Too Nice Not to Mention!

I will probably have to backtrack after this post, since I'm probably missing some very important events, but this past weekend was so awesome, I can't not document it.  By awesome...I mean the weather.  Everyone who knows me well, knows that I despise winter.  I just hate to be cold (or too hot..but I'll just save my complaining for Summer)!  So, I had no complaints whatsoever that it barely snowed this winter.  I think Jason shoveled like once the entire winter...how cool!  Needless to say, I survived the winter, but never would have expected these amazing record temperatures in March...we're talking upper 70's and even into the 80's.

It was the perfect weekend to take Sydney shopping for a new wardrobe since she keeps growing way too quickly...my babies aren't babies anymore!  Lizzy went to see Disney on Ice with my mom (which she LOVED) so it was nice to spend the day with JUST Sydney.  That doesn't happen very often.  Usually it's Sydney who is off somewhere and Lizzy is left at home, so this was very special for both kids.  We took Sydney to downtown Northville and it was gorgeous.  I kept saying over and over that I felt like we were on vacation.  People were just leisurely strolling up and down the streets enjoying the weather, playing in the park, eating outside and drinking smoothies.  We went to a store called Baby Baby which actually goes all the way up to teens (they should change the name), but it's this amazing consignment shop that only sells high end clothing and doesn't except anything with stains or any issues.  We bought Sydney SO much stuff all from her favorite stores...we even found her pink baseball cleats for t-ball!  She's a pretty lucky girl...when you combine all of the stuff my mom bought with her at Justice the day before...she literally has a brand new wardrobe. After shopping, we sat outside and had a nice lunch...I could have sat there for hours...but back to reality...that was the end of my two hour vacation.  On the way home, we gave into Sydney who was begging us to stop at Justice on the way home (even though she went there the day before) because she HAD to buy a sleeping mask (which I'm sure she will  never wear).  But, it was her day and we bought it for her because...I guess we rock!  Lizzy was a little bit jealous of Sydney's new shoes and they caused quite a few arguements since Lizzy refused to take them off the entire weekend even though they were a little big!  My next mission is to find Lizzy some sparkly sandals...it's all she talks about! (She also wants a sparkly dog...a real one...the kid is crazy).

The rest of the weekend was spent at the park (oh, and dinner with Grammie and Grandpa).  It was too nice to sit inside!

Straight Lined Princesses

Although Sydney doesn't dislike Princesses, she went through a phase where she LOVED them, but is over the obsessive phase.  Lizzy, on the other hand, is in that obsessive stage, but she has taken the obsession to a whole new level...kind of like a compulsive level.

Not only do we have little princesses coming out of every crevice of our house, but they all have to be standing the right way.  If they aren't, Lizzy will have a fit!  She is very orderly and organized with these princesses, and she can literally play with them for hours.  First all of the princesses face left....ALL of them.  Then, they all face right, and then forward, and then they all lay down.  And then they "fly" (according to Lizzy) into another room and seem to all land facing the exact same way...imagine that!

I'm sure it's all just a phase, but it's just so funny how particular she is about them.  Oh, and no one can play with her...this is a solo operation!!
