Super Fun Sunday

It was a late night last night, Ally and Becky were visiting Grandma Debbie and Poppy and their return trip flight was delayed by 3 hours. But that didn't stop us from having a fantastic Sunday.

Alice and Cheryl came over for a play date. 


Ally's classmate and our neighbor Sophocles invited Ally over to see that his hamsters had a baby! Ally cared for them for a week when he went on vacation. Alice remembers Sopho from when she went to their school, so later she and Ally went over to see the baby. The 3 of them ended up playing Minecraft and then walking to another classmate's house a block away, Catalina, she just got a puppy, so they went to meet Chica!

Our puppy waited patiently at home for the girls to return.

After lunch I had told the girls I'd put blue streaks in their hair. Ally asked me secretly if they could have a whole spa day experience. So I wipped up some home made face scrub (equal parts brown sugar, oatmeal and olive oil) and set up a nail station for nail tech Cheryl to run. 


That is Cheryl our nail technician posing with the JBA Spa mascot dog. That is Spa Jah-Bah, the words rhyme.

The girls applied the face scrub.




Alice said it didn't tast very good, but made her skin really soft.


Ally said they needed time to relax at the spa. Spa Assistant Becky made them lemon water and They laid down with hot washcloths on their faces and listened to steel drum guitar Hawaiian music.
 

I colored hair while Cheryl did nails, Becky cleaned up and helped with supplies as needed. 




Cheryl and Becky each asked for a streak as well.


The girls were delighted.




So were the moms.



And below in the sunshine you can see the streaks a bit better.



And to top off the great day, USA gymnastics are on tv tonight, and Ally's favorite, Aly made the individual finals next week. Team USA did a great job.


And my gymnast spent the commercials working on her handstand and doing drills to help her with her front walk over. 


And doing weightlifting by lifting Carl!
