Home alone

Max with Maggie (the neighbor dog)

He discovered that his new "ride" is not so scary afterall! Weeeeee!

Uh oh...busted w/ that thumb again! :)

The boys and I are home alone today and tomorrow.



Brad is in Mankato training in our new Manager and I'll be going down on Thursday for a few marketing meetings and to finish training.



Today Max "helped" me clean. The house has been driving me nuts and it's easiest to clean with Brad is not around. Go figure. :) Anyways, I got a lot done and just have a few more rooms to do upstairs and need to catch up on my laundry.



We went to Marshalls to look for some new jammies for Max. He's been sleeping in 18mo jammies and he's busting out of the toes in them! Marshalls is NOT a family friendly store at all. The carts are so small that I'm surprised they even have a spot to sit a toddler in the front. I had to put Max in the front seat and then put the carrier (with Miles in it) sideways and in order to make it fit...I had to push Max's seat up a little. Totally rediculous. And naturally since the cart wasn't meant to be used like that...I had to push the cart, while holding on to the carrier just to make sure it didn't topple over. UGH. And apparently they don't like you to have the convenience of being able to push your purchases in the cart when you leave the building because there were no spots to put your carts in the parking lot. By the time I got through the double doors with the crazy cart, while holding on to my purse, my purchases, and the damn carrier and noticed there was no area to place my cart when I was done...I had had it. So, I just left the cart in the parking lot. Bad Mama...but heck...they sure don't make it easy for a mama to spend money there!



Poor Max was nodding off as we drove home and could not keep his eyes open. Why? you ask? Is it because I took them out shopping during nap time? Nope...we went 2 hours early because Miles decided to only nap for an hour for his am nap. Was it because the drive home was sooo long? Nope...we only live about 3 miles away from Marshalls. Um...it would be because Monkey boy decided that he was going to wake up at 5:30am this morning! Aaaargh! Mean Mama made him take a nap as soon as we got home...under a little protesting, but both of the silly boys are napping soundly right now.

Guess I'd better get something to eat for lunch really quick since I have a brief opportunity to eat in peace for once. :)



Gotta love being a mama...it's the best job! Even if lunch time is chaotic and usually involves having to watch Handy Manny! ;)
