MoZart... it's dindin time!

This is Saturday night. It was the night we all went out to eat together. ABove is Riley, Mindy, and Jessi. Below is Gabbi, Susan, Ellie, Kacy, and Blue.

We ate out on the patio so we could overlook our beautiful Ouachita River. What I forgot about was our beautiful 4" mosquitos!!

Gabbi was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open. She ended up sleeping right across my lap for the entire meal!

Ellie on the other hand would NEVER miss out on an opportunity to be all up in the mix!! She was FAR from going to sleep!!!

In fact, she decided it was time for a little beauty shop!! And Kacy was the willing subject.

Oh yeah, baby. Kacy was a trooper. She wore her hair directly on top of her head for most of the meal.

When I asked her if she thought I adequately captured my girls in my descriptions on my blog, she felt the way I describe Ellie may be a little "Gentle". In other words, she is even more rambunctious than she'd imagined. But, she said, "I like it!". And I kinda like it too. I am glad I have a high spirited kiddo!

Jessi got to play too!!

Most of the women at the retreat felt both of my girls were smaller than they actually thought too.

Once we got back home, Ellie cornernered Kacy and Blue and had them come to the kid table to color with her. I believe it was there that she told them that her dog's (LIZZIE!!) name was "Chocolate Thunder". I have NO IDEA where she came up with that one!

And on another occasion, as she was tending her babies, she also cranked out a "Oh, GOSH, child!" to her baby doll.

The girls at the retreat also had the privelege of meeting Big Baby. (Big Baby is having some seriously BAD HAIR days here lately!!) Oh, they also met "Suzie" and "Sweet Darlin'".

And finally, we ended the night with a SECOND banana caramel pie! My stepmom OUTDID herself with these pies. They were da bomb!! Thanks, Rita.

I'll be showing off everyone's finished canvases tomorrow!! Stay tuned. MO
