I was supposed to be at a football game.
Not sure if it’s my fault or my husband’s fault, but I got the time mixed up and ended up being impossibly late.
So, we tried to make the best of the fact that me and my unshowered self would be staying in.
The boys wanted to go to the football game with Chris.
But the girls wanted to stay home with me.
And a ‘girls’ night’ was born.
Complete with fancy glasses.
And “sparkling” soda.
Which elicited lots and lots of smiles.
After dinner we shifted our focus to the honored guest at any good girls’ night.
Ice cream.
With more fancy glasses.
And sprinkles.
And more smiles.
Next up was a bath, with bubbles galore, in mommy’s tub.
A rare treat.
Definitely worth the extra effort, I’d say.
It was just the ticket to get everyone relaxed.
And feeling mellow.
And happy.
Favorite towels followed.
Vivi wasn’t so sure about the poodle towel, though.
Until her sisters followed suit with a kitty and a butterfly.
Goodness, are they sweet or what?
The spa treatment continued with a manicure.
The choice was red or silver…
and all my girls went with red.
I wonder what that says about them?
Other than the fact that they’re positively adorable.
Hope the boys had as much fun at the football game as we did… just hanging out at home.
Staying ‘in’ has it’s benefits.
