My adorable 13 year old and I decided to have a boy free shopping day at Chadstone. She babysat on Saturday so that she would have extra money (what girl doesn't love to spend) and planned every little thing that she was going to look for.
Boy number one (15 year old) had already planned to spend the day at his mates place and boy number two (my youngest- 11 year old) was more than delighted when I organised for him to stay with his friend for the whole day.
So we were free. Just the two of us heading off to shop. Free to look in every shop we wanted to, free to do 30 laps and back again from one end to the other if we need to, free to comment on anything without the 'what does that mean' (as boys do!).
(-Last time my 15 year old came to chadstone with us we went to his shop first as he couldn't wait to get what he was after. Five steps out of the store he says "ok we've been to my shop so we only need to go to two more, one for Brooke and one for mum then we can go home" )
Anyway so we had our beautiful mother/daughter day out and it was so good. (except for the depressing fact that we wished we had lots of money to buy all the things we wanted) But it was good. Really good.
My daughter was so cute. Every shop we went into where she saw something she liked but wanted to look around before she spent her money, she listed into her phone so we knew where to come back to. And believe me, we went back. To every single one. But watching her once we got back in the car excitedly pulling her purchases out of the bags was just the best. Her favourite was an ever so cute pencil case from Sportsgirl (she has a thing about pencil cases-we're not even half way through the year and this is her third one). I reckon she must have pulled that pencil case out of the bag to look at it about 100 times while we were shopping.
So we had a great boy free day. And we can't wait until the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!
