The Sistas Do Charlotte

What a weekend it has been. My sisters, Dawn and Dolly, came for a little visit this weekend and we have gone full speed. We started the weekend off by going to Sarah Johnson's first birthday party, but unfortunately I forgot my camera! It was a sweet party and we enjoyed ourselves. After we went home and freshened up, we left the kids at home with Roy and the girls and I hit South Park mall for a little shopping and registering for Baby Seckman at Pottery Barn Kids. Dolly doesn't know what she's having yet, so we (again, I feel like I'm registering!!) couldn't register for everything:

Dolly was a little nervous to walk in and tell the ladies she needed to register, but I helped her overcome that little setback! When we got to the changing pad covers, Dolly said "Now, wait. What is this for?" I had to stop and give a little demo on changing pads.

Dolly bought her little one his/her first prize. A cute little camel colored cardi (cardigan). Here is the proud mama checking out the sizes.

Dawn had to look for a prize of her own. She saw this giraffe printed bag at one of the mall kiosks and she was smitten. Here is the saleslady holding up a mirror--or as she said it, "Meerrow"--for Dawn to see how she looks with it. She liked what she saw because she is now the proud owner of that beauty.

While we were waiting on Dawn to buy the purse, this little pooch passed us by. Dolly followed the proud owner to ask for a picture and she gladly accepted. Actually, the lady told Dolly that "Prancer LOVES to pose for pictures". Weird, I know. But hey, anyone who gets a stroller for their dog is a little strange. Plus, the lady had on black and pink to match Prancer's ride.


We started to get a little thirsty, so we looked around to find a little treat. The pregnant lady wanted a smoothie, so smoothies it was. She LOVED her smoothie.

Dawn and I did, too.

Oh yes we did. Roy and I took the girls to Mac's Speed Shop for a little bar-b-que after church on Sunday. Roy took Caroline home and the rest of us did a little shopping at Crate and Barrel, took Dolly to Destination Maternity and then headed on to Babies R Us to do some more registering!

Dolly finally got to park in the "Expectant Mothers" parking spot.

Here's the proud mom getting ready to start her wish list.

We hit that store like it was on fire. The registering system was down so we had to register by hand! Here we are looking at receiving blankets. I had to give another demo to Dolly about these types of blankets. She's learning, though. She's learning.

Auntie Dawnie came through for me again! Roy Austin spent the day with the ladies and he was a trooper. Dawn took care of him and did a superb job! We jokingly refer to her as a "the nanny" in our family because she is great at taking care of all of the kids and putting them to sleep! She did not dissapoint today. No sirree.

Bless his sweet, little heart. He was exhausted by the time we left the store. I think he was asleep within 1 minute of this picture being taken.

After a quick dinner of leftovers, Caroline's Aunties took her out for some ice cream and girl time in Dawn's convertible. Caroline thought she was SOOO cool and came back very hyped up ond girl power and a wad of bubble gum in her mouth. She was in heaven.

Now we are sitting on the couch in our comfy clothes, watching The Bachelor Marathon on VH1 with Roy, and we are tired. (By the way, remember Trista and Alex?!). Tomorrow Dawn goes back to VA and Dolly and I are doing...guess what? Yep. Hitting more baby places! Oh, and also, Dawn discovered Facebook this weekend, so if y'all have an account, look up "Dawn Reber" and invite her. Have a good week, everyone!
