Visit from Aunt Beth

Thank goodness Aunt Beth came to visit this weekend. Friday night was a big step in our lice treatment protocol. Overnight olive oil treatment.


The olive oil treatment requires putting olive oil on the scalp at 1/2" intervals. Then putting on a shower cap and sleeping like that. It suffocates the lice. Then in the morning you comb it out. 


Ally was very patient, ate ice cream and watched tv.


Becky was not as patient. 


She was grumpy and unhappy.



But they did it! And in the morning I spent 2 hours combing out their hair. 2 more comb outs this week and we can be done.


Saturday morning Becky took Ally to ballet so Beth and I could go shopping. 


Saturday afternoon Ally worked out on her bar for a long time. Beth got to see her gymnastics routine. But afterwards Ally was so hot she put a cool cloth on her head. Here she is eating a PB honey sandwich, drinking Gatorade, and playing Minecraft. Gotta refuel after that workout.


Later that night we watched Princess Diaries. Ally loved it.


Sunday morning was craft time. Serious crafters at work here.


Ally was thrilled with the project:


 It has lights, It is a heart marquee. Ally said it looked like something from Pottery Barn.




Beth always braids Ally's hair when she is visiting. 


  There is not much better than a girl who feels beautiful!


Niece and Aunt love.


We thought Ally looked like a celebrity with her sunglasses!
Of course she is always a super star to us.
