This week I decided to use a gift certificate I have had for awhile to the little nail salon in our neighborhood town center. Mark was off for the day, so while Lyla was taking her nap, I decided to ask Nina if she wanted to come with me. She was SO excited to go. She picked out her own nail polish (electric blue color with glitter), and got to sit in the big chairs next to me and got her finger and toe nails painted while I got a pedicure. She was so talkative to all the ladies in the nail shop which was so cute. She asked them a lot of questions and answered all of theirs. She was really a lot of fun to have along. It was a nice little treat for both of us. She did decide, however, at the end of the day that she wanted the polish off her finger nails, so that ended up being a short lived thing, but the polish on the toes is still there.
Nina and Lyla have been asking for pillow pets for awhile. If you don't know what pillow pets are, don't feel like you're missing anything. I had no idea what they were either until an occasional PBS Kids show or something of the like started popping up in our house. For anyone who doubts that advertisers market to kids, just watch the pillow pets commercial and you'll see that they know exactly how to sell their product. In one of her quite convincing petitions for a pillow pet, Nina practially quotes the commercial, word-for-word, as to why pillow pets are the absolute coolest thing ever. Anyway, Lyla got on the bandwagon, and we finally are the owners of two pillow pets. Nina gets allowance and Lyla doesn't yet, so we didn't think it was completely fair to make Nina pay for all of her pillow pet with allowance while Lyla got her for "free" so Nina covered half of the pillow pet price with her money and we chipped in the rest. Here is Lyla with the two pillow pets (Nina's is the pig and Lyla's is the bunny) who she gave bucket hats to then decided to wear one of her own. I have to admit, the pillow pets really are cute and soft, and the girls do love them.

OMG - we are a proud owner of a pillow pet too! We have the dog, which Natalie received for her birthday. I didn't know what one was either, until she quoted the entire commercial and directed me to the website!!
