Last weekend we went to Natchitoches, Louisiana. It's where Steel Magnolia's was filmed. It's only 1.5 hours away.

Guess what we signed up for?

Ballet lessons! They now offer them on Post. We start next week. (The leotard is from 2009 Halloween costume)  

We are still here!

It's been crazy around the Mills house! I will be back tomorrow to update more :)

The childrens play area at the Charleston Aquarium.

My mother in law took us to the Charleston aquarium a couple of weeks ago. We really enjoyed it! Here is Mary Reilly in the sharks mouth.

Don't play on the railroad tracks!

But you can when they don't work anymore :) My dad and the girls in Tryon.

Mary Reilly's first day at "School"

Mary Reilly's first day at "school." She had no problem with me leaving :)

Anna Grace's First day of "School"

Today was Anna Grace's first day of "school." We had a little cry when the teacher took her away (to the gym to play) but soon discovered some new playmates.

Ladson and I went to Brett and Cassy's wedding last weekend in Greenville. Ladson came back to South Carolina to get the girls and I and the wedding just so happened to be on Friday night. We had a great time seeing everyone.

I bought these Buddy Fruits for the girls today. They are all natural fruit blended and they stuck them like a juice box. My girls love them!

Shoes

There is no secret that I like to buy kids shoes. I love Keds! They are classic & white (which goes with everything) and they hold up through 2 kids. If they get dirty just throw them into the wash and they look brand new.
Mary Reilly is now in a size 13 kids. I have found this to be extremely difficult since she is only 3. Keds stops the "T" strap shoes at a size 12. What should my 3 year old wear now? I Can't stand anything that sparkles and absolutely will NOT put them in BLACK..I believe that little girls shouldn't wear black (shoes and clothes) until they get older. In prosecute of finding shoes today this is what I have found....

These (besides the tacky jewel things which are removable.) School is starting next week and the girls needs shoes. Stride Rite has buy one get one 50% off.

Puddle Jumpers I haven't forgotten about you!!!
