Mani and Pedi Night


We went to our appointment at Great-Aunt Susan's Spa for our Mani and Pedi Night. Its good to start instilling the mani and pedi gene in the girls while they are young. Great-Aunt Susan only got her first salon pedicure THIS YEAR - the first one in her entire life! Shocking! I will admit, though she is very good with the brush, so, maybe its understandable, but it did allow her to open her own little shop for the night. However, Bear was offended when told that the polish is not for boys. He whined and whined until he eventually conceded the point and Great-Aunt Susan gave him a fabulous poster making project to work on during our spa treatments - that is what I call a "full-service" spa!




***I try to teach good rules for the mani and pedi-s.



1. Always have someone else apply the polish - and if at all possible - pay someone to massage, polish and do lots of fancy stuff to your hands and feet.



2. Always be sure polish is dry before leaving spa area - if necessary, blow on the polish yourself and recruit help.



3. Always take a picture of just your enhanced limbs when polish is freshly finished - so you can remember what your nails looked like before they were ruined by some sort of happening...




4. Always get manis and pedis in groups - they are much more fun that way.

Great-Aunt Susan's spa sure is a fun place - she really is a "Great Aunt".

Did the aliens tell you about doing this with their mommy? Yes, but mommy is no pro! The girls get to practice on mommy's piggies while she practices on theirs. lol

Way fun! We have actually painted Jonas' nails before... he feels so left out of the girly stuff. I won't do finger nails on boys, just toe nails... it is kind of funny. I did not get my first pedicure until I was 32.... spoiled kids! ha ha ha
