Girls Night

For a long time I have wanted to do a girls night with our nieces that live here in Boise. They have asked me to do if for a long time too. They even had the whole night planned. They wanted to make caramel popcorn, watch a movie, paint their fingernails and color. We finally had our night scheduled for Friday, January 17th. We picked up Kaitlin, Kaeli and Ryann and brought them home. The whole way home all they could talk about was how they wanted to dress Vaughn up, do Vaughn's make up, and put Vaughn in a dress! He wasn't too happy about their plans though. 

We got home and they wanted to take a bubble bath (they had just come from swimming at the YMCA). While they took their bath, Vaughn cooked a couple pizzas. After bathing and dinner, I made the caramel popcorn while they colored. I had found some little Hello Kitty coloring/sticker kits that the girls loved. 

Then we all settled in to watch Tangled and eat popcorn. I just couldn't resist giving the girls a pair of sparkly, hot pink, clip on earrings to put on Vaughn. They all tackled him and put the earrings on him!

I just love the looks on all their faces and especially Vaughn's. :)

After the movie, we all went to bed. Poor Ryann woke up in the night with an ear ache. We didn't even have any children's medicine. We felt a little helpless. Vaughn had a bunch of doTerra oils so we looked up what to do with those. We used a little of the melaleuca oil and lavender oil around her ear along with a hot, wet wash cloth. It seemed to help enough that she was able to go back to sleep for the rest of the night. We found out later that the poor thing actually had a double ear infection! 

In the morning we made crepes for breakfast. We really had such a fun time with the girls. They are all so sweet and cute. We missed Lydia and Addie though!
