Friday afternoon, I met my sister in Camden for the swap<\/em>.\u00a0 The girls went with Kacy and William to the circus and spent the night in Columbia, so Mel and I were able to have date night again this weekend!\u00a0 We went to the usual, Bow Thai, on Friday evening and enjoyed going to the Market downtown Saturday morning kid-free.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

As Mel was stopped by every other person to chat business, city or politics, I left him so I could enjoy the soup cook-off.\u00a0 I also bought my usual stock of cheeses from Ovis Hill Farms. Mel headed to work and I headed to get the girls.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

After lunch, I took McCanless and Mary Clare to a Coker basketball game, where Dizzy Petites made their Hartsville Hip Hop debut at half-time of the girls game.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

The girl loves to perform.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

This girl loves to change clothes.\u00a0 (…and costumes, and bathing suits, and her sister’s clothes, and pajamas and panties at least 10 times a day.\u00a0 At least.)<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

Later that afternoon, the girls wanted a snack, so we stuffed a few noodles through hot dogs…<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

See?<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

Well,<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

we stuffed them before<\/em> we cooked them. \u00a0 Obviously.\u00a0 A neat little trick I read about in a Family Fun magazine.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

Mary Clare decided it was her turn to have a performance with a live audience.\u00a0 She placed us, along with a few of her dolls, on the floor of my bedroom to watch her dance.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

Her new signature move.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

After another quick costume change…<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

…to match her princess doll, she was ready to move on and play mommy.<\/p>\n

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

…and McCanless cried again when she remembered how much longer she has until she can change her earrings.\u00a0 Which reminds me about her Groundhog Day experience…\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

She surprisingly jumped out of bed on Groundhog Day eager to watch the news, somthing she has never done.\u00a0 When she realized that none of the news channels would let her know the status of the official groundhog, so early I asked her why she was so concerned.\u00a0 She simply had to know if he would see his shadow, even before dawn.\u00a0 I told her Ms. Susie would let her know as soon as possible.\u00a0 As we drove to school, I had to explain that even if he left his home and Spring would supposedly come sooner, it could still be a while.\u00a0 It was all in fun, I explained. \u00a0 She immediately burst into sobs and screams.\u00a0 “I thought Spring would be today!\u00a0 Then I could change my earrings.\u00a0 I hate that Groundhog.”\u00a0 Apparently, I told her that she would be able to change her earrings when the weather began to warm up.\u00a0\u00a0 And apparently if the Groundhog brought us a sooner Spring, it would begin that day, or so she thought.

\"Saturday<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday night, Mel came running into the door from work at 7pm to jump in the shower for the Women’s League of Hartsville’s annual auction, in which he was the host and auctioneer.\u00a0 (It started at 7)\u00a0 I don’t worry about it any more.\u00a0 I just put on my cocktail dress and wait.\u00a0 I’ve learned.\u00a0 This year was his 6th.\u00a0 Nonnie came over to keep the girls and brought these fabulous pink and purple M&M’s with the girls’ faces on them!\u00a0 What a Valentine’s treat!\u00a0 We watched Cheetah Girls and ate popcorn and M&M’s with Nonnie until Daddy was ready to run back out of the door.\u00a0 We had a fun night and Mel, as usual, was great.<\/p>\n
