This is what happend with Isabel a little while ago. When she said this, I realized between ball season, church responsibilites, and Erik traveling, we haven't done dates in a while. So we niched out a Wednesday night where she and I would go out.
We had such a good time. We tried out a cupcake shop, "Gigi's" that I have been eyeballing for a while. She got to pick out whatever she wanted. No suprise it took her forever to make up her mind. I was glad the lady behind the counter was patient, but I was not about to rush my child on our date. We talked about each one we saw and who would enjoy each one. She finally decided on an ALL CHOCOLATE one, do you know why? Because Mutta (my mom) would pick that one.
We ate our delicious cupcakes and talked about lots of different things. Then we went to the library. I, of course, brought my camera so we had to have a photo shoot out by the fountian. 
We did some errands after we picked out TONS of books to bring home. It was a great afternoon with my favorite 8 year old in the world. I love this girl. I am so glad she reminded me she needed time alone.

Glad you were able to make time for her. She is SO cute and SO sweet! I'm looking at those cupcakes and my mouth is watering... :) Will definitely have to try Gigi's sometime.
