Day 6: Presidents' Day

Well...I'm going to have to say Presidents' Day just went down as my new all time favorite holiday!!! My school was closed, but the kids' preschool wasn't.
A DAY TO MYSELF?!?!?!
I have to admit that I spoiled myself today. I dropped the kiddos off at school, went to the gym, sat in Starbucks ALONE, shopped at Target in peace, I got a mani/pedi with a friend, using a gift card I got from a student for Christmas.

I loved this until someone asked me if I was a Miami Dolphin fan. :( 

 I shopped a little, and bought myself a new purse.

You can't really tell in the picture, but it's peach and perfect for Spring. Love it...and great deal at TJ Maxx.

I met a friend for lunch at Panera. I went to donate blood, but the place was closed so I'll have to go back one day this week. I grocery shopped alone. And now I'm sitting in a quiet house for one more hour before I pick them up. I think this will become a new annual tradition.

I definitely cherish every moment I get to spend with my kids, but this break was just what I needed!
Of course I won't sign off without posting what everyone comes here for...

Ready to go!

She picked her own attire out for school. When I picked her up, the teacher said she'd been fighting her all day on wearing the shoes. Note to Gracie: only tennis shoes for school!

We loooove dress up and imaginary play! This game is called "Princess and Knight".

The girls were troopers at the outlet mall yesterday. 

Jack was rewarded for good behavior, so he got to jump. Here he is waiting to jump and freezing!

Grace requested a smoothie, even though it was probably only 50 degrees outside at the most. I guess Erin wasn't thrilled with the situation.

Fun!
