2 Girls Day Out's in a month?!?!

I had a pretty fun day today without kids! 

My friend, Dawn, brought her sweet Sophie, and she was an absolute doll the entire time!

I was at Dawn's at 9, got to admire her beautiful house - seriously, its amazing, then we were off.

We drove to Tradesmart to pick up Group Numbers for a little book signing that was happening today.

Then we went to Ikea. This was my first time at the Denver Ikea.

I found a few neat items, and then we went to Q'doba for lunch.

We got back to Tradesmart at around 2, the signing was at 4. 

It was very unorganized, but - it was what it was. 

Dawn and I were numbered #50 and #51.

There were TONS of people there. 

We were in the 2nd ROW!

I am so glad we got there early.

The author got up, and was so cute...

 

You may recognize her.  She is sort of popular. :)

It was Ree Drummond, Pioneer Woman!!!!!

We got to meet her in the flesh!

She was so nice and talked to each and every person.

 She shared a moment with sweet Sophie.

She signed my cookbooks, and told me how lucky I was to have 3, YES 3, redheads.

I had to agree. 

We also shared a laugh about a common allergy, bananas.

 :)

I got a quick picture, and then we left.

I was gone ALL day and it was glorious!

The kids missed me, and wanted to hear all about my day.

They had a lot to tell me too!

They got to do several things with Nathan, including bike riding, park playing and a touch of the vomits!

Horray!

It was a fun day and I am so glad I didn't go by myself.

Who else would have believed this...

A serenade to Charlie, her dog. Hahahahaha.
