Today Ellie and I had the day off together. Her school and daycare were both closed for Teacher Education Days. We rose early and got our groceries done. After a bit of breakfast at home we were back out for a bit of shopping. Macy's was our prime target today.
There were lots of clearance racks, and we found ourselves in the dressing rooms more than once!
She's grown to appreciate shopping, especially when it involves her picking something out for herself. She continues to remind me that, "Mommy, I have different taste than you!" Which usually begins the conversation as she's holding up something with sequins, sparkles, animal print or feathers! She's a character when it comes to fashion.
Today we found a couple of treasures AND the dress she will wear to the Daddy & Daughter Dance later this month! She's been itching to get something, but nothing was quite right. Today was the day we found a dress we both liked.
And you'll see from the photo above that you're going to have to wait until the dance to see it. Today's photo is all about our weather. We had fun getting out and getting things done when the sun was shining and the temperature was warm.
We finished out shopping trip with lunch at Houlihan's - were we split two appetizers: Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Spicy Shrimp over Cilantro Slaw. She turned down a chance to look at the kids' menu - wanting to order with me. And it worked out just fine!
A good day was had by all!
