Trip to the Pagoda...

I remember when my girls would ask for a trip to the park, or maybe to order pizza as a reward for their hard work in school. It seems those days are no more... They brought home their first report cards from their new school at the end of the school year with awesome grades yet again. I am so proud of them. They work so very hard and it definitely shows!!

As I was beaming over their wonderful marks, I commented that they definitely deserve a reward for their hard work. (Not that I don't expect them to get decent grades, mind you, but they all excel and I believe hard work and accomplishment deserves praise!!)

So, what, you are wondering, did they beg for as a reward? PIERCING. No, no, not THOSE kinds of piercings. Thank goodness we aren't into tongues/eyebrows/noses/tongues and such yet... lol.  So, off to the Piercing Pagoda we went...

Libby the Brave went first. She told me she was going to be brave after she wanted her ears pierced for her 6th birthday and then backed out at the last minute! She totally proved her words to be true, though, and she stepped right up to be first in line!!

She picked these adorable little crosses for her first earrings!! <3

Maddie and McKaelyn already have their ears pierced once, so they asked for a second piercing, and being the awesome cool mom I am I said yes. ;) Well, I have 2, so how could I say no? lol

Maddie went next!!

Purple titanium for her!

McKaelyn went last, and boy did she look nervous!

Silver stainless for Miss Mac!

The girls are so happy with their pretty new earrings, and are being so responsible in helping to clean and turn them daily :) I am glad to have a reason to give them such a treat, and I hope they continue to be encouraged to work hard and never settle for less than their best!!

They also reminded me that their midterm treat never happened because of the move and my hugely pregnant state. Oh my!
