date night

skylar and i had a special date night. it was so much fun! we got all dressed up, did manis & pedis with the color she chose from target. i actually love it! skylar will probably be a fashionista just like her dad. seriously, russ has great style. anyway... we went to her best friend's dance recital and then out to dinner. before the recital, we went backstage to chat with mackenzie, where she very politely introduced skylar to her dance class buddies. whitney are i were both so pleased with their little manners! it was darling! when we sat down, the 1st act started, which is when skylar started her favorite question of the night, "is THIS mackenzie?" she asked and asked and asked until the 4th act, when her friend came on stage. when she spotted her, she shouted "HI MACKENZIE!" from about 2/3 back in the seats. haha! she sat on my lap the whole time, and i loved it. its rare that i get to give skylar undevided attention. actually, i dont think we've been out of the house, just the 2 of us, since disney on ice in january. i told her we could leave whenever she was ready, and she was a few minutes after mackenzies performance. kenzie did really well! skylar decided she wanted pizza for dinner, so we went to our local pizza joint, deweys. we had to wait a few minutes, but while doing so, we watched the staff make pizza. skylar was totally entertained. she picked all the grapes and walnuts out of my salad for her appetizer, and then proceeded to eat 1/2 a caprice pizza... 4 slices! then we had a huge piece of chocolate cake. she wanted to feed me my cake, so i let her. i also let her jump in the booth, put salt and pepper on whatever she wanted, run around a bit, etc. i told her that we should have a mommy and me date night more often and she said, "sure! but next time we should bring dad and b!" ;-) unfortunately, i did not bring my camera into the dance recital or to dinner. duh!! the pictures on my phone are no good either!
