Spendover into Saturday

It's Monday.

Let's not focus on that and instead recap the weekend, shall we?

Friday, while Ms. OG was having a blast at Auntie C's (especially since A-wee and EG were home with her all day), I received a text message from Ms. A-wee:

"Are we ever going to have a birthday sleepover for me?"

It's tradition.  Every year we host a "Birthday Spendover Spectacular" for our nieces. It's usually the main part of their gift, but with A-wee getting older we didn't think she'd be interested. But she was! She still loves us! She's not too cool for her favorite aunt & uncle (yet)! After I cleaned my happy tears and melted heart off the floor I responded with a "HECK YES!"

"Ok well I'm totally free tonight"

Panic sets in.  Tonight?  It's Friday -  a weeknight. I hadn't cleaned AT ALL and normally we become elderly hermits mega hip 30somethings-with-a-toddler who consider it a successful night if we both make it to 9:30pm without passing out. Uhhh...

"Birthday Spendover is a GO! And we have a messy house, but you know..."

"Ok"

After picking up the tired Ms. OG and my niece from C's house, we headed home for a night of last-minute Birthday Spectacularness. A-wee offered to help me walk the dogs which allowed my amazing Husband to pick up a bit (the kid had to have to sleep somewhere, and while she'd probably think sleeping on a pile of clean laundry was cool, I just couldn't be THAT cool of an aunt). We got her favorite dinner, watched Labyrinth, dyed and decorated Easter eggs...but the top item on her to do list? Pick out OG's outfit for tomorrow.  (Swoon!) So we folded some ladybaby clothes and A-wee narrowed down her options. I must say, I don't believe OG has ever looked so preppy or adult! Good work, A-wee!

OG's A-wee curated outfit consisted of:

-Navy blue cardigan

-Rainbow-striped collared cap-sleeve shirt (Crazy 8)

-Dark denim jeggins

-Fuchsia faux-Wallabee boots

-A-wee's cell phone for the ultimate Valley Girl look 

Striking her best model pose - puckered lips, aloof stare into the distance...relaxed

See? This outfit can go from lounge wear to business casual to outdoor recreation. SO VERSATILE!

A big THANK YOU to my loving and wonderful niece, A-wee. I'm glad you had fun with us old fart fuddyduds (and OG). We had a great time and are already looking forward to next year! xoxo
