This past weekend we started off with a short trip to Joplin on Thursday to take advantage of the annual sidewalk sale at one of our favorite boutiques: Lil Rascals. We got a cute dress for Aunt Brooke's wedding in December, Grandma B. sent money and we used it for the gown. We also got some adorable bows, and another perfect tutu...I love tutus! And a really cute linen white dress for next summer. After Lil Rascals, we went to a new boutique that Grandma H. told us to check out...Ambiance. It was super cute, and I can't wait to go back. At Lil Rascals you just looked around (I wore you in the front carrier) and you were pretty happy until the very end, at that point you just wanted to be out of the carrier so I could hold you facing forward and you could see from a different angle. So anyway, we went to the new place and I tried to just carry you, thinking we wouldn't be too interested in the shop. BUT it was so cute I had to take you out to the car to get your car seat and a bottle...you were asleep within seconds. Ok...this post will have to be finished later...you are in your horsey but you are getting fussy. Daddy is on vacation this week and our schedule is a little funky, so you are a little difficult to predict in the mood dept. :)
Ok I guess you are happy now just to watch t.v. from your horsey and I am going to keep typing for a couple more mins.
So Friday we spent the afternoon with Grandpa H. Daddy had a golf tournament and we needed some entertainment! Grandpa fixed us lunch and we hung out until Grandma got home from work, and Aunt Blair came out to play. We basically spent the evening laughing at you in your horsey and playing with you! We stayed up late watching t.v. with Grandpa and finally called it a night since we had decided to do something fun on Saturday with Grandma H. and Aunt Blair.
On Saturday morning we got up and went out to Grandma and Grandpa H.'s for our fun day. We decided to go to Branson...mainly to have a reason to dine at Lamberts. We drove, Aunt Blair rode in the back with you and you had a great time! Grandma rode up front with me. You slept almost the entire trip to Springfield. We stopped at a little shop called "Plato's Closet" so I could sell some of mommy and daddy's old clothes. After that, we headed to Branson. We went to the outlet mall and shopped at the many stores. The entire time, people were commenting on how cute you were! I had you in the front carrier and you loved looking around. At one of the shops I bought you a wide rimmed pink sun hat...it matched your outfit perfectly. If you got attention before the hat...you got 100 times more after :) You were pretty much too cute for words with your hat!
After shopping for a while we were all hot and you were snoozing in Grandma's arms...we decided to head to Lamberts! Once we got there, we had to wait 1hr 35 mins. to get a table...pretty typical. Anyway, you slept while we all read and reread the menu and talked. Finally you woke up and I nursed you while Grandma and Aunt Blair waited inside for our name to be called. Once we were inside you snoozed again for most of our meal. The waiters throw rolls...I was afraid a rogue roll would find its way into your carrier! Once you woke up you bounced on my lap while we all finished eating. You were pretty perfect! I wish I had gotten a picture of you with our waiter to commemorate your first trip to one of the greatest places in the world :)
On the way home we had to stop to change your panties and get you into jammies. It was pretty fun, Grandma held you and I changed your panties...in a parking lot! It was pretty comical, here we were trying to acrobatically change you and the stinking diaper velcro strap broke! Luckily we had an extra diaper...kind of, actually it had been on you and we changed you and it wasn't wet. So, we kept it just in case....turns out just in case happened :)
What a fun day!
