Social Butterfly

I swear, my kids have better social lives than I do!! Sad. I guess it's to be expected with teenagers, since that's what they do....socialize. But, it's pretty depressing when my 7 yr old has more going on than I do! This weekend was crazy for her.

For her Birthday, my sister in law bought her tickets to go see the Hannah Montana 3D Movie in Londonderry. They were supposed to go Friday night, but because of the ice storm we decided that it was best to not travel. I wasn't going, my sister in law was taking all of the girls . It was Hailey, my sister in law, and three teenage girls (my other daughter, my neice and their other friend who is also a HUGE Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers fan). They were all bummed, but excited that they just rescheduled to Sunday (yes, during the super bowl!). So, Hailey was upset but was still excited because on Saturday morning we were headed down to Manchester to go see Disney on Ice, Finding Nemo!!

So, early Saturday morning we leave for Manchester. Hailey was given it as a gift by my sister (gotta love family that gives my kids "events" rather than toys...like Hailey needs any more anyway!). It was me, hailey, my sister, her 5 yr old daughter, and my mother. A girls day out!!! The show was really great! I'm a kid at heart and I just LOVE Disney on Ice (or anything disney for that matter!). Hailey and I have seen Beauty and the Beast on ice and Disney Princesses on ice...both very good. This one was so much better though with all of the special effects they do. I wish I had taken some pictures. One word of caution though...if you go to an event like this you can pretty much expect to not hear much of the show due to the gazillions of kids in the audience talking during it. It was so annoying actually. I mean, kids will be kids, but it was the PARENTS that were talking loudly to their kids. Now I know why people choose to sit way up high in the stadium! So there is noone around them. Regardless, it was a good show anyway. AS part of the gift, we went out to lunch afterwards to Applebees. Hailey ate so much food, I thought she was going to burst!

So back home we go, to go to bed for the next days adventure. On sunday, we wake up early again and I bring her over to my sister in laws. The show wasn't until the evening but they had plans to go shopping at the mall first and get something to eat. I spent my morning grocery shopping after I dropped the girls off. Note to self....DON'T attempt to go grocery shopping on Superbowl Sunday EVER again!!!

The girls got home around 9 pm (an hour after Hailey's bedtime) and Hailey walks in EXHAUSTED! Poor kid. She looked miserable, but she had an amazing time! She had birthday money so of course she comes home with a bunch of Hannah Montana stuff. Basically, she's obsessed! She's got HM shoes now and a pretty cool HM hairpiece wig thing that of course she had to wear to school today.

Whew, I sure an glad that this weekend is over!
