back-to-school week

Carly and I started our Back-to-School week today {we like to make it a week long holiday}. No work for me and lots of time together! Today started with one of our usual back-to-school errands - a hair cut. She looks mad but she was actually excited about getting it cut. She talked me into another inch. All she wanted was to still be able to pull it into a ponytail...that's my girl!

Next stop was a new errand on our list - eye brow wax! Carly has been seriously concerned about her eye brows since the end of school last year. I think one particularly mean little girl in her room made a comment about it. I told her we would talk about it before school started this year. She still felt strongly. So, here she is {in a really cute shirt her Nonna bought her yesterday} having her first eyebrow wax.

We stopped by the post office to drop off some back-to-school good mail. When we made it home, Carly found she had her own good mail. There was a box full of goodies from MamMam and Grandaddy. There was a little cork board for her locker, super cute flower magnets also for the locker, "4th graders are #1" pencils, and some really cute erasers. The girl seriously loves getting good mail!

We rented a movie- Hotel for Dogs {seriously starting to like that little video vending machine with movies for $1}. We compromised on games. Carly's choices were Life and Monopoly. I just wasn't in the mood for those. I chose Skip-Bo, Sorry, or Yatzee. We played several rounds of Sorry.

We climbed into bed and read a little, and then we made a list for tomorrow!
