Busy Weekend

Well, I’m not sure what happened to the squirrel.  It did come out, we saw it run.  Paul figures it escaped because we didn’t hear it at night at all.  I sure hope so . . . I’d hate for it to run over my face as I’m sleeping!

James and I joined some friends to watch a volleyball tournament on Saturday.  James and his little buddy were dressed in team outfits, and of course drew lots of attention.  They had a great day.  Then we were off to the city to spend the night in a hotel, since Paul had a course.  It was nice, James and me even went to sleep at about 8:30.  He only woke up once at about 2, so that’s a HUGE improvement.  Hopefully it continues!

Today we did some major shppping, bought a sweet outfit for upcoming weddings and Thanksgiving too!  I can;t wait to dress him up in it, but he’s finally fallen asleep . . . yipee!

 

Wal Mart!

Oh my goodness, I used to HATE going to Wal Mart.  Our nearest is super busy, dirty and always out of whatever you went for.  I avoided it like the plague.  In fact, I preferred to wait until we went home (a 12 hour drive one-way) and pay sales tax there to fulfill my Wal Mart needs.

BUT

A brand new Supercentre has opened up in an even closer town and it is *spectacular*.   Shiny clean aisles!  Elbow room!  Grapes for $1.29!  Yougurt!  We drove to town just to go there, it was like a day out . . . James admired the ferns and played with toys (ok, watched me play) I stocked up on rice cereal and Red Peppers ($1.50/lb).  I may have to alter my menu plan to include the shiny smooth eggplant I got.  Mmmmmm.  Eggplant.
