Yesterday afternoon Lily decided to only nap for about an hour and a half (instead of the solid 3 hour naps she has been taking lately). So she was slightly volatile and not very cooperative yesterday afternoon. I knew that we had to get out and mix it up some or it was going to be a very long evening. . . So we went shopping! I had been checking out this cute coat at Gymboree and I received $25 "Gymbucks" from our Gymboree class, so I knew if I wanted to get it I better do so by Sunday so I can take advantage of the $25 off! So we went to the new outdoor shopping center that is literally exactly one mile from home. It is so cute there -- they have so many nice restaurants (someday maybe we'll try them) and good stores too! It just opened at the beginning of the summer and new stores are opening all the time, you can tell they still have some more to do, but it is coming along nicely! Of course Gymboree was sold out of the coat in 2T (figures!), but it was still a nice excursion. The weather was perfect and I think Lily appreciated getting out! The best part was browsing at Borders. We went to the kids section and she was getting all excited pointing out all the books she has, "Dada! Elmo! Bunnies! Night Night!" At first I was wondering what she was screaming about and then I saw the Daddy Hugs book that she has as well as the Elmo book, Little Bunny's Bedtime and Goodnight Moon! It was cute. I found some other books that I will probably go back and get for Christmas or birthday gifts!! It is almost that time!! Here are some quick pictures I took while we were out:
There is a stream running through the shopping area. . . . it kinda reminds me of The Grove in LA.
Lily and the Pig (she is eating a pancake, Lily that is!)
They had this awesome outdoor sitting area by this huge fireplace! Looked so cozy!
Chip also asked that I send out a "press release" on his behalf. He has been overwhelmed with all the thoughtful calls from all his friends (and I got in trouble for blogging about his trip to the ER -- even though I asked permission from him first!). While he loves you all and is grateful for your concern, he hates the attention. :) He promises that he is OK and he will call you soon! I was stoaked that so many of Chip's friends read my blog! I don't even think most of my friends read it! :)
