Girly Day Update

I let the girls sleep in, like I said yesterday. Did just the minimum paperwork that HAD to be done...

When they got up and had brekky, I gave them some options - let's go out and see a movie? Out for lunch at your place of choice? DVD's and pyjamas at home...?

They both jumped at the last option - they don't always agree so readily! - so it was settled.

After showers, we headed to the shops for the basics, some DVD's and "nice" food to bring back home.

We stopped past K-Mart on our way, as they needed new slippers. Came home with a pink, oversized fluffy pair for Cassie, and Maddie went for the animal print bootees. They also picked up a pair of boots each. My kids go through shoes at an alarming rate, so if they see a pair they like at K-Mart, I let them have it. I was very pedantic about having their shoes fitted correctly until they were about 10, I still insist on good quality school shoes and sneakers, but for casual stuff, anything goes.


Then off to the DVD shop - now these two have very different tastes in movies. I had stipulated it had to be something the THREE of us would enjoy...the choice was easy - - -



SHREK!!!!


We haven't watched Shrek for ages! We love the characters, the music, and the story lines are so clever, intertwined with our favourite fairy tales...


We got Shrek 1 and 2 and also a couple of other DVD's that they want to sit down and watch with Daddy - RV and Monty Python....I told you they have varied tastes...


So it was a lovely day - no guilt for being out of the "office", no regrets , just happy to be in the "moment" with my girls. It went by too quickly...


Today it's back to work with a vengeance - must get caught up before the Easter weekend.


If you're driving for a long distance - STAY SAFE !
