Mommy and Me Day!

Okay, maybe the mommy and me day was even more for me than for Peyton, but she and I had a great time. It was past due, allowing her some one-on-one time, not having to share with her brother. She deserved it and I think she had a blast. In true girl fashion, we went shopping! The days events included:

*a donut breakfast (her favorites)

*a trip to Ridgedale Mall to make her build-a-bear. She also decided, randomly this morning, that she needed some socks with stripes. So we figured we'd keep an eye out!

*her first stop was Claires (she saw it when we walked in and HAD to check it out) because she thought they'd have socks. She chose some butterfly hair clips, new ponytail holders and a pkg of bracelets.

*then we wandered the mall, taking the glass elevator, the escalators, making some wishes at the fountain.

* we went to Build-A-Bear for our first time! She chose a Hello Kitty doll and striped ensemble!

*headed into Gap to find some socks-5 for $10 :)

*then we wandered the mall again....taking the escalator another 3 times or so.

*then she wanted a snack, she had some candy for a quarter!

*We went to lunch. She wanted a hamburger so we hit Culvers for that and ice cream!

*She also wanted to grocery shop-one of her favorite activities-so we stopped for a few essentials.

*Lastly, she asked a couple times to get her hair cut. I called the salon and we were able to get in at 3:45! Perfect timing for one last "girly" thing before picking her brother up from daycare. Rachel always spoils her, brushes it a lot, washes it in the big sink, cuts and drys it. I thought she was going to fall asleep in the chair after all that primping!

Here are a couple pictures of our day, including tonight when she decided to put on her striped socks, hold Holly the Hello Kitty and wear her pj's that matched! It was a nice day and she was exhausted by the time dad got home and read her a bedtime story tonight!
