My daughter and I had the best day. We went to lunch and then had a "day of beauty". She got her haircut and highlighted! very sparsely but noticeable. She looks way too old now! LOL Then we got manicures and pedicures. My girl couldn't stand this one spot where the gray made it really blonde (did I mention that I went blonde last week?? LOL actually very golden highlights) so she fixed mine! LOL It was so decadent. At one point DD is in a massage chair, one lady doing her nails and the other doing her feet..she was in heaven! We just giggled like girl friends. It was really nice.

Thanks. It really was. I think I am going to make it an annual back to school tradition for us.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun. Moments like that make me wish I had a little girl. Bet it is fun.

Aw Tex, it sounds like it was a great day for you two! I've never been a girlie girl and have little interest in clothes (as long as they match and are clean I'm good to go, lol,) hair, or makeup. However, having a little girl has made me more aware of these things. Kota's perfect days are having a nice, hot bubblebath, getting her hair fixed cute, having me put lotion over most of her body, having her finger and toenails painted, and then putting on a pretty little dress. It cracks me up that she takes so much enjoyment from it since I was nothing like that as a child. I would try taking her for a manicure and pedicure, but I do know my daughter, and three minutes after leaving, she'd revert to her tomboyish ways and be climbing a tree and messing it all up, LOL.

Thanks Maris..it is fun, but my boy is definitely "easier"! LOL War, it's funny to see them be so girly one minute and then tomboy the next.

Wow! What a great day. I hope my baby girl (on the way) and I have a relationship like that. I'm a girly girl and just had a manicure and pedicure recently. That is something I definitely would love to do with my daughter.

Aww, you make me so lonely for my daughter. She and I used to have days like that. When she comes home from college she saves one day for mother/daughter things and it's so special to me. She called the other day and I told her I needed new clothes but when I went shopping it was no fun with out her. She said the same thing happened to her recently. She's always been a girlie girl. We'd buy clothes with matching shoes, socks, jewelry and hair clips. She never got a new outfit it was always an ensemble. Going to the drug store was a mother/daughter thing, even if we only picked out new nail polish. Another thing I miss is the girls movie nights when we'd kick her brothers and father out for the evening and watch chick flicks while eating too much ice cream and chocolate. P.S. Don't think I don't adore my sons, but their idea of bonding is to brag that mom can pitch a tent and play video games, it's just not the same.

Secret, I know just what you mean! My DD and I have the most fun shopping! She didn't come home this summer from college and it was really lonely without her. She's made it home a few times, but it's not the same. We used to look at each other, get a twinkle in our eyes, and both say "Lets go SHOPPING!!" And I REALLY miss watching chick flicks! My guys will sit down and watch them with me, but within 20 minutes DH is snoring and DS is getting restless and then just kind of wanders away!!

Awww... I wish I had a little girl to do that stuff with. Sounds like a wonderful time! I do have "date" nights with Scotty - that's fun too, but I never get to do anything girlie like that. RG - I totally know what you mean with chick flicks!

Gotta' add my 2 cents...first, the day sounds wonderful! So glad you and DD had a fabulous time. However, being a "non-girlie" girl, I can't say how thankful I am to have a son! LOL He's not a big athlete, but he loves books, puzzle, music, etc. so we have a lot of fun hanging out. We had our annual "back to school" day last week -- lunch out, a bit of shopping for DS's new clothes, dinner out, a play ("The Hobbit") and capped off w/ a "late night" snack downtown. We had a blast!

I have the best of both worlds - a son who loves to shop. We don't score well on the girlie movie issue, but I've watched and enjoyed guy movies I probably would have missed. The best part is that no matter what we do together, we laugh a lot and always have fun together. I am blessed.
