It's a girl date!

Will has taken the boys on the Father-Son Camp-out.  Lorien is having a sleep over at a friend's house and Clare is at a friend's house for dinner.  So, tonigh it is just me and Adell.  We used to have loads of one-on-one time, before Colter came along.  We decided to make a proper girl's night of it.  We went shopping, out to eat at a restaurant, painted our finger nails and had a sleep over in my room.  It was fun to be with just Adell again.  I have grand plans of having more one-on-one dates with all of my children but plans do not materialize frequently enough.  However, I pulled this one off.

Thanks for an awesome girl date Adell!






*It's a girl date!* When Clare was the only child at home she would say this to me every. single. day.  It started when Wyatt was in preschool.  We'd drop Lorien off at Elementary school and then drop Wyatt off at preschool.  As soon as just Clare and I got into the car she would say "Momma, close your eyes."  (Admittedly, I never closed my eyes...I was driving a car...) and then she would shout "It's a girl date!" like this was a huge surprise.  She never failed to remember.  It was a girl date, just Momma and Clare--two girls.  When Adell was born, Clare did not have to change her cheer.  Once Adell was old enough to pick up on it, she too started telling me to close my eyes and announced we were on a girl date.  Adell, sadly, had to discontinue the practice once Colter was born.  Now we have a boy with us all the time!
