Friday and no school...

...11/11/11 - what a fun date and I got to spend the entire day with my girlies.  We started the day off with a visit to the dentist for Mia Rose.  This was actually her third appointment within two months, as she has had some cavities.  This is in fact quite shocking to us as our youngest daughter never goes to bed without brushing her teeth.  Well, in any case - she did have cavities and they are now all fixed.  Mia Rose - unlike me - loves going to her dentist.  She gets to pick a flavor for her laughing gas, pick out fun sunglasses, and pick out the movie she is going to watch for the procedure.  You should have seen her Thursday night!  "Yes, I get to go to the dentist tomorrow..." Yup, it is true...presents, laughing gas, and tv will do the trick.  I just hope that she will always be so fond of the dentist.

After the dentist's office we went up to the Oregon Zoo.  It was a very foggy day - chilly, cold, dim, and no rain.  Perfect day to be outside, get some fresh air, and admire the beautiful animals.  I love those days.  The skies are foggy, and dim, but the leaves on the trees are shining with their fall colors.  There is something very magical about it.

So, I have to disappoint in one respect today as there will be no dinner post.  It is just us girls today so we had some soup at New Seasons for an early dinner.  We may still roast some chestnuts in the oven,  or maybe leave that for tomorrow....Happy Weekend all :)
