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.
Looks like you gals had a great night in!
OH my the girls feet and then the one with the towels. Absolutely adorable. Glad you missed the game, looks like memories were made at home with Mommy!
From the looks of it, your night worked out just perfectly! 🙂
LOVE the feet photo & Isabelle's sweet face in the tub!
That looks like the most wonderful night ever! I can not wait until my girls are older and we can have a night like that 🙂 my favorite shot was the ones with the feet out of the bathtub 🙂
Ok, the photo of all their sweet little feet hanging over the bathtub actually made me cry. Beautiful!
Oh my word, the pictures of the feet and the trio in their towels were just too precious!
I know I don't have to tell you this, but you are such a blessed mama!
Oh, Vivi's little tootsie's are so cute!!!
Oh boy…such fun times!!! I must admit, the ice cream made me more than a bit jealous! 🙂
What a fun night! I can't get enough of the feet in the tub photo. My girls and I do a version of this every chance we get. Love it!
Oh my word, how sweet are those girls of yours?! I love Vivi's expression in the poodle towel photo, and they all look so cute in the bubbles. Looks like a great girls night in!

Way to take advantage of those neat moments- girl time together. And what great memories you're making, you're such a fun mom!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the "stinkin" feet.
How much sweetness can a person stand?! 🙂 So cute. Love the toes sticking up over the tub.
It looks like my kinda evening! Love the fact that you pulled out the fancy glasses for the girls – I bet they were thrilled!
Those 3 girls are absolutely the cutest EVER. With a 4th to be coming home soon. Such a fun evening…better than a football game in my opinion.
Absolutely LOVED the foot pic! That one deserves a frame! Or an entry into a contest or ……something.
Oh that foto of the clean footies is over the top cute!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,

Precious, and add me to the list of those that think that foot picture is absolutely adorable!
All of them are cute but the one with the little foot, definitely the best one for me!!! Love it!!!
Love with bath photo with the feet!
I can almost hear Vivi saying, "What am I wearing?"
No it doesn't get much cuter than this!!! Well of course adding Pip in to the pack is just going to be rediculous!!! Should be against the law to have that much cuteness in one house! Just sayin 🙂
Sounds like a lovely mix up! Love Vivi's little feet. Size wise, they look just like Lizzie's!
I LOVE the photo of those little piggies (toes)! Can Vivienne's be ANY cuter? God obviously has such a tender side to create something SO cute as little tiny toes! Glad you had a great Girls Night IN!
so fun!! what a gorgeous bunch of girls you have!
Can't stop grinning after reading this! What a beautiful bunch of girls…and what a FUN mommy they have!
You all always have so much fun together! What a perfect evening!
Totally, incredibly adorable! Sometimes the best times are the most unplanned ones, right?
All the best,
Nicole A. in LA (not OH any more!)
What a great SS – love the tooties pic in particular – must.not.tickle…..
hugs – aus and co.
Oh that sounds like such a delightful night in!!!!
The foot picture? So stinkin' CUTE! The towel picture is pretty adorable too.
Love the foot picture…so cute!! And how fun that you stayed home and made some wonderful memories together. 🙂
I think GNI's like that, beat GNO's anyday!! 😉 LOVED all the photos …but ESPECIALLY the one of the girls' piggies!! Vivi has the sweetest little feet. TOO CUTE!
Your girls will grow up TREASURING these times with mama. I can just here those family gatherings 20 years down the line and the girls saying "remember our special girl's nights-in with mama…?!" GOOD TIMES!! 🙂
Blessings and Hugs,
~Tanya
