Share a little love

When you have a husband who has a job with weird shift hours and also owns a business which is a full-time job in and of itself AND you have three kids it's not often that you get a chance to spend time one-on-one with each child.  I get lots of time alone with Lauren while the kids are at school but one-on-one with each of the big kids is kind of rare.  Important and rare. 

This morning Drew had a doctor's appointment.  Chris and Lauren were off to run errands, William was at school, and Drew and I went to the doctors.  We came out and it dawned on me that this was a great opportunity to spend some alone big-girl time together.  We headed to get some new shoes, rode up and down the escalator, went to the MAC counter and put on ridiculous lipstick, smelled candles, shopped for a pretty little skirt for Drew's school performance/graduation next week, and went to lunch.  It was lovely.  Important and lovely.

I haven't had Saltwaters in probably 30 years.  Am I too old for them?  I just hope I'm not going to walk around looking like the 50 year old woman in a mini skirt.  Ya know?  And aren't Drew's fuschia ones so cute?


Gap dressing room, trying on things for kindergarten graduation.  I have a feeling that the next graduation dress we shop for she may not want her old mom in the dressing room with her.  Taking advantage to the max.
