Fall Break

October has been super busy, with both girls gearing up for competition season.  We haven't been back to Memphis to visit since Christmas,  so the girls and I left Thursday night after school to go visit friends and family.

Thursday night we got in town about 7:30 and went to mom's house.   The girls were do excited to be there and just ran around the house like crazy.  Friday was a day filled with old friends.   Aubrey had a bff in Memphis who has called several times to see if we were coming to visit anytime.   I dropped Aubrey off at Jessa's house and they spent the entire day playing at the zoo.  So fun!

Madelyn and I did a little shopping, then I dropped her off with Nana so I could catch up with old friends.   I had a long lunch with my dear friend Joey, then went to FedEx to visit my former colleagues and friends.   It was so good to see everyone again!

The girls and I went to visit Granny in the nursing home that afternoon.   It's always difficult to see Granny in her current condition,  but we love her so much and the girls always ask about her.

After dinner with Nana and PawPaw we went to my best friend,  Emily's house.  The girls and her boys were so happy to see each other and ran around all night.  I can't even explain how much I love and miss this sweet family!

I love Mason's pose in this pic.  So funny!!

Saturday morning the girls woke up pretty early and we ate breakfast with Nana and PawPaw.  Then we headed out again to go see my sweet friend, Erin and meet her newest son.  We weren't able to stay very long and I didn't even get any pictures.  But it's always so much fun to see her :-)

We made it to Mimi and Poppie's house around lunchtime and headed out on a mission to get Halloween costumes.  Aubrey knew she wanted to be Spider Girl but Madelyn had no idea what she wanted.  She didn't like anything that I said was "cute" and finally decided on a Broken Doll costume.  She thought it was a little creepy but not too scary.  We went home, got dressed and headed out to eh Zoo Boo.  There are so many things that I love about middle Tennessee, but the zoo here is nothing compared to the Memphis Zoo.  We really have missed it and were so glad to be back.  it was so much fun riding rides, trick or treating and just hanging out.

Dressed and ready to go!

They sure love their Mimi!

We even got Poppie in a picture!

Madelyn thought the mummy was hilarious!

Being silly late at night after the zoo.  Aubrey always wants us to take selfies!

Sunday was busy as well.  While we were driving into town, Gisele called and asked of the girls would be interested in going to the Orpheum to see Cinderella.  They've never been to a musical like that before, so I knew they would love it.  We relaxed all morning then headed out to the mall to get some new clothes for the show.  I think we spent 3 hours in the children's department at Dillard's, bu both girls finally found outfits that they loved.  We headed downtown around 4:30 and walked to Kooky Canuck's to eat dinner.  The show was absolutely incredible, and we loved every minute of it!!

Pretty girls....

Excited for the show to start!!!  Aubrey has been begging for "fake" glasses and was happy to finally get some!

Fall Break really just flew by.  That was the last weekend before competition season starts, so the madness has just begun!!!
