SHOPAHOLIC

Mimi's fashion clothing is still jeans and t-shirt, Lightening McQueen or Sponge Bob to be exact. Due to her friends Maggi, Erin and Samantha all that is slowly changing. Maggi got her hooked on shopping at Nordstroms, Erin and Samantha are having an influence on getting her to wear more dresses other than the one and only dress she has that is until this afternoon.

Tomorrow is Mimi and Blake's graduation. She is all hyped up about it. Over and over she asks if Blake will look handsome and she will look pretty. I tell her that Keri always has Blake looking good and Mimi will go to the hairdresser tomorrow and Christine will have her looking pretty.

This afternoon mama asked Mimi if she wanted to wear a nice pant outfit or dress tomorrow. The girl answered DRESS! OMG!!! Mama decided that we would try the Bellevue Nordstrom since we have yet to go there. Mama did not find it that imprssive. It was ok though. We were able to get a couple of nice dresses for tomorrow's celebration and this coming summer. When mama finished paying for the items, she looked down to find the Nordstrom bag and Mimi missing. The girl was already heading for the shoe dept. with the bag in hand saying C'mon mom!

When all was said and done, we headed over to the Whole Foods Market. Mama just loves that market. Unfortunately there is none close to our home. Whoever said that little girls are dainty eaters have not met our Mimi. Mimi ate breakfast and lunch at home, after gymnastic class she had a snack in the car. Upon arriving at Nordstrom she was hungry again. Unfortunately the Bellevue Plaza does not have a food court, only restaurants. Mama bought her some sushi while shopping at Whole Foods. When we arrived home she ate again. I never saw a kid who could eat so much and stay so tiny. She must be going through a growth spurt now. Normally she eats quite a bit but every 4-6 months she seems to eat a whole lot more than usual. EGADS!!!

WILD WEATHER

I thought that we were supposed to be having warm weather in June. NOT!!! When our good friends Allyn, Teri and Samantha went home to Southern California I swear they took the sunshine with them. Those little stinkers! While they were here the weather was gorgeous and I tell you the day after they left our weather started going downhill pretty darn fast.

Yesterday we experienced it all. Here in western Washington we had strong winds that knocked out the power lines (about 70,000 homes without power), it also uprooted trees, we also had rain, hail and even snow up in Snoqualamie (?) Pass. EGADS!!!
