In this lovely season of my life girls' nights out usually consist of running into another Mom at Walgreen's in the middle of the night. Seriously, that's exciting as it gets.
And I'm not complaining because, after all, this is a just a season. There will be many years for girls nights where we will probably sit around and wax nostalgic about the good ol' days when our kids were little and we had no time. I get it.
But one girls night every five years seems reasonable enough to me. So to Groupon we went. And the next thing you know we are sitting at a Mexican restaurant painting pictures of birds' eggs. It was fun, even though my brain felt like it might explode as it hadn't been stretched that far out of its comfort zone in quite some time. I usually leave the art to my daughter.
Believe it or not, there are four little boys in utero represented in this picture. None of which are in my uterus. Knock. On. Wood.
Mia acted mortified at my artistic skills. She poo-pooed my efforts and as a result she got this lovely picture plastered in the middle of her wall where it will stay until she learns some humility.
Thanks for the memories, ladies. I'll see you again in about five years.

Such a fun night. I bet I could lure you out for a Starbucks before the five year mark!
I almost bought a groupon for painting classes. It's been so long...I miss it. Glad you got to have a fun evening!!
Who are the four???
Sorry I wasn't there! I'm cracking up at the paintings. What if you made your painting different from the others? Like, add an extra egg or put the tree on the wrong side. Would you be banned for life? Love it.
I am really impressed at your painting skills!! And I kinda like Gena's idea - sneaking in something extra or different! Fun!
It looks like a fun night.
Glad you got to get out! AWESOME with the placement of your work! I think it looks GREAT!
