best foot forward...

spending girl time together with my girlies :)
i love it.
i'm think'n a pedicure is in order....
ya..
that's my idea of a treat ~pamper'n for my gals with my gals!

what a great way to close out summer holidays

eryn & dani have gone for pedis with me before a long time ago

buuuuut, for roni & jordyn...it was the first time!!
they.
were.
pumped!

they(roni & jordyn) thought they would just be getting their toenails painted....no soaking or scrubbing or scrapping or picking or clipping or massaging involved at all!
ha!
aren't they in for a surprise?!

we pick out our colours...

egg shell blue is her colour of choice...

pretty coral...

aqua blue for roni...

lavender purple for this little lady who looks like she just rolled outta bed!!

all set for some pampering....big smile!

normally, i'm good with people massaging or touching my feet, but this time, i almost peed my pants laughing so hard couldn't help laughing....ooops!

these chicks think i'm weird....that's ok, cuz i am!!

putting on the polish...

sit'n under the foot dryer...

our pretty feet :)

eryn's the only one who didn't get a design on her big toe...

so much fun doing this for my lovely ladies.
they've worked hard this summer and always pick up the slack for me at home~so nice!

now,i must find something relaxing to do with the boy...
a treat at timmies is a great start...
physical activities may be out for a while since he fractured his wrist :(
at least he's still smiling :)
i think a game of laser tag in the fall would be grand....we'll see~hmmmm

gotta say 'good~bye' to summer soon though~boo
but still totally enjoying these warm days.

next...
back to school~sigh

canada day weekend @ elim...

yay!!!

summer!!!

it's hot, humid and time to head north for a weekend get~away with the fam jam....big smile!

the plan:
