Monday, August 11, 2008 sent to shop Posted in A Day in My Life Sunday Brent sent Abbey & I into town to get her birthday present - we were told James & him had mens work to do. Yesterday I was ever greatful to be in the female role. James & Brent dug holes, sorted out sewer pump - they have the pump out of the pit & waiting for the electrician to call Monday. Abbey & I had a wonderful mothers - daughter day out. - We went to kirkcaldies & Abbey learned to apply makeup from the professionals - the lady taught her how to apply it naturally & tastefully, got the right tones for her skin. The lady asked if there was anything Abbey wished to take today & was quite shocked by her reply - everything! Yes for her birthday Brent & I have kitted her out with makeup from clinique. We made wonderful memories yesterday & both enjoyed ourselves. I got a free lipstick out of it, I think the lady wanted to get hold of me & get me into makeup too. I like the natural naked look for me. But I have noticed I'm starting to look a tad older - gosh where have those years gone? Kirkcaldies is a store we have visited often - when little I took the kids there for an afternoon treat & would get a lovely book or small toy. We visited Santa at kirks for many years & have a photo of kids with Santa in the Christmas album. The personal service one receives is worth the little extra cost for special times. Oh and their toilets are every so clean a luxury if you are living without a sewer pump! This gal isn't into Laura Ingalls living of no Sewer. I don't enjoy a long drop nor emptying baths by hand. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments Monday, August 11, 2008 - Untitled Comment Posted by Citygal Hi Leanne, My mum is always telling me about Kirkcaldies and how she wants to take me - she lives 2 hours away from it though, and we never seem to have the time or the babysitters to go. It sounds a bit like Smith and Caughey's in Auckland - such a lovely place too. We have Ballentynes here in Chch and I take the kids every year to see Santa there - but I don't believe it's as nice as Kirkcaldies. Sounds like you both had such a nice day.
