It's the girls' night out, na na night out..... I've been known to randomly break in to 1980's songs. Aren't they great? My kids don't seem to appreciate them the way I do. I know the look exchanged between my older two girls. It is the same look my sister and I would give each other regarding our mom. My girls don't understand that I am a cool mom.They should feel privileged to have me. :) (I can see their eyes roll as they read this.)
They may not think I am the raddest mom but I sure think they are pretty special. I don't often get to spend one on one time with any of my kids. I'm determined to see that we do. Friday was mother/daughter night with D.
Things I love about this picture:
- Dakota looks so beautiful and grown up. (Perhaps I don't like that she looks so grown up....)
- She is wearing my high school cheerleading jacket. Maybe she thinks I'm cool, after all. Or at least my old clothes are.
- Her cowboy boot necklace shows a little window to her heart. My necklace was a gift from my sweet sister.
- My earrings were made by Emmaly just for me. She picked red because it is my favorite color. What an observant, giving girl.
- The background shows Austin's Chevy Luv .....the cutest truck ever!
- You can take a little peek at the play yard....swingset and trampoline.
- I would say that I like my flannel shirt and hat but I was informed by my ever-stylish girls that I looked like a lumberjack. They meant it in a "good way". Of course. Most lumberjacks try for the classy look.
D and I both love a good book. She averages a novel or two a week. I love reading the same story and then having our own book club discussions afterward. (B joins our club once in a while.) I have been wanting to read The Help. When I heard it was coming out in theatres I decided to wait and watch the movie before I read the book.
It was a wonderful movie and I had fun company. D was the youngest one in the theatre. (Unless you count the two kids that were probably there because of a lack of a sitter.) We're looking forward to reading the book now. After the movie we went for a hot drink.
D is for sure going to be a coffee drinker. I say "going to be" but she would love to be now. I let her indulge once in a while. Maybe I would give in more if I understood the coffee-hype. I'm a hot chocolate girl. I'm also really dumb when it comes to flavors and ordering at a coffee shop. I asked the barista what was good and she gave me an odd look. She answered with a "Well, what do you like?" I felt even more ignorant. If I knew what I liked I wouldn't have asked. D ordered a chocolate mocha. I ordered a pumpkin-something-or-other in honor of the first day of fall. Then 30 seconds later I couldn't get the taste of chocolate out of my head so I scratched my order and asked for the same thing D had. (I am the MOST indecisive food customer! Something that drives my husband CraZy.) Still wanting to honor autumn's appearance we bought a big slice of pumpkin cake.
She looks like a Simpson in this shot; being yellow and all. I hope you had as much fun as I did, Kodi! It was refreshing to be able to spend time with you! You are a breath of fresh air! I'm looking forward to next time! ....It's the girls' night to play...all night to play....so don't wait up for me...na na na na na na... :-)

Looks liked a fun time, I had no idea red was your favorite color, I thought it was green. Glad I learn this stuff from your blogs, ha ha.
Um, I can't stand ordering stuff at the coffee shop...I feel like a ding dong :) And what a fun night out. I loved The Help! So good.
Lucky girls...you for a daughter like D...D for a mom like you...BTW...I was a cool mom too...lol.
Mom
I saw the first picture and immediately thought, hey, I have a jacket like that! I must be cool! Then saw that it was your jacket also from cheerleading, so it is exactly the same jacket! By the way, I still have mine as well, it is hanging in my closet. I have threatened to wear it a couple of times, but haven't as of yet.
