shopping trip=success!

Well, Kallie and I headed over to the mall today. I had a lot of things to pick up and it was so nice to have the day with just miss KG. She was a great shopper! First, we headed to Hobby Lobby- oh how I miss that store! I am so ready to move back to Texas. I am SOOOO going shopping there to decorate the house. Love that store (did I already mention that? :) Then we headed next door to a party store. I bought all of the luau gear for Kensley's party. I think it'll be fun.  I was going to rent a bounce house but I think I'll hold off this year for it. We'll probably do some small pools and slippin' slides. And big fans. I'm sure this Texas heat will be unbearable! We then headed over to Target. Oh how I miss that store too! That's where I go for groceries and everything else when we're at home- so we've had to settle for Wally world while visiting family. Just not the same- at all! So we went in Target and I ran an errand for my mom- then headed to the little girls' clothes. Oh goodness- I love me some Osh Kosh! I got the girls matching dresses to wear tomorrow. And I picked up some other "stuff". THEN we got to head to the mall! Woohoo! I ran into Gymboree because I have my gym bucks I need to use. They had NOTHING in the store- so I need to get online and order something. After looking in there for the girls, I made a promise to myself that I would NOT shop for the girls. The main point of this trip was to get to shop for ME. I left Kensley with my dad so I could get some "me" shopping done. Kallie didn't mind at all. I ended up getting 5 shirts! Woohoo! And I scored some really cute necklaces that were a part of a clearance- "going out of business" sale. So all in all, I had a very productive day!

I returned home to a little "almost" 2 year old yelling my name and giving me hugs- she's so sweet :) She got to go to her Nana & Grumpy's house for a bit and then came back to eat dinner and play with Mommy, Nonnie & Poppy. She wanted to go for a walk so my parents took her around the block. She would NOT come back in! She ended up out of her stroller and SHE wanted to push it around. She's so cute :)

And tonight.... Kallie, once again, had to have her MOMMA! I always have my parents try to put her to sleep but she is NOT having it. She cried the entire time I was in the shower. She fell asleep and I tried to put her down once but she was still awake and she turned from her belly to her back! So I got her back out for a bit and after playing a little, I tried again. When I laid her in her bed, she was still awake. She didn't fuss- she just talked a little. I decided to leave her alone and she ended up putting herself to sleep- go KG! I need to start doing that now. It would be nice to not have her completely asleep before I put her down.

Well, I have no pictures from today. I haven't taken much because my camera disc is almost full and I need to empty it. I may try to take some pictures for Kensley's birthday card tomorrow. I have an idea- just hope I can get it to work. And Kensley to cooperate. :) We also have family coming in from Colorado tomorrow. My mom's cousins. She doesn't see them very often at all- so she's excited. Especially since all her girls are here (including me!) We're usually not in town when they come in, so this is extra special to my mom. I'm looking forward to a fun day with family!
