This morning, Micah and I decided that we would split up boys vs. girls, and conquer the day. And to add extra spice, we were going to compete on who had the best day. The kids were totally excited, and we went into our corners to plan. Naturally, the girls and I chose a day of pampering…nail salon, make-up counters, and some sort of delicious fine dining.
We were all set, until Navy overheard the boy’s planning session — bike riding and camping, and then everything unraveled. The girls wanted to go with the boys. For some hormonal reason, my feelings were hurt. The boys refused allowing the girls. For an hour, I just wanted to take off by myself.
In the end, the girl’s threw me a bone, and let me take them…so I tried to really up my game, to get the boys vs. girls WIN!
We started in beauty baths, that turned into artistic baths.
Then they got gussied up in my parlor, for an afternoon at Downtown Disney!
Sephora was a hit, where my girls went wild for all of the samples.
Then Jamba Juice was a nice and light beverage, while we walked around.
A major hit was watching the chocolate factory make all of their Disney themed caramel apple.
And my final attempt at making our day the best, was a bear at Build-A-Bear!!!
Pippi created “Zazzy”, and she was utterly in love — especially for my love note I put in the hand, that she played about a thousand times before getting home.
On our way home, the girls were starving, so we stopped at Navy’s pick — Ichibirri!
if you ask me, the boys couldn’t have possibly won.
NO WAY!
We called to brag, and they explained that they were just settling in their tent. When I caught eyes with Navy, I could tell that she wanted to be in that tent so badly. So I drove the 20 minutes to the campsite. The boys insisted they won with their biking and camping adventure. I was trying to sway the girls into thinking we won. After disagreeing, we were all closing our eyes to fall asleep, but one last check of the weather, so I could know what sort of covers I wanted on me showed rain at 2 am!!!
I showed Micah, then grabbed the little kids, and got the heck out of dodge! He came home a bit later with everything packed up, and told me that I had ruined the boys day.
YEAH RIGHT!
More like, I SAVED IT!
So in the end, the boys are convinced their day was better. But I told them that we ultimately won, because their day was only “better” because the girls saved it!
So congrats to me and the girls.
