Family Day

Today was a great day. We were able to spend all day together, just having a good time.

We started with some games around the house. then it was off to McDonald's for lunch. Nathan got a Little People's firetruck in his kids meal. (plus a bonus CD, thanks to the nice lady behind the counter who went and found one for us int he back). Then it was off to Family to try to find the new Andrew Peterson CD. Now, you have to remember that I used to work at a Family store, so I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. But today, ah man it was hard to understand. The new CD came out on Tuesday (read, street date - the first day you can buy it in the store) and so we thought for sure it would be there. Amy asks one of the associates and she says that they have some, but must not have put them out yet. WHAT? That is why the call it a "release date" So, we looked at other stores and couldn't find it anywhere else, either. I guess we'll just have to go back and get it once they put it out on the shelf.

Then to Target, nothing special about that trip. Well, nothing except Nathan fell asleep in the cart. It was great! I will add pictures tomorrow. Then it was off to Borders to find a book on Toddler games. Found it.

We went and picked up our friend's dog Belle. She stayed the day at the house. Nathan slept all the way through this. We were even able to get part way to the mall before he woke up.

The mall was great. Nathan got to see lawnmowers and vacuums and dogs. He had a blast. Amy and I had a great time just walking around and spending time together. (We didn't even talk about church stuff - it was great)

Tonight, Nathan and I learned a new game. He sits on his couch and I pick him up and carry him around. (It's not much of a game for me, but he thinks it is great) He also discovered belly buttons. Somehow he can be entertained for so long by just poking belly buttons.

It was a great day, but it has to come to an end. Plus I get to get up tomorrow at 5:30am (man, that's too early)
