After the kids had helped with that garden for the summer, I told them we could go to the store and get something special for them. The girls picked out fake finger nails. This was our first experience with fake nails and luckily my sister LeAnn called in the middle of trying to put them on. LeAnn is the professional and gave some really great tips. I would never have thought to just cut them to the size and shape of each nail. I would have been content to have them oversized and popping off every now and then. I trimmed down each nail, especially for KayDee and we ended up super gluing them on. I was skeptical if the girls would even want them on for a long time but they really liked them and kept them on for days until the glue slowly wore off and a few started popping off. We had to take them off after a week since we were going swimming. I didn't think the pool would want random fingernails floating around. I was very pleased at how well the fake finger nails turned out.
Derrick had played with an army set at Rachel and Justin's and had been waiting for an opportunity to get a set of his own. He jumped at this opportunity and we set out to find an army set he had in mind. We looked at the dollar store and Family Dollar and I really was surprised they didn't have sets. We went to Walmart and there was a $3 set but didn't have a tank. We had to make due with what we could find. Luckily his dad saved the day and had a tank for him from his old toys.
