Lydia came home from school with a library book yesterday that she "didn't even want." But then I read it to her and she liked it. Fancy Nancy. You know her? That's a fancy way of asking if you are familiar with the Fancy Nancy books.
Then Dad came home and gave me a gift card to one of my favorite restaurants that someone had given him. The Fancy Nancy book was about Nancy getting her parents all fancied out and going out to dinner. So that's what me and the girls did. They picked out their clothes and accessories and picked out a dress for me and we were off for our Fancy Nancy Date.
Lydia's fancy do. I put her hair in a half pony tail and used bobby pins to fancy it out. Pin that friends, pin that.
Garage photo shoot.
We read the book at the restaurant and five times at home.
We did art and counted how many letters were in each family member's name.
We had fancy dessert.
When we left the restaurant they were no longer cooperating in any picture taking.
The end.
Welcome friends, family, randoms, lurkers, blog addicts, fellow desperate moms, and Bono. This blog consists of mostly funny stuff that will make you feel better about yourself. Lots of mom comedy, non-Kodak moments, and un-fashion tips. On Wednesdays I write about my life as a former childhood actress complete with posts about how the entertainment business works, actors I met (or stalked), people and animals I worked with, my Hollywood friends, and photos of former teen heartthrobs. And if that’s not enough to draw you in to follow me . . . I have done some amazing giveaways. A rubber chicken, millions of doll hairs, and unlimited supplies of air. Come join the party.

If Mommy Blogger/writer doesn't work out as a career, I'm feeling like you could be a hairstylist!
We love us some Fancy Nancy here in the HughesZoo. If Lydia decides that she does, in fact, like the Fancy Nancy, you can buy *easy* paperback readers at Walmart for pretty cheap-- fun way to practice reading!
I'm gonna have to get a copy of that particular FN book-- what is the story title? Maybe we'll recreate your Fancy Nancy Date. :)
Thanks for the fun idea!
counted the number of letters in each one's name? You just might be a closeted homeschool mom LOL! I love that you had your own fancy updo too, niiiice. :)
