6/ 52 weeks of Happiness

In addition to soccer and backyard t-ball practice Saturday, I went with Mom to visit my Grandy at the hospital.  She had been there over a week (which was quite a bit longer than I had anticipated her being there) and the visiting hours are very strict, much stricter than when she was in the ICU, only one hour a day and only two people can visit with her at a time, so I decided it was time and figured Mom could use the support.  The visit went relatively okay I guess.  Eh, afterwards though I told Mom I didn't have anywhere I had to be directly so we went to the mall.

Ah, retail therapy.  She denied and tried to take offense to my referring to our shopping as that at first, stating "That outfit is really cute" and "Maggie will look ADORABLE in this." After $80 and only an outfit for each girl and realizing she was only just getting started shopping, she conceded that maybe this was retail therapy.  We come by it honestly: Grandy was a big participant in retail therapy.

At the end of the day, we each wound up getting a couple spring dresses, spent more time together (and away from the hospital or Grandy's) than we have in months, and got the girls some new shoes, sandals, and sunglasses.  Both girls appreciated their loot, but Maggie was so proud of her flip-flops.  She has barely taken them off since Saturday.
