Pedicure

Today was the first "kid swap" day. Me and two of my friends started a kid swap. We each take a turn watching all the kids while the other two moms get some alone time. This was Mike's idea to help keep my sanity. He does have good ideas now and then. So between 3 moms (and 6 kids) you have 1 turn of watching kids and 2 turns of free time. Love it! So today, I went and got that pedicure that I've been talking about FOREVER. I also decided to step out of my normal conservative color choice and had the toes painted bright pink. Well a little darker tone so that it wouldn't look tacky but brighter than I've ever done. I figure it's so rarely done, why not go with a "notice my feet" color. Mia noticed. Now she's bugging me to do her nails too.
Last night my niece called and volunteered her babysitting services Saturday night:) She said the catch is that I have to take her to her soccer game (also in Holland) Sunday. Some catch since we like to go see her play when she's in our area anyway. The big test will be to see how much Mike and I can actually converse about that's not centered around our children. It's hard to believe we were ever individual people since I can't seem to talk for 5 minutes now without bringing up something about the kids. I'm looking forward to a dinner for two.
