Boys against Girls

Matt got tickets to the BYU game in San Diego and decided to take Porter for a boys day. So Eliza, Lily and I decided we would have our own girls day!





Here is what the girls did:
1. We went to a Fall Festival where they had tons of fun old fashioned things for the kids to do. Eliza churned butter, squeezed orange juice, made a beeswax candle, they had a petting zoo and a fairy garden, neckalace beading and picked a pumpkin from the patch. It was at this cute little place that used to be a farm back in the day. Those are hard to come by here in California so alot of people were amazed by it!
2. We went to Party City and picked out Eliza's Halloween costume. She was so excited that I let her decide whatever she wanted to be.
3. Then she picked out her plates and cups for her birthday party. We decided this year we would just do a family party and keep it low key. I guess it inevitable that she is growing up because there was no talking her out of picking Hannah Montana as her theme!
4. We went and got Pedicures with Auntie Heather! Eliza loves doing this! She got purple nails and pink toes both with white polka dots.
5. Ate dinner at Outback with Auntie Heather and our friend Lindsey.
6. Rented a Barbie movie.



Here's what the Boys did:
1. Washed daddy's car and fixed stuff around the house! Porter loves to put on work gloves like Matt and follow him around doing fix its.
2. Got lunch at Wendy's!
3. Took a "Road Trip" to San Diego for the BYU game. Matt and Porter have been waiting for this for a long time. They have been counting down the days and Porter has been telling everyone about it.
4. They got an icecream treat, cheered many times "GO COUGARS!" and high fived each other at every touch down!
5. Stopped for dinner at Taco Bell and watched the Cars movie on the drive home!

Ummm, could Eliza look any more like you? And Porter like Matt? It's uncanny. And what a fun day! I could go for a Girls day with my mom and sister!

I love the photos!!! What a fun day!

I agree with Jill...you have a little girl who looks so much like you and a son who looks just like his daddy.

Who does Lily look like?

You are SO good at making special days! This day was packed with such great memories for the girls and the boys!
Love how you documented the day. You are such a good mom.

We were so sad to miss YO Gabba! We were in Mexico-but will watch for it to air again!!:(

Love you.

What a fun post. and how much I wished I knew where you and Eliza went. Have they had it there for a long time and how come I've never heard of it? I'm a sucker for all those things. And what a cutie Porter is. I love all those pictures of him at the baseball game. I can just hear him doing the chanting and cheering. So cute! Need more pictures of Lily though.
