Staying Busy, Having Fun

Thursday night we got some depressing news regarding some unfortunate things to come this week. So, this weekend I've been trying to keep busy and have as much fun as possible. Friday morning we met our friend, Nicolette, and her playgroup at Nations of Fun. We bad a blast! Nations of Fun is the new pizza place in town. It has arcade games, a mini carousel, and a GINORMOUS indoor play structure (similar to the one at McDonalds but WAY bigger and cleaner). I climbed inside with Kylee and Clarissa, and we had the best time chasing each other through the tunnels. At the top of the structure, there is a maze of mini punching bags. Kylee immediately recognized them as such. She ran up to each one, smiled, kicked the bag, and screamed "Hi-yaahh!" It was so cute/funny! She is definitely daddy's little girl!
When we got home, her week squeaks (shoes that squeak when you walk) were there. When she woke up from nap (she fell asleep on the way home from the pizza place), I put them on her. She LOVES them! She spent forever running, bouncing, and spinning around the living room - giggling the whole time!
This morning (Saturday), Robert and I took Kylee to K-Mart in search of an easel. Kylee had a blast squeaking around the toy aisles in her new shoes. We didn't find an easel, but we did come home with new sippy cups, some finger paint, a dress to match Kylee's new shoes, and a stroller for her baby doll. Kylee fell asleep in the car on the way home (woo-hoo!).
When she woke up from her nap, we went to the mall with grandma. We both had a good time. I got a double fudge cookie and some much needed retail therapy. Kylee got 2 new outfits for herself, and one for her friend Meadow whose birthday party is coming up in a couple weeks.
Right now I am updating this post from bed, which I can now do, because Robert surprised me with a new mini laptop! yay for surprises!!
