got a call a few days ago talking about getting family pictures taken this Saturday…

wasn’t sure I really wanted to participate, but decided to get a haircut just to be on the safe side… after that I realized that all the purple is gone from my hair, so I made an appointment to get purpled…

the pictures are going to be taken in the park, and when I ask what people will be wearing I’m told – blue jeans…

here’s something you may not know about me… I don’t think I have ever worn blue jeans… for sure not in the last 50 years… this past summer I was talked into a pair of blue jean shorts, which I wore out about three times – when I was with my daughter, lol…

so, after talking with Cyndi, this morning I asked Crystal if she was available to go shopping with me after work… we went to Reitman’s which is where daughter number one suggested they might have something in their Petite line that I would like…

after trying on a couple of pairs Crystal picked one which I didn’t mind too much… then we went to Addition Elle and picked up a hoodie type top to go with them… Crystal had to text her sister to let her know the exciting news… she is waiting for pictures…

tempura and edemame…

after that, to celebrate, we went out for sushi for our dinner… funny because I’ve been thinking about sushi for days and when I asked Crystal what she wanted the first thing out of her mouth was sushi…

sushi rolls which we gobbled up…

after our lovely dinner we went to Chapters where she picked up a book and I found a few for the little boys for Christmas… since Cyndi was born we have given each of the kids a book for Christmas and their birthdays… that has followed through with the boys – husbands and grandsons…

finally home after another busy day…

so, now I am ready for family pictures…
