Quite the Adventure

Kathleen has been wanting to go and get a pedicure for a while, and of course I am always up for anything other than mopping the kitchen floor.  Yesterday we finally got our chance.  It worked out perfectly because we got to go with our friends that live in South Jordan, right by Grandpa and Grandma so I could have a babysitter for the other kids.  I even left Odette because I wouldn't be too far away if it ended up that she needed me.  (She behaved well and even ate some pizza flavored goldfish!  The only issue was when the wrong button got pushed on the feeding pump and I easily walked them through fixing that over the phone.  Thank you Grandpa and Grandma!)

We first went to Kneaders for lunch.  I didn't take pictures because, well most of you have seen what 8 and 9 year olds look like when they are eating!  It was awesome-Kathleen ate all her lunch and fruit tarts are delish from there.

Next we were off to get our nails done.  I think the girls changed their minds a dozen times of what color to choose.  Me, I of course chose lime green until it was too light and so I went with red.  Kathleen and Lauren each chose pink and Andi was the brave one with turquoise.  (I think I will try that next time--they were way cute!)

Kathleen got some really cool flowers done on hers.

While the girls were waiting for us to finish they were playing outside.  Andi scared them by pushing the honk button on the keys since they were right by the car.  You should have seen them jump!  We were taking longer than the girls wanted and they needed to get something out of the car.  Andi just gave them the keys to get what they needed.  When they came back in they had giant grins on their faces and announced, "We locked the keys in the car!"  Of course we thought they were joking and trying to trick us after the horn honk....

...nope!  We checked it out and there were the keys, right on the driver side seat, with the money to pay for our pedicures.  When asked how it happened Lauren replied, "I sat the keys on the seat, locked the door with my hand and shut it!"  The innocence of youth!  The car has a keypad for occasions such as these, but it is a new car and the code hadn't been memorized (now all four of us have it memorized!) and the spare key was even still inside the car.  The only option we had was to call a locksmith.  While waiting for the locksmith, the girls of course were entertained with their "fancy" new shoes and were using them as wings to try and fly.  We also got a nice picture of everyone's toenails when the sun went behind a cloud.

And finally, after what seemed like hours, Bob arrived to save the day!  Lauren had been told she was going to pay the fee for the locksmith.  We asked Bob what kind of discount he gives to 8 year olds who only have $1.25 in their purse.  He did not have a sense of humor to say the least.

Sixty five dollars later and another silly memory made, we were on our way home.  My final synopsis of the day would be--If you take two girls and two moms out for the afternoon, you are bound to have quite the adventure!
