Scrapronicity 365

Sunday, August 30th

{242/365} My plan each year is to have a "last hurrah" alone with Em before school starts. Last year we attended the scrapbook convention just for the day...this year I thought it would be fun to stay overnight. Yesterday morning we arrived early, checked into our room (Em was so excited you would think we were staying at the Waldorf) and headed to our 10:30 "Dutch Door Travel Book" class. After class we grabbed lunch and met Kim and Meg at the vendor faire...the girls enjoyed a glittery make and take and experimented with stencils and chalk. We then headed to our cool Basic Grey class at 3:30 then after that, dinner at the hotel. After Meg and Kim headed out, I surprised Emily by mentioning that there was a pool in the hotel...and that I packed her suit...she freaked out! She happily swam and two hours later we headed back to the room. We decided to have a "movie night" and watched "Imagine That" as we munched on popcorn and snacks! This morning I ordered room service, which Emily thought was the coolest thing ever (gotta love kids). Apparently room service eggs and bacon tastes better when it's under a silver dome! ;) After breakfast we headed to the pool again and I watched my little fish swim with a huge smile on her face. Around 1pm we sadly packed up all of our goodies and headed back to the boys...and fur girl...who were anxiously waiting for our arrival. We missed them but didn't want our fun to end. :( This was a fantastic weekend with my sweet girl and if everything works out, we plan on doing it again next year. What a great way to end the summer. :)
