We had our annual girls outing again this year to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I've blogged about it before. I LOVE IT! New fall and winter stuff on sale while the summer stuff is on sale too. We had such a grand time. We did miss out on the Ann Arbor Art Fair this year, but we headed to Chicago for two nights to take in the city and take our time with the sales. Really, what isn't on sale these days? We did some damage, and had a great time. My sister is missing from the pic (she's taking it).
Back on the home front, I am so pleased to report that we have had a number of not just tolerable, but really enjoyable short trips to the mall. My son is a trooper, and at least for now will put his smile on and hop into the stroller. He waves and says "Hi" to folks in whatever store we're in. We took a break and tried out the play area at Woodland Mall this week (a first for him), and he was a hoot.
On the way home, we realized we were pushing him a bit much as lunch and nap time were a bit too close for comfort. It was grandma's idea to stop for some french fries. I must say as new parents, we quickly discovered (Bright too) the addictive qualities of french fries while we were on vacation as there are just so many kid meal options and lots of them come with fries. He loves knawing on those things, and this day was no different. The kid was in his glory. As we approached home, with greasy hands and greasy face his eye lids started to get heavy, but he didn't want to let go. For at least two minutes, his eyes were shut while he was chewing and tightly gripping the french fries. So wish I had a picture to share. I guess it was my son's first "Shop Til Ya Drop" experience.
