girls day

Praise the Lord for girlfriends.

Seriously.

Not that I get sad, I'm really a good loner (one of the perks of marrying later in life..being ridiculously independent.)

However, let's be honest, Sacramento isn't LA. Plus, I have a 2 year old that misses her #1 guy so much.

I put Reese in the bed with me last night and she never sleeps with us but I felt safer having us all camped out in one spot. Fun, right? Reese is so good about bedtime and sleeping by herself that she is not a good bed snuggler. We read books, I sang, rubbed her back....the chick was still wide awake. Usually, we sit in our room and listen to her sing and talk for an hour or so before she falls out. Cute & funny when you aren't trying to actually sleep next to her.

Finally, at midnight, she said, "Mommy, I think I should just go sleep in Reesie's bed."

What do I say?

What kids wants to not sleep with mama?

I talked her into staying and she fell out and slept til 10am.

We ran errands and then met Lisa & MacKenzie at Chick-fil-A to have lunch and play.

After that we headed to the mall to play in pottery barn kids and after that the girls both fell out in their strollers so we had some retail therapy. We had the best time. I just love Lisa. God put us here together. We have so much in common and our hubbies like each other (an added bonus that doesn't always happen), so I LOVE hanging out with her. The girls woke up and we headed to dinner at CPK, then we headed home. Awesome day with the girls.

Here's some silly video of Reese last week. She wouldn't sing and she had just woke up from a nap so she was quiet. (Of course, she has watched this video over and over again and sings through it and laughs hysterically) but papa & gigi love their video...

And some video of the chicks tonight at cpk. Reese loves her and is a little smothering but they totally crack each other up. Hilarious...oh and it's sideways and I'm too lazy to try to fix it...maybe lay on your side while viewing? Just a thought...

Reese just told me she thinks it's a good idea if we sleep together again tonight...wish us luck!
