Nev's day on an Indian Summer

It's not very often that Nev gets her own day. A day to shine and just be herself.

Wednesday night her friend, that she met recently from homeschooling, came to stay with us while her mom was away at the hospital, with that came a perfect opportunity for a "Nev day", and so we claimed Thursday for our very own.

Thursday morning we up and tucked those thoughts of school lessons away as far as we could.
The only lessons to be learned today are how being a friend, and laughing together without a care in the world can be so good for the soul.  Some people call it "playing hookie" but that's just their opinion.

I called a babysitter and we set out on our trek together, just us three, destination....Justice & a Ghost hunt. But, not before filling our bellies full of good food over nice conversation in which consisted of very important things, such as Ghost hunting and the Brady Bunch. These girls know their stuff!

Once we we're in Justice, the smiles on the girls faces lit up the whole store, and even grasped the attention of the people inside by the true happiness in their hearts. What fun it is to try on the cutest of clothes with your dearest friend. They owned the store.

 After choosing each a outfit to match their personalities, they wore them right out of the store as if late for a very important date, and a very important date it was. Even the clerk asked if we were going somewhere special, and I said yes we are, we're going to a cemetery. What she thought of us after that....well, is none of our business, but the look on her face spoke a thousand words.

We ended up in a small forgotten cemetery on the way home where the girls posed for a photo shoot in their new clothes. The weather was on our side that day and was up in the 60's! What a splendid way to spend an Indian Summer.

 A Indian Summer with the two happiest girls in all the lands, fully equipped with best friend necklaces, as pretty as you please.

We didn't happen to come across any ghosts that day, but at least we were full of spirits, and that in my opinion, is all that matters.
