Sisters Weekend

Jenny and Makayla came for a few days to stay with the Elliott's and meet Mr. Caleb.
Their visit was cut short due to Josh's grandpa funeral in Houston, so they got to come and stay with me for a few days.

I took the day off from work on Friday, August 21st.
I drove up to Little Elm and picked them up from the Elliotts. We drove back through The Colony and stopped by a LARGE garage sale at the medical building. All proceeds doing to The American Cancer Society. I purchased an item for $1.00. We drove home and made a plan for the rest of the day.
Lunch at Cheddars. http://www.cheddars.com/  A new restaurant opened in The Colony with Scratch Kitchen - Hand Made Food - Exceptional Value. It is located right next to the Nebraska Furniture Mart.

After lunch we shopped briefly at Sam Moon http://sammoon.com/index.php  Sam Moon specializes in purses, jewelyry, luggage and accessory items. After shopping we went to Stonebriar Mall to see the movie "Inside Out". This is a PIXAR movie where five personified emotions—Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling)—try to lead her through life as she moves with her parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) to a new city. It got great reviews from all three of us.  Now I know why certain songs keep getting stuck in my head!

After the movie we went back to the house for a little swimming before dinner.

Jackie & Jonathan came over for dinner and we enjoyed some enchiladas

The rest of the evening was spent taste-testing.
We purchased the new Lays potato chips 

and the new Oreo flavors (Peanut Butter/Brownie Batter / Smores)
I couldn't find the Cotton Candy or the Rootbeer cookies.
Reviews were mixed.

Saturday morning, Jackie came over and picked up Jen and MK to take them to the Nebraska Furniture Mart. We had lunch and a little more time in the pool before I took them to the airport for their flight back home to Minnesota.

It was a fun filled weekend!
