We were busy ladies. We shopped. We ate. We played. We cheered.
On the way to Iowa we stopped half way at the usual McDonald's. Miss M loves condiments. I can't even describe to you the intensity of her love of condiments. I bought her a Happy Meal and they mistakenly gave her two kid sized fries. Mistake. She only ate the french fries (which is normal). She ate her fries with ketchup and when the fries were gone she proceeded to suck the remaining ketchup out.
She has also discovered recently that she likes candy. She sat in Grandma's high chair and snacked on a Kit-Kat.
Miss M loves playing in Ella's car. She doesn't even care that her chauffeur is in school all day. She insisted on getting in and out of the car until we made her go inside kicking and screaming.
During our shopping adventures Miss M ended up with a Hawkeye jersey. She didn't own any Hawkeye gear and since we were in Iowa on game day we had to have something appropriate to wear!
We did about a half hour of tailgating before we had to leave for other commitments!
Miss M didn't get a nap at the appropriate time on Saturday because we were on the go until 5:30 pretty much nonstop. We ended up going to Costco with Aunt Callie and the girls Saturday. Never go shopping with Aunt Callie when you're tired. We were at Costco for 2 hours. I swear that has to be a record for someone shopping at Costco. There was plenty purchased but still. 2 hours. It almost killed Miss M and myself. Miss M even wanted to lay down in the cart and I haven't ever seen her lay down anywhere besides her bed when she's put in it.
It was a fun weekend. We are moving to suburbia in December (date still TBD)!!! We are going to start the packing process in November, therefore, I foresee upcoming road trips just so we aren't living in an apartment full of boxes for Miss M to climb on and fall off of.
Whoa, which suburbia? Downers Grove perhaps?
