I’ll give you one guess as to why the following statements from Lily last night had me grinning from ear to ear…
“These are the stupidest pajamas I’ve ever seen. I hate them!”
“You’re so mean!”
“I’m not cuddling with you tonight!”
“Go away!!!!”
Any guesses…? No?
The fortunate recipient of the above statements was my husband. For once. He never, ever, ever gets the brunt of Lily’s PMS style behavior. The irrational, moody and argumentative girl I know so well has been a stranger to Jeff. He was finally introduced to her last night, and I loved every single minute of it.
Just goes to show what a night out alone with Mommy can do.
And not having to tend to nails for the next two weeks? Icing on the cake.

What a living doll!!
Precious! Nothing like a pedi! You are teaching her well.
Ha! Gotta love girls – hanging out with them is soooo fun! But man, the drama. It’s like living with 2 of myself. On sugar highs. With infinite energy. It’s good to have dad take the brunt of it sometimes ;-)
How cute is that?!?!
Train ‘em young, I say!
LOL!
I love the pictures. But what did Jeff say? He has to understand what you’ve been saying all along!
heading here from Ryan’s- so sorry about the mishap! why don’t you do
followers, just curious, because i don’t use subscribing.
and your Lily sounds a lot like my 7 year old Lola!!
Ha ha. I kind of sort of take pleasures in those moments too. I hate always being the ‘mean’ one.
Ahhh… Sweet revenge!
Looks like you two had a blast! I try to get away with just my oldest daughter every so often. It does help her mood, too.
She is so gorgeous!
And I love it when Adam gets the crap from the kids. Lets him know I am not making it up.
HOW FUN!!!
She’s soooooo cute!! Dad’s need to see that side sometimes, my dad always thought my sister was an angel and I honestly believe he thought my made made up the bad things she said / did!!! Luckily dad caught on eventually hehe – she made me look great!! x
LOL! Love it! Your daughter is ADORABLE! :)
She’s too cute!
I need to have a night out with my girls… looks like fun!
Oh, and my MIL needs to see what little hellions my kids can be. She’s under the assumption that neither one can do no wrong.
I find it to be a sanity check when my little one reveals all his stripes to his Dad – he has a better understanding of why I need a break. Love the photos of girls night.
I was laughing so hard on this one! What did hubby do? LOL
She’s adorable. What a grin!
I need one of those girl’s day out deals…wonder if I could get my boys to spring for one!
That is so cute!
Daddy is going to be in all kinds of trouble with this hot mess ;-) She’s gorgeous!
Jeff knew what Lily could be like, he’s just never been at the receiving end of it. It was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. :)
Those pictures are so cute!! Yea it’s nice when the fathers get the brunt of the behavior once in awhile. Sweet.
Much love from NJ,
Sue
xoxo
She is just too much…nice way to play her! ;-)
Ha ha! So Daddy’s little girl turned on Daddy! Revenge is sweet indeed! I love it! I bet he was just stunned. Love your new digs.
I can’t wait to do this with Claire.
I love this! Who’s the fun parent now? hahaha :)
It IS nice when they spread the evil-love around isn’t it? Hope you enjoyed your mom’s night out:)
Ha, aren’t girls fun?
My daughter is two and is just learning how to speak. She totally has attitude already.
Nothing quite as satisfying as proving a point to a snowed-over spouse!
Someone to share a mani/pedi with, ahhhhh. Actually, maybe getting to go to my mani/pedi alone may turn out to be a good thing. I can always use the spa as a getaway from the dudes, because there is no way I’m taking any of them with me. Can you say bull in a china shop? Love your blog; found you on SITS:)
Hah. I am, uh, happy for you :)
But really, that’s funny he is just getting a taste of that side of her. She is a cute one though with that sass.
haha thats too cute.
LOL so sad when we find such profound joy in our hubbies distress…but sometimes they just deserve it ! Mine always makes fun of me because the computer does this stupid things when I’m using it…boots me off…locks up crap like that. His response is…”Gee it never does that whenI’m on it” …..so the other night I hear him cussing a blue streak and say “honey whats wrong” ….and I hear “DAMN COMPUTER KEEPS LOCKING UP!!” Needless to say I went in the other room and had myself a good laugh! That little one of yours is such a doll and it’s good to have her on your side for a change!
LOL! That was a fun post.
Spa days are the best. Her smile says it all.
Hilarious!!! Isn’t it funny when they turn!!
:)

awww… that is so sweet! Haha, glad you got some quality Mom time in! :) I can’t wait till my girl is old enough to go get nails done together! Well, I can… cuz I want her to stay little… But it still looks like so much fun!
sadly, as a single parent I am the only one who gets that. Lucky you
Hey – the SITStas say that our bloggy style is similar! So – the question is – would we really be FRIENDS, or would we DESPISE each other in real life? Hmmm….
Seriously LOVE this post. DO you think my boys would go with me for pedicures? Nahhhh.
Aw, she is such a cutie! What a fun day she had!
Her temperment sounds like that of a little boy I know :) Fun day – almost makes me want to have a little girl – almost.
