wasn't sure if she would, but when we got there a girl was getting her ears done and Hailey got to watch the whole thing.  I think it gave her some confidence since she was older and didn’t cry. 

She was very nervous and couldn't hold still, but she did great.  She only had one tear and said, that hurt a lot more than I thought it would.  It really helped to have two people doing it so they did it at the same time.  The earrings she picked out were really cute too.  Way to go Hailey!

After that we went to show off her earrings to grandma and grandpa.  Then we went to dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe (Craigo’s).  This is Hailey’s favorite place.  She can eat like eight pieces of pizza and salad.  I’m not sure how it all fits but it always does.  Once we stuffed ourselves we went to Walmart for treats and a Redbox.  She picked a Barbie movie.  We headed home, put Brayden to bed, and had the rest of the night to ourselves.  I think it was a success because she said, “This is the best night ever”, about 100 times.  It was really a great night.  I jut love spending one on one with the kids.  It was one of my favorite nights with her too.

Here are the before's...you can just see the fear in her face

Here she is a little started after...And of course I didn't get a cute after because I forgot.  UGH!

It was funny because when the boys got home she kept telling them (nicely) that they should go outside so our time didn't have to end.  I just love our kids…
