A Sleepover at Grandma & Grandpa's...

On Friday I picked up Ashleigh after school! She was coming to Grandma & Grandpa's for a sleepover! She couldn't wait! A quick trip to Wal-Mart (you have to take advantage of EVERY opportunity) and we were off! Of course, a trip to Wal-Mart wouldn't be complete without a "little" something! She picked up a "Junie B" book so we could read it at bedtime! A quick dinner, some computer games, a little t.v and it was time for bed!

Saturday morning we got up, had breakfast, showered and headed for the house! Ashleigh hasn't seen it for a little while so major changes were in store! Grandma showed her the neat "magnet" used to pick up nails! She had fun going around picking up the nails off the floor that the framers has dropped! She also "picked" out her bedroom! For some reason...she picked out the farthest one away from the master bedroom! :-) Earlier she picked out the furniture for "that" room! (We've purchased quite a bit of furniture. We just have to give them a delivery date)!

Grandma let her write her name on the floor...but also told her that this was the ONLY time it was o.k. to write on the floors, walls, etc.!!!

After spending some time at the house we had to head back to the motorhome for a quick lunch and then it was time to get our costume on and head over to Fairfield Bay (where Nanna lives). Fairfield Bay was having a special night for Halloween! Grandma wanted some time before to take some pictures. There are some beautiful spots around the "Bay" that are perfect for taking pictures!

We didn't have a lot of time, so we only took pictures in Ashleigh's costume. BTW she's NOT a genie, and NOT a princess! She's a BELLY DANCER! Her choice! :-) You can tell she's developing her own sense of style, especially this year with her costume! She had definite ideas on what she wanted to be and what it had to look like! We bought the pattern and material quite some time ago. Ashleigh didn't really "get" the concept that it didn't have to be exactly like the picture on the pattern as far as color, design on the material, etc.! With a little coaxing, I think she ended up liking what we got...especially the bead trim! :-) I didn't begin to work on it for some time and everytime she talked to me she would ask me, "Grandma, is my costume done yet"? Once I started working on it, she'd ask "how's it look"? I think she really liked it once she saw it! I thought it turned out pretty good, myself! :-)
