Hair and Nails

Last Friday my mom took Juliana for a manicure - now she has had as many professional manicures as I have had in my life - that would be 1.  My mom was sitting next to Juliana having her nails done as well.

When asked what color she wanted - "Rainbow".  My mom was quick to remind her that she was only allowed to have one color and it needed to be light-colored.  Later she found out that she could have stickers painted on her nails.  She selected pink flowers for one finger on each hand and then butterflys for another finger.  The women couldn't understand her request for butterflys and apparently Juliana thinks that the way you speak to people who are not native English speaking is to talk slowly and loudly - BUT-TER-FLY.  And I guess it worked since she ended up with what she wanted.  We will need to work on her communication skills.

Saturday we went for much needed haircuts.  It was a salon filled weekend.

Kennywood - June 2009

We went to Kennywood today - the weather was beautiful and the park was not crowded - short lines for most of the rides. The boys were with us, but their only ride was in the stroller. Juliana went on a few rides in Kiddyland and was bored...she is into the big rides now. The Paratrouper, Kangaroo, and Whip are favorites from last year. Last year she was so excited for a big rollercoaster but did not enjoy the Jack Rabbit. This time she loved it! She wanted to go on a water ride so Scott took her on the Raging Rapids...she did not love that. The best part of the ride was that the water washed the chocolate ice cream out of her hair.

Last Week of Preschool

Last week was the final week of preschool for the year. She will be spending the summer at the school's childcare program and back for 4-yr preschool in the fall.

In the last few days, they went on a field trip to the zoo - she was so excited in her purple and pink, ready to go see the animals.

They had a carnival with races after school last Tuesday. And on Wednesday there was an end-of-year program for the parents where the preschool class sang songs, told stories and received a certitifcate.

Friday was the last day of preschool for the year. She loves her teacher Ms Moran and fortunately Ms Moran will be teaching the 4-yr class next year so we will have another year with her.

Mommy's Birthday

A fun photo shoot in the front yard before going to dinner on my birthday (5/31). Juliana wouldn't smile for the pictures, so were singing Happy Birthday which produced lots of silly pictures.

A Quick Photo Shoot

These pictures are from earlier in the week - I set the tripod up for a quick photo shoot; Juliana was full of personality that morning!
