today is my dear friends birthday!! now most mom's don't get to really live it up on their birthdays, but boy oh boy did we live it up today!! the funny thing is how it really wasn't all that exciting, but to these 2 moms it was GREAT!!!!
we hired a sitter to stay with the 2 girls here at my place and took off for kohl's! friend had 50 bucks to spend there. well, you had to spend atleast ten and then you got 50 dollars extra. so in reality $60 worth of merchandise for $10. so we took off looking for chlothes. dear friend immedietly spotted a beautiful shirt she new i had to try on. being her birthday i said i'd try on whatever she picked out....well that was all she needed. next thing i knew she had returned the shirt and spotted a beautiful, and i mean it was "beautiful" skirt and blouse. she then found some lovely tourquiose pants and a orange flower shirt to match. i did spot a nice pair of jungle pants and matching shirt in just her size!! along with a few real items we headed to the dressing room. we were quite giggly while making comments through the wall to each other. as we modeled our attire a cute elderly lady walked in and i'm sure i heard her chuckle at us. realizing that nothing looked very good on us, well, the jungle outfit was a definite fit but she claimed her hubby would not approve, we returned all the clothes.
now we were in a dilema....what on earth is she going to spend the money on. i mean it is 50 bucks!!! we checked to see if a gift card could be purchased, but no. must be used today!!
SHOES!!!! ah ha!! what girl doesn't like shoes? commenting on the fact we don't have boots to wear with the clothes we tried on and didn't like, we decided upon boots!!!
after trying on a few we each found a pair that we loved and together met the goal!!! we had so much fun just being silly girls!!
of course a birthday out is never complete until lunch...so a quick trip to panera for lunch and we were happy girls!!! we had a great time and were both slightly disappointed that we weren't surprising our husbands with the wonderful outfits we had picked out for each other, but love our boots too much to dwell on the disappointment too long!!
upon arrival back home, our two girls were quite content and sad to say good bye!!
so, dear friend, happy birthday!! i feel so blessed by our friendship!!! it was a total answer to so many peoples prayers...and how many times today did we say the same thing at the same time?!! way too weird!
