Girls Just Wanna Have Fu-un

Today Rio and I went on a mother-daughter date. It has been a few months since our last one and I was really looking forward to it because her attitude and my increasingly shortened temper for her attitude have been a bad combo lately.

First stop, haircut. She got a much needed trim and layers, topped off with butterfly barrettes, sparkles and a lollipop.

Then to a fancy toystore for a lot of browsing and not a lot of buying (which was handled surprisingly well).

Next was lunch at a great little cafe, topped off with delicious mini cupcakes and tea for two.

Last, and certainly least, a field trip to the new Walmart Superstore, biggest in Canada (or is it North America?). Every bit of my good judgement told me we shouldn't go but I just had to see for myself. I should have listened to my instincts and turned back when I saw people directing traffic into the parking lot. Ick is all I have to say. First and last visit.

We ended up at home several hours later with a happy and tired little girl and a mom who was thrilled to have put on a decent outfit and leave the house without being covered in vomit. Good day had by all!
