The Monday after watching the Marathon was Columbus Day and as on most holidays or around them, the thrift store had their half off everything sale...we desperately need pants for our growing big girl L so we attempted the store...we survived but I was in there probably a record short amount of time since it was so busy and I had a full cart of carseat and preschooler, or if the preschooler was walking (which she did most of the trip) it was quite hard to keep up and keep an eye on her among all the people. 50% off days are CRAZY! But we did go home with some pants, shirts and Halloween stuff! We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for a lunchdate.
Tuesday I contemplated going to the Mall of America for their toddler Tuesday event but chickened out on doing that alone with the two. If I had a carried I liked for Harper maybe I would have or if we had a double stroller but we dont, so then if Linnea decides to be done walking I would be in quite the pickle! Or if we needed to leave quickly it would also be a challenge. SO I asked L if she wanted to go anywhere and she said no, she just wanted to stay home. So we did. and we did it in our jammies and had so much fun! I got a pile of dishes done while Linnea worked on some art on the kitchen floor and Harper slept in her bouncy seat. I just gave L some supplies and let her go at it...she ended up making a sparkly ghost on a paper plate. We also had "pumpkin" PB sandwiches for lunch. We did get dressed after supper to go to the Choo Choo Park with the neighbors for a bit.
Wednesday we stuck with our routine of the preschool storytime at the RedBalloon Bookshop.
That's Linnea above in the pink holding onto one of the many puppets at the shop that she is OBSESSED with! She plays with them for like a half hour after each storytime!
Thursday I had a nice early morning reading and snuggle time with Harper but then needed to get up because we had registered ourselves for a free MacPhail Music Sing Play and Learn event at the library. We have gone to these before and Linnea just LOVES them. Her face lights up at the songs and dancing and parachute play they do!
There she is in the purple. She picked her outfit out all by herself..purple dress and purple pants. She did not care one bit the patterns were completely different!
