The Quintessential Ladies' Day

Hello and a happy Monday to you, dedicated reader(s)! If you are a parent, you may know the wonderful "oh crap!" feeling you get when your babysitter says: "Oh, by the way, I am unable to babysit on Thursday..."
It's the instant activation code for my brain Rolodex. Who can we call? Who is the back-up to our back-up's back-up?

Well, sometimes it works out and someone else is available to babysit...and sometimes it ends in a best-3-out-of-5 match of roshambo with your spouse. Or maybe just a simple game of "How many vacation days do you have left?" This happened to us on Thursday last week, but no rock-paper-scissors was required.  I wanted a lady day with my little snuggle nugget.

Side-note for my lovely OG: For the record (if when you read this silly blog in the future) - dada and I were "fighting" over who got to stay home and play with you, not over who had to use a vacation day. There's a big difference. <3

So, on Thursday, OG and momma had a day about town!

Like any lady with a day off, OG and I "slept in" until 7:45, then decided to relax and ease into our day with some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before getting ready and heading out for breakfast.  We had a big day ahead of us and the weather was perfect, so Ms. OG decided to wear:

-Her new "Up Up and Away" embroidered shirt with balloon applique (Kohl's - on sale!)
-Dark-wash jeggins
-Pink polka-dot MaryJanes with bows

Blurry, but you get the idea. :)
Also, cameo appearances made by: Lucy's Butt (as always), Creeper Franklin, Rocking Pony and OG's Little Keyboard! 

OG deep in thought: Is this a band for momma's hair or my bracelet?

Then, off to breakfast to meet Ms. J!  We met at our favorite local breakfast joint, but before Ms. J arrived, a pack of elderly gentlemen (80's-90's, if I had to guess) decided to flirt with Ms. OG and I...in a very gentlemanly way, of course. We were the only other people in the restaurant at the time, but we'll still take it as a compliment!

OG doodling while our gentleman suitors sit in the booth behind her.

Finally, Ms. J arrived! She tried to eat Ms. OG, per usual, but I was able to talk her into getting breakfast instead.

After breakfast, OG and I went to the park to play.  We kept going down a lot of steps so we could see the pond and duckies, and we ran around and jumped and giggled. I left my phone in the car, so unfortunately there are no photos.  Just memories!

All the running wore my little OG down, so it was home for napnap.  However, once she woke up we decided to go visit dada at work!  More running, squealing and giggles were had. As soon as OG saw her dada, she yelled "DADA!" and ran to him.  It was adorable.

By the time we got home, OG's outfit was covered in the evidence of her fun day: food, grass, dirt, milk, etc., so we put on her other new Kohl's sale find! Oh yes...

It was a perfect day with my little lady. xoxox
