Middle of the night dining at the diner

Two weeks ago Eammon, Maisie and I had dinner at the Diner with Ilene, Michael & April and Maisie couldn’t believe when we told her that the Diner was open even in the middle of the night.  Since then she has been asking to go back but in the middle of the night.  We decided that last night was the night to do it as a treat before school starts on Monday.   Maisie went to bed at 7PM and then we woke her late in the night (10PM) and headed out to the Diner.

I was playing around with my Hipstamatic for iPhone, isn’t it fun!

Yesterday morning at TOPs practice Maisie was able to do two complete press handstands which I thought was a big thing so I wanted to give her a reward for doing so well.  When I asked what she would like she said that she wanted feathers in her team colors.  As luck would have it the little salon which does the feathers was on our way home from the gym and they were empty.  Ten minutes at the salon and Maisie was sporting her team colors, ready and perfect for her first meet of the year coming this Saturday!!

My cutie girl Maisie loves her pasta.
