Girls Gala

Last night Ava went to the Girls Gala at school.  She eagerly anticipates this event.

She gets spoiled!  First Ava and I spend about an hour primping together.  I painted her fingernails and toenails and then we curled her hair.  I was offering her jewelry to wear and a bow for her hair, but she wanted none of it!  I get it, little one, accessories irritate me too!  (As an aside, it's kind of funny that Carter is much more interested in wearing accessories than his sister.  It's not uncommon for him to wear more than one paracord bracelet, a necklace and a hat.)    

Anyways, back to Ava.  She also went out to Red Robin for dinner!  We had a little hiccup and the van got a nail in the tire.  The boys and I had to drive in the jeep and pick them both up and take them to the dance.  Although she got there a little late, she was able to enjoy it!

Ava and Oscar - there was a movie theme

I'm so glad she was able to have a good time, despite our hiccup.

The good news?  Our baby sitter was able to come over on short notice and put the kids to bed, while Mike and I changed the tire and put on the spare.  Thankfully they were able to repair our tire so we didn't have to buy a new one.  We couldn't have asked for a better outcome!
