Today, Joelle and I spent a terrific day together along with her Auntie Laurie. What was so terrific? Shopping, duh! Joelle has been asking me to take her for a full day of shopping for some time now so Marina stayed with Shaun and off we went. First, we went to Freeport to go to Coach and so Joelle could see what is meant by the town being "quaint". She loved how a lot of the stores looked like homes and wants to go in the spring when walking is actually enjoyable (you mean 8 degree temps aren't enjoyable)?
Next, we went to Macaroni Grille and then off to the mall. Ok, Joelle certainly got her shopping enthusiasm from me but where the heck did she get the indecisiveness? Seriously. I think we spent 15 minutes in Journeys just staring at sneakers well beyond what I would allow her to spend. Granted, she had enough gift cards to buy the darn things but it was the principle. I mean, what kid needs $80 sneakers? Not mine. Anyway, Joelle just kept staring at the sneaker wall (very small, mind you) while Laurie and I (im)patiently waited. I really think Joelle thought the sneakers were miraculously going to lower in price if she stared at them long enough.
We had a nice time. I don't often get to spend one on one time with my girls. Today reminded me just how grown up Joelle is becoming.....such a lovely young lady that one is.
Tomorrow, off to Natick with Marina to spend the day at the American Girl Doll Place while Joelle spends the day with her dad.
