Girls Night In

On Thursday night we had a Girls Night! Where were the boys? Out camping with their Father, but that's the subject of a different post...

I thought it best to not send Matt out alone with THREE small children, so we settled on two as the magic number! Brothers it was. Viva had an afternoon and partial evening with Grandma Karen, and then we stayed up late with Grandma.

We asked Viva what she wanted to do when she arrived home at 9:15 and she said "lets make cake and have a party"! I told her maybe no on the cake, but she settled for grapefruit (which we had purchased just for her!) and some red vines (which we also purchased for her!). She was a happy camper.

She requested popcorn, she got it. She wanted a show, she got it! We watched the season premiere of the reality dance show we like (So You Think You Can Dance). Viva was tough. We didn't get done until after midnight and she, her milk, her popcorn, and chocolate chips hung in there like a champ! She was looking a little bleery eyed by the end but it was all good.

We headed off to Mommy's bed together, and slept in. Viva until almost noon. It was a fun evening! Did I miss the hard ground, smokey campfire, and mosquitoes? Hmmm... tough call. :-) (I am WORKING on becoming an outdoorsy person, but I am still a work in progress...).
