My evening with a Rock Star

Cait and I got to hang out just the two of us last night. So. Much. Fun. I love she is old enough to really do that with me now! Well, I was in my bathroom throwing my hair in to a ponytail and trying to look cute in my t-shirt and jeans when in walked Cait..... GASP!

Really? She had just been in the pool dripping wet. And now she had gone all Glam & Girly on me. Short Skirt. (yikes) Jean jacket. Cowgirl hat. Sparkly purse. New Boots... She had really pulled that outfit together.....I felt very under dressed.... And motivated to get on my treadmill for atleast 4 hours a day till my legs looked like that again. 

"Mom, could you paint my nails hot pink? And I think I need some lip stuff. And could you put that eye stuff on me?"  

I did a double take. Where is Cait? And what did you do to her? I wanted to say. Nails, lips and eyes. Ummmm, okay. My dreams were coming true right before my eyes. My tomboy was asking to get girly with makeup and stuff. Giddyup!  So we did the nails, lips and eyes. Then she even posed for me when I asked if we could take a picture.... Because I just had to share this with y'all!

So I dressed up my yellow t-shirt and jeans with some sassy hoop earrings and we hopped in the car for our girls night out.  

As we were pulling into the parking lot of Olive Garden, she said to me "Mom are they going to think I am a Rock Star?" I couldn't even respond. What do you say to that? Of course they are! It was so stinkin cute. She was feeling fabulous about herself, and I was just taking it all in. I had the biggest grin on my face! I couldn't stop smiling as all the people saw her and smiled. Several people stopped to comment on her hat and boots. She felt like a million bucks! How great is that? 

After dinner we headed to the movie theaters. We saw Soul Surfer. Really good show! On the way home we rocked out to Justin Bieber. Then we snuggled in bed watching netflix till we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. It was such a fun evening! I love you Cait. Thanks for letting me hang out with you last night!
