It's amazing what a beautiful morning can do to lift your spirits, isn't it? The sun is shinning, the air is crisp, but not too cold. I don’t think it could get any better. This is what we call the perfect day in Georgia. It fills me with energy and a happiness that knows no bounds.
My oldest spent the night at a friend’s house. That same friend spent all day Friday and spent the night over here (schools were closed because of Veterans Day). They always have such a good time together.
Yesterday my youngest and I went to see Chicken Little. We really loved it. It seems that the animators just keep getting better and better. It was a cute story, and one that even had a moral. Good stuff. Then, we went shopping.
Both of my kids grew approximately 2 inches (and then some) about 2 weeks after I bought their school cloths. They are badly in need of pants, as well as shirts. They grow way too fast for my peace of mind. It's interesting, going shopping alone with a seven year old. We took our time, and tried on many different things. She's in between two sizes so it makes it hard to fit her properly. She didn't whine once about trying things on, which has to be a first.
Then we travelled around the entire store, looking at everything, including the Christmas decorations. I saw some really cute things I just may go back and get today. We went and looked a the makeup, and a really wonderful sales lady actually put some eye shadow and such on my daughter and then raved at how absolutely beautiful she was. She then promptly handed her a couple of samples to use for dress up. You could tell that Meelie No felt so important. This lady went out of her way to make her feel so very special. It's sad, but that doesn't happen very much these days.
Last night, Mr. Moogie took us out to a wonderful Italian restaurant to eat. Meelie No has a passion for spaghetti. We had a great time and even treated her to a piece of chocolate cake for dessert.
It's been a great weekend so far. Tonight we are headed over for a bbq at my neighbor's house. I'm bringing some kind of potato dish. I haven't decided which one yet, but it should be fun.
What about you? What did you do this weekend?

I am glad you are having such a wonderful weekend. You deserve it. We liked Chicken Little, too.

This weekend I also shopped with my mother since I was home. I visited my baby cousin, ate lots of home food, and kicked back and relaxed but couldn't do too much of it since there are always things to do when I'm home.
Glad to hear you had a great weekend! A potato dish of any kind sounds good to me!

Yeah I know what it's like to try and shop with a 7 yr old in tow... It's not easy, she deserves a medal :), mind you loved the lady at the make-up counter just a little gesture on her part but it made millie no's day I'll bet (even if she don't wanna admit it)
*Hugs to Mellie No, yourself of course, oh and Moogie J as well*
