Girls' Night Out

Abby Kate and I were able to enjoy some girl time this weekend. We had the best time together; just the two of us. Friday night we attempted to go to the circus. I had been working the consignment sale all day and had asked Jason a couple of different times if I should have him order us tickets online, but he said that we should be fine. Before we headed out Friday night, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and found ourselves sitting in traffic to enter the parking garage for about 30 minutes. When I paid to park, I asked the lady taking my money if she had heard if they were sold out or not. She said that they had been sold out for quite awhile now and handed me back my money. I felt really bad for Abby Kate and told her that we would definitely come back. Since the circus was out, she told me that she wanted to go to the mall. We shopped around for a little while and stopped off at Claire's to buy some rings that Abby Kate had picked out. We sat down and ate a little ice cream and then she played until it was time to head home.

Friday Night

Trying on the latest fashion at Claire's!

Fortunately, I was able to find tickets to the Sunday afternoon show. Abby Kate and I had the best time together at the circus. She loved seeing the tigers, and I loved the elephants. I have to admit, I really did not know WHAT to expect. I did not expect to be sitting there in fear for the performers. It was pretty amazing, but I found it a bit BUSY!!! If the boys ever want to go to the circus, I think that Jason will have to take them. I enjoyed it, but don't think that I will ever go back. For now, I will stick with the zoo and the aquarium. :)

After the circus, Abby Kate and I enjoyed a nice meal at Olive Garden. I had so much fun sitting across from my beautiful little girl and talking with her. She is growing up so fast. I am so thankful for the memories that we shared on our Girls' Night Out.

Elephants!
I loved how they held onto each others tail.

At the circus!

Such a happy little girl!

More elephants!

Oh, did you notice the new glasses? I went to see my good friend, Jennifer the other day and found out that I needed glasses for my eye stigmatisms. I'm still trying to get used to them, but I am loving not having headaches anymore. Before I started wearing my glasses, I was having (at least) 5 headaches a week. Now, I think that I've had about 1 headache each week. I guess that those 5 years of not getting my eyes checked really caught up with me.
