we had to go check out the library....

my little bookworm loved the two-story library!the girls were so precious....they told us they were going to hold hands forever & never let go....cute!! but gonna be a long stretch across that hall :)

after the school stuff was done we took the girls for pizza ~ yum-o! the girls were able to make their own pizza....so much fun!

after baths were done, teeth brushed & bags packed we settled in for a story.....the night before kindergarten....audrey wanted her nails painted today to match her outfit for tomorrow.....pink with yellow polka dots....a "mommy mani/pedi" :)
