After the kids' afternoon naps, I usually try to run some errands before dinner. This crazy-haired, static-cling girl looked like this after I tried 3 times to wet her hair down. I thought to myself, forget it. She won't care. And off to run errands we went.
Last weekend there was a Duplo Lego party at Pottery Barn Kids. I figured you can't beat free so I signed N up to participate. It was quite comical because after about two minutes at the table, the kids realized they were surrounded by other types of toys they'd rather play with.
N immediately headed for the stroller. He loves anything he can push around. And I had to take some pictures because, well, let's just say I'm sure his daddy would be proud that he's in the pink room.
Then it was off to the kitchen. I'm hoping he'll become a great cook to take the load off of me.
Don't worry. We eventually made it over to the boys' side where he was at home with the cars and trains.
On one of my errands a sweet lady at the store handed the kids two balloons. Seriously made their day, and mine. The red one somehow became separated from the string and is now floating around our vaulted ceiling.
We passed a concert at the mall's outdoor pavilion. I chuckled to myself as they were playing 90's music. I couldn't help but want to sing along with Tom Petty's "Learning to fly." N thought it was very loud.
We've been doing quite a bit of chatting on Skype with daddy. N loves the fact that he can see himself make funny faces on the computer. Here they are singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" together. We're super excited to have him home IN PERSON tonight!
And what do you do in your home when the kids are done eating and hands need to be cleaned?
In case you're needing some music for your Thanksgiving feast...
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and family. We are so grateful to have you in our lives.
