Playing hooky.

With our babysitter still out of town, one of us had to stay home from work and hang with the ladybug. Since Daddy always has "Mondays with Lu" he needed to get to the office so it was Mommy's turn to call in "sick" (good thing I'm the employee and the boss!).

We started the day with a trip to Lulu's dance class where I got to observe the progress Lulu has been making with her ballet.  Such a lovely pointe!  After class we decided a little lunch was in order so we headed to a nabe fave - Peels - for some "spa eggs."  Very ladies who lunch!

My fabulous lunch companion.

After lunch we headed to the plant store to shop for a few beauties to repot on the rooftop garden.  On the way home, we agreed that a pitstop for popsicles was just the thing.  Once home, we threw on our bathing suits and headed straight for the roof to enjoy our frozen treats.  Lulu was especially fond of hers.  (What happened to the dainty, ladylike girl I had lunch with?)

After some gardening (and hosing off popsicle goo) it was time for some books and a nap (Mommies like naps too, by the way).  

If you have to play hooky, this is the way to do it.

We're quite fond of Lulu's rendition of this oldie but goodie.  Who knew there were diners in the sky?
