A Little Visit…

This post contains affiliate links.

Last week my BIL went on a trip for business and my sister and niece came to stay with me for a few days!! I was super pumped because I am trying to spend as much time with everyone as I can before school starts in a few weeks!! They came down Wednesday and left Friday night and we had so. much. fun.

I sent my sister this pic Tuesday as my “I can’t wait to see y’all” face and she sent this one back of Paycen. Pretty sure my heart melted on the spot. Someone was excited to go see Aunt “Ritti”! LOL!

Wednesday we met at Magic Springs so Paycen could play in the “waddy”. Girl loves her some water that’s for sure! I didn’t get any pics because we were just too busy but I can say that Miss P thoroughly enjoyed herself! She went down all the little kid slides by herself (with help from me and her mama to give her a push and catch her at the bottom) and kicked her little feet like she was swimming!! We sat in the wave pool and let her feel the waves come up and she squealed every time!! Sweet thing slept the whole way back to my house!!

When we got home we ate some pizza and changed clothes and headed to Target! I had a BOGO coupon at the Starbucks inside Target and we got frappuccinos…YUM!! Don’t worry, P got an apple juice, no frappucchino for her!

The next morning we got up early and made donut holes with that new mix by Pillsbury. They are Funfetti Donut Holes and were delicious!! P put the sprinkles on and then decided she was messy so she needed to wash her hands. Which turned into her sitting in the sink and playing in the waddy. I told you she loves the waddy right?? LOL!!

After playing in the waddy we got cleaned up and went shopping!! While we were out shopping someone needed a snack so she got some White Cheddar popcorn to munch on in the store. She’s a girl after my own heart I tell you…

 We went to lunch at a place in Little Rock called All Aboard. It’s train themed and a train runs around the top of the place and actually delivers your food to the table!! How cool is that? We also went to the Purple Cow for milkshakes before heading home!! Someone LOVED her first Purple Cow Purple Vanilla shake!! I got the Carmel shake with Reeses Cup added to it. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD. OMG.

On the way home that day Miss P decided she needed some more popcorn and I heard an “uh oh” from the back seat and my sister proceeded to take this picture and laugh. Yes, the is the rest of her bag of popcorn spilled all over her and all over my new car!!! AHHHHH!!!

That night I made my famous Chicken Spaghetti and P LOVED it!!!Wish I had gotten pics of that :)

The next day we got up early and went to the Little Rock zoo!! P loved the zoo!! She told every animal “bye bye” when we left it and was pretty dang good!! She even rode a lion…

…and helped Aunt “Ritti” push her stroller!

After the zoo we went to Sam’s where Paycen found some headphones and jammed out!! She sang along to the demo and boogied in the buggy to her little heart’s content. Everyone was laughing at her…LOL!

She was too cute!!! After Sam’s we went back to my house where sweet P got a bath and then they loaded up and went home. I was sad to see them go but Sophie was happy to get her house back…LOL!! I think that dog slept ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday!! She and P played HARD.

I had a wonderful time with them and I can’t wait ti see them again!!!

    What a cutie!!!! I just got a new car and am crazy OCD about keeping it clean, so I would have had to really keep my ish together with popcorn everywhere, but what a totally cute picture!!! So glad you had a great time with them! Nieces are the best!!
