Dates with my kids

On Friday a sweet friend took Grace and I to Starbucks to celebrate my birthday!  Grace was excellent and we were gone most of the day.  First we sat at Starbucks for about an hour and a half and then we made a last minute decision to go shopping at Michaels for Mrs. Green for her birthday!  We walked around aimlessly for quite a while and then all of a sudden an idea popped in my head and it turned out to be a good idea.....I think.  We'll see how it turns out on Monday and then I'll decide if it was a good idea!  I'll post a picture after we finish it! 

Two things helped Grace get through our time in Starbucks: the ladybug she found while walking Andrew to the playground and her Leapster Explorer.  Yes, she had a ladybug in the truck and the entire time at Starbucks and as we were leaving she said it had died.  Not sure but she got rid of it anyway.  I can't believe it lasted as long as it did!

Today I got to have a Starbucks date with Andrew and then we went to Walmart.  It was nice to spend time with each of them individually.  When we got home, I looked through the mail and had a coupon for a free drink at starbucks!  Lucky me, I get to go back this week!  I'll probably go on Wednesday while both kids are in school and do my homework for this week.  I did that last week and it was nice to get stuff done without looking around at everything that needs done at home. 

I hope all of you moms have a wonderful Mother's Day.  Relax and enjoy the day.  I will be at church working tomorrow and enjoying the afternoon of no school with my babies!
