Can I just say that I love hanging out with my grandkids?? Eve had her Grandma's Birthday Sleepover last night - it was the first clear spot on both of our calendars. Having it on a school night presented some challenges, but we figured it out!
You can tell we had a great time because we didn't have a lot of time to think about taking pictures! So I will give you a rundown in words!!
We started with an afterschool snack at Yogurtland - yum!! Then went next door for manicures at Urbane. The guy there at the front desk gave me a discount - he said, "I always see you in here with your granddaughters - I'll give you 10% off!" I think he's earned my loyalty for life!!
We headed off for Kohls - especially to use my $10 off coupon!! Eve found a cute outfit she liked - and a skirt on the bargain rack.
So we headed over to Marshalls to see if we could find a bargain top to go with the bargain skirt - it was certainly fun to line up all the possibilities and discuss the virtues of each one!! Eve is such a little fashionista - it's great fun to shop with her.
We topped off the evening out with dinner at Mimi's - Harry was doing a long run and Noah had a golf date, so we made it a girls night out!! And I was a good girl and had the "Fit and Healthy" option - and no dessert!
Since it was a school night, Eve had homework - I helped her with her math homework - exponents - and I still know how to do them!! She needed to read for 30 minutes, so we set the timer and both read - she is working on Play the Bach Dear and she suggested I read a book about mermaids that she especially enjoyed. I read 3 of the stories and then my heavy eyelids drooped and the book flopped out of my hands and Eve said, "Are you falling asleep Grandma?"
Fortunately Grandpa came home from his run - after a quick shower he was ready for his "Grandpa Bob" duties. We set up the futon and Grandpa Bob worked his magic.
In the a.m., Eve enjoyed whole wheat waffles with chocolate milk!! She had picture day and requested french braids - I should have taken a close-up!! I had to get to school on time - in the past I've had a free first period, and I hadn't considered that - so Grandpa did the morning run. He enjoys re-living the days of getting kids to school!
So, can I just say again that it's great to spend time with such a lovely young lady!!?? (And that I wish all our grandkids lived close enough for a birthday sleepover!)
