Mommie Dates..

 We really like grocery shopping day around here... We get all our shopping done and then go to the bakery area and the girls pick out a donut (usually to share). They almost always pick out chocolate with sprinkles. Our favorite grocery stores has a big cafe area with a loft for seating...We go up and sit together and eat our donuts and visit.

These little trips are our "mommie dates"...It's so nice to do some thing "special" in the middle of the week. We spend a dollar or two and sit in a resteraunty sort of place. It is so cute to watch the girls sit silently, intently devouring their very "special treat" (while simutaniously covering themselves in fudge icing). And then after donuts, if it's a nice day, we head to the park to wear out some of that sugar-induced energy. It is probably one of my favorite days of the week, it's just so nice to sit with them...It doesn't last long, it usually only takes them about  10 minutes to eat up that snack and then we're off to the next thing.
