Missy's day!

Poor lovely beautiful darling girl, deserved to spend the whole day with Mom. She has been craving and asking for it for-ever. And the day finally came. She slept in my bed and we were up and at 'em in the morning. We threw the camera in the car so we could pictorally record our day! After a Starbux run, because there was no coffee in the house we were off. We took the Sumas crossing which gave us a border wait of 25 minutes as opposed to 90. Missy took the significant pictures until the border (ie-oru starbux run and the border) and then once over EVERYTHING was documented. Including American horses, which, if you didn't know, are different than Canadian horses. So on our drive we heard a news story about a man being arrested in Canada for housing 5 different firearms. When questioned why, he answered because the elves were stalking him. In all honesty, this guy believed in elves......AND believed they were stalking him.

So, I reiterated this to Missy. Her response? Well Mom, the only elves that are real are Santa's elves. If there were any elves that were stalking him it would be them and they are only checking to see if he has been good or bad!

I laughed...........really laughed.........out loud.......long and hard.

That was a priceless moment and one I won't forget!!!

So we carried on down to Burlington Outlets where we found the Lulu Lemon factory outlet. My little girl has been craving a Lulu  Lemon hoodie because you see 990% of the girls in her class own Lulu Lemon stuff. Now normally I am NOT the mother who gets sucked into name brands, but I also remember being the young girl who had ALL of her clothes handed down to me, and how that made me the laughing stock of the grade 7 population.

I remember one horrific event where I had to wear these boots that were handed down to me, had to wear them because of the rain.....the torment I lived during that year has still scarred me

So I found her a Lulu Lemon hoodie that she ADORES for a price I could justify.  While at Burlington, we checked out a few more shops. Not the extent of checking that I wanted to do but I didn't have money so I didn't want to put myself in the way of temptation.

We left Burlington and headed toward Bellis Fair and Missy kept on with her photojournalism. After getting a quick bite, we wandered around the mall, hit a few stores that I needed to hit and then headed back to home. Once home we had a quick easy dinner and curled up and watched three movies before we crawled into bed.

Missy's thoughts on the day?

IT WAS PERFECT!!!!!
