The Help

 

 Couldnt. Put. It. Down.

Ask my brothers, who teased me mercilessly, and they'll tell you I never get this way about reading.  Ever.  But 530 pages of this novel werent enough for me.  If it had been a true story I'd be scouring the internet for more info on these people.  

Summary here.   

Movie comes out August 12.

Get it. Read it. Love it.

Shrek the Musical

My small girlfriends and I were able to go to Shrek the Musical the other night, thanks again to Uncle Paul!  Uncle Paul is SO good to me! :)  We had a great time including a sleep over!

The girls -

The Musical!

I thought it was good, especially when we moved to the Mezzanine seats.  But the singing was good and the set and props were very cool!  Recommend!

Berries, Beach, Bike, Brownie Batter, BOGO!

When your Bestie invites you for a fun Saturday using SO much alliteration your head spins, you know you have to say, YAAAAAAA! Love to!!!!! :)

Scream in the Tunnel!

This is exactly what I did both times I rode my bike through the tunnel on the White Pine Trail!  As a Youth Group we braved the weather and set out for Belmont with visions of Trailside Treats dancing in our heads!

Smurfs! :)

For the Fans

I've had an uprising of requests for more Puff appearances on the blog...I try to keep them to a minimum, but I also like to keep the fans happy!  So here are the phases of exhaustion as demonstrated by the Puffster!

Do you know why Cats dont go to heaven?

  

'Cause they're already there!  clearly!

Georgetown Cupcake

One of the highlights of my recent trip to DC was going to Georgetown Cupcake.  Grace and Rita love watching DC Cupcake on tv, and since I so enjoyed my trip to Sprinkles this winter, we decided to do a comparison shop!  It was so fun and the girls just loved it!  They even asked if Sophie and Katherine were there!

Lovely presentation - counts for a lot!

The girls :)

SO excited to see our cupcakes

Andrea and me

Very excited

So I guess I'm becoming a bit of a cupcake connoisseur!  Not all bad!

Fun on Flintlock Rd

Over the weekend I was out in DC with my brother and his family.  Their tales of life can be seen here.  The tale of our weekend in photos can be seen in the following:

There was some shopping...

A trip to DC Cupcake - more complete details to come...

Firefly catching...

Playing in the pool...

Some riding in the car...

And a whole lot of goofing around...

Great weekend for sure!  Good times on Flintlock Rd!
