I heart

Every Thursday night for the past few weeks, our little town has hosted some live music on the square. The only problem is the heat! It doesn't start until 7:00pm though, so it could've been worse.

Last night was Cody Dickinson from the North Mississippi Allstars. Love these guys! Blues-infused rock and roll with a side of jam! Too bad the whole band wasn't there last night, but it was still fun. Bubby was shaking his little bottom!


Then we met up with the kid's cousins E (girl) and C (boy). I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but Kiki adores E! They are only 8 months apart and are best friends. They will be in the same grade in school and they do gymnastics together. It's so cute watching them hold hands running all around the gym! C is only 7 months younger than Kiki, but he doesn't participate in the silly girl activities. He's way too busy being a cowboy!



Um, seriously, the eyes on these two! We're going to be fighting the boys off with sticks!


We all finally scrounged up enough money to do "a little" face painting. Yeah, a little. These ladies weren't playing around! If you want to be a tiger, you'll be a tiger, alright!


E wanted to be a pink butterfly


And Kiki chose the blue bird.


She was so disappointed when we had to wash it off last night! She wanted all of the kids at school to see it this morning. So we told her we'd hire these ladies for her birthday party in August and let her take a picture of herself to school next week. Thankfully that stalled the tears for the night.


As the night got darker, so did my pictures. I finally gave up and after the umpteenth blurry one and bumping up my ISO way too high for sharp pictures. Guess I need to invest in a flash!



Did I mention smacking the boys with a bat in a few years.... ugh, did I just say a few? I mean MANY years? We're going to have to lock up this butterfly and blue bird (Kiki's doing her modeling pose again)!
