Kid to Kid

We discovered this fantastic store by our house called Kid to Kid.  You can bring in your old toys and clothes to get rid of and buy new things for your kids!  Nana was kind enough to give the girls an extra $5 each to spend, since they helped out with cleaning at her house.  The girls were soo excited to spend their money (I ended up spending more than the $5 each because we had some great finds and I couldn't resist).  Avril was about to start school at a new preschool since I was transferring to a different Chase branch, so she wanted to buy a new dress for her first day.  We found a dress that she loved, some new sandals, and cute hair bows for her to wear.  We also bought her a new backpack for when she starts kindegarten (yikes!)  McKel got a new swimsuit and they both found some cute new PJ's.

McKel was mostly excited about riding this bike around the store...

McKel is all ready for bed in her new princess pajamas!  Bandaid is from a fall she took trying to climb up on a stool... it is rare that McKel does not have some sort of owie, she is not afraid to try anything.

She always needs her apple juice...

Avril was so excited for her first day of school that she laid out her new dress and hair bows and shoes, and asked mommy to curl her hair.  Here she is with her curl formers in, new pajamas, and ready for bed!  She was so cute, and couldn't wait for her first day at her new school!

So lucky to have the sweetest, most adorable daughters on the planet.

And here are the girls the next morning, ready for preschool:

New dress, new hair bows, new sandals, curled hair, one excited girl!!
