Look what Robin did today !

She asked for earrings, but did not have her ears pierced yet. So I told her that if she got them done soon, they will heal in time for Christmas and she can ask for earrings then. She got very excited. So tonight we wen to the mall in Anderson and ..... voila!

Claire's would not do it without 2 sales representatives there. So we went to the Piercing Pagoda (one of the islands in the mall). That lady was VERY nice. She was a bit unsure about how Robin would behave (without additional reinforcements), but anyone who has seen her get hurt in public knows - she will NOT cry!

The woman told her "Turn your head and close your eyes real tight." And Robin followed directions VERY well. Wish I had a picture of this, but she asked to sit in my lap - how can a mom turn that down! NOT A FLINCH! She looked up at the lady and turned her head in the other direction. The girl is made of stone!Meanwhile...the boys were at the driving range and had plans to stop at the store afterward to get "that red drink and burp in the car on the way home" [per Nicholas]. Apparently this is a usual "guy-time" ritual.
