big girls girls night out

LE and I recently had our turn at Mommy-Daughter Date Night.  I gave her several options and she picked dinner at a fancy restaurant.  We did Maggiano's and shared Mom's lasagna.  She was so grown up; placing her napkin in her lap, keeping her elbows off the table, and not talking with food in her mouth.  These are all things she pointed out to me during the evening so I knew she was using manners.
We also made a stop at Sam Moon (and they are not as cheap as I remember!), Marshalls's for a new pair of summer sandals, Tutti Fruiti for dessert and HEB for a bottle of nail polish; color of her choice - sparkly gold.)
