Rainy Day Spa

So the weekend was was a wash out. Literally. Nothing but rain. Ugh. What do you do with two girls when you’re stuck in the house all day? Well, normally I encourage mine to go find something to do if I’m honest. On Saturday though I was feeling like I haven’t put in my best effort lately on the “mother of the year” front so I decided it was time for pedicures!

I pulled out my rarely used foot soaker, lined up some nail polish, pulled out their favorite reading material and pulled them into my bathroom for some spa time.

Hair got done, nails and feet. We chatted about girl things, you know, like you do at the spa.

I gave them long foot and leg massages and painted their little toes.

I thought for sure that my turn would be next. But no........

they grabbed their father. Gave him a beer. Rubbed his feet. Even de-linted him? Then they escorted him to the couch with his cold beer, put cucumbers on his eyes and encouraged him to take a nap!

And I got to clean it all up. I’m booking a pedicure Monday.
