This past Mother’s Day I gave my mom a promise of a future pedicure/girl’s day out as a gift.  Because my mom has been in and out of the state so much this year (anyone elses’ retired parents have a busier social schedule than their children???) it took until this week to finally fit in the date.  I had a gift certificate to cash in, a former parent of a student owns a nail shop called Cathy Nails if you are interested, so we headed over, just the girls: Mom, Guinevere and me.

I chose my usual, french tips, Mom went traditional reddish pinkish, and Gigi went hog wild, alternating between pink and gold, with a fancy flower and gem on each big toe.  I had no complaints about the services, not that this is a review or anything, but the owner’s brother gives a really intense, totally awesome deep tissue foot massage with your pedicure.  My mom and I were both just dying.  The best death, of course!

 

When we were done we headed to Blue-C Sushi so Gigi could try something new, and my mom had never been to see the sushi make its way around to you on the tracks.  Totally gimmicky, not the best sushi, but oh-so-ever-so fun! I was super impressed at the variety of new things that Gigi was willing to try in the name of adventure.

And our final stop, of course, was Norstroms.  As we headed through the door Gigi was draggin her feet, wanting to head home.  Little did she know that when you take Mimi into Nordstroms, Mimi can’t resist buying a pretty dress for a grateful, kind and deserving little girly girl.  She ended up with a fancy dress for Thanksgiving or Christmas or some other formalish event, and a cute polka dotted skirt for school.  She loved the dress so much that we had to head back into the dressing room to wear it home.  She was thrilled.  Thanks you for the fun day, Mimi!!!  (Sadly, none of the pictures with my mom actually in them made it through e-mail properly, but rest assured she was there and we LOVE her dearly!)

This is what happens when you ask Gigi to strike a model pose!
