Tonight

In about an hour and a half actually. My step mom will be pulling up to our house and whisking me and my oldest daughter away for a girls night in Downtown Chicago! My oldest doesn't even know it is happening. We are kidnapping her :) After the pool today I told her she had to dress up. She might have an idea something is happening but she is clueless as to what! After grandma picks us up we are heading to pick up (Aunt) Becky and then go to the restaurant that we are meeting two of my cousins who are in town. One of my boy cousins are getting married this Saturday so they are here for that. I unfortunately am not going to be able to go to the wedding. I feel bad I haven't gone to any of my cousins who have gotten married...I have 22 cousins. I have plenty more to attend in the future! Anyways, I totally got side tracked there. I am so excited to have a night away with just the girls!!! I love that GG is getting old enough to be able to do fun things like this. Great memories should be created tonight that's for sure.

On the topic of girls night the ladies in my small group have organized a girls night out in a little over a week. Then in a few months J and I get to go away for the weekend just the two of us. We have our room booked we just need to get child care but I know that will work itself out. This sounds like I don't like being with me kids. I do love being with them. But I'm with them ALL. THE. TIME. Mama needs a little break every once in a while, ya know?
