I learned that . . .
. . . 7 year old girls will spend a lot of time picking out the perfect dress, shoes, and earrings to wear for special day with Grandma.
. . . a trip to Claires to get earrings results in one little girl coming home with earrings, flip flops, and a stuffed raccoon that sings Happy Birthday.
. . . stuffed raccoons that sing happy birthday are cute.
. . . Dude needs reading glasses.
. . . getting reading glasses during the early stages of distance vision loss can slow down the process.
. . . stuffed raccoons that sing happy birthday are not cute after the 10th time.
. . . I love sushi.
. . . my kids love to eat sushi with “tweasers” and fun chops.
. . . my Mom is not crazy for sushi.
. . . my Mom will try anything.
. . . my Mom is not afraid to take the car and some hand-written directions and head out for Ice Cream and a trip to Walmart to get another laser pointer.
. . . Princess and Grandma can find plenty of things to do when Hubby, Dude, and I run some errands and get home after they do.
. . . some special time with Grandma makes a Princess the happiest person on the planet.
. . . 60 degree days can be followed with cold temperatures and blowing snow.
. . . cold temperatures and blowing snow make for great family time in front of the fire place.
. . . Paul Blart: Mall Cop is still funny the 3rd time.
. . . it’s fun to hang out and play games with the family.
. . . these are days I will remember forever.
. . . I hope my kids remember the special family time as much as I do.
Stay tuned to see what I learned in Part XI of Spring Break!
