sans

Today I got to go shopping with my girlfriends, Christy and Jenny. We went to Hobby Lobby, where we drooled, for a couple of hours (at least), over future projects that we wish to replicate off of our Pinterest list. I changed my mind on what I had planned to make as my exchange gift, for the Pinterest party. I'm super stoked. I wonder if I can rig it and gift it to myself instead? Hmmm? Kidding, I bought extra supplies, 'cause I'm going to make one for myself.  I'm in love with it that much!! Afterwards, we had a long, relaxing lunch at Olive Garden. Then we made a mad dash to Target, where OMG, the little girls dresses and headbands with pretty flowers and the tinsel stockings. Chris seriously needs to add another job to his resume. Like now. Matching dresses for my girls? I want. We made one last stop at Joann's, did you know they match Michael's coupons? They do and thanks to Christy, I got 40% off of my purchase. Oh! And did I mention that we did all this shopping and chatting and laughing and eating and planning SANS kids and husbands? It was the best. While we waited what seemed like an eternity for our frickin' table at O.G., we heard a baby (around Evie's age), fussing and crying, Christy and I just looked at each other and just cracked up. 'Cause it wasn't mine. 'Cause mine were over at Grandma's house, being spoiled. Win.for.me. It was just a lovely day.
After we said goodbye, I headed back to Grandma's house and smooched up my babies. They hadn't missed me. Not even the littlest one. Good? Yes. And no. Know what I mean?
Then we took Ellie and Pooh to this dinosaur thing here in Wausau. I don't think I've mentioned it but Pooh is really into dinosaurs. So much, we have to play "dinosquad" with his little dinosaur action figures EVERY day. I'm dino'd out. But he loves it, he mentioned, yesterday, that when he grows up: "I wanna be a  dinobonerfinder, that's what I wanna be". He was in Heaven, I'll post pics tomorrow, not sure how to post from my phone since we're not home. We're staying in Wausau tonight, since we will be celebrating our niece's birthday tomorrow. She's going to be....15? 15! 15...no wonder Auntie's been hoarding Evie the whole night.  But who wouldn't want to? She's just scrumptious. And she'll soon be 8 months. 8 months. My, how the time has just flown by. Although, I did enjoy my day sans kids, I am so glad to get back to them and hear their little voices...until I can't and I need another shopping trip. Oh! And Ellie came up with a great idea! She mentioned (because she's aware of our Pinterest party) why can't she have one with her friends. I jokingly, mentioned it to the girls and we got to talking, perhaps it would be fun to have one with the kids one afternoon, work on a Father's Day craft or Easter or something...I think it sounds like a funtastic idea!
