Spiderman, Ruby Slippers and Manicures.

I had a great weekend full of lots of fun stuff. Saturday started with a fun girls lunch at the Lynden Reserve, a golf club type restaurant with absolutely delicious food. We were there to celebrate Lili's soon coming bundle of joy. It was the best 'non shower' baby shower ever... none of the silly games, but all the good company and cute gifts. My mom and I had purchased a super cute bassinette for little baby Benjamin. It looks like this:

 
After the luncheon Mel, Lili and myself did a little shopping at a nice kids consignment store called "Little Red Wagon". I found some really great things for my adorable niece and nephew. They'll soon both have their own rooms so I thought I'd get lil Benjamin a head start on decorating with this awesome lamp:


This is what it does:




Maggie can't decide if she likes it or not. As Maggie & Benjamin will be sharing a room until they move in spring, I figure Spidey will most likely be adorning my brother's night stand until he's forced to share with Benjamin come moving time. :)


For Maggie I found a cute pink skirt that's perfect for twirling, and these fabulous ruby shoes:


If only they had a matching pair in my size!

After shopping, the girls and I headed to the nail salon. Mel & Lili both got pedicures and I got a manicure. It was a great afternoon and hopefully Lili enjoyed the last few days of her 'no newborn' days.

It was a fun day! I keep looking down at my toes and it makes me smile. Maggie is in love with her shoes, she always wants to wear them... why? "because they are cute, Mommy!"--Maggie.
