A trip to Target

Monday is my errand day - so that's what we did. First, the post office. Then, Target. Target had 12-packs of coke on sale - 4/$1.00 plus you get a $5 gift card for buying four! We like to keep the fridge on our porch stocked with soda during the summer because we have friends over a lot. Unfortunately, they didn't have a SINGLE 12-pack of diet Coke with lime. So I still have to hit the market :(


Jack loves going shopping - Target, Walmart, the grocery store - anywhere! He doesn't mind riding around in a cart AT ALL and he rarely fusses to get out or go home. He's also really good about not begging for me to buy him things. I hear a lot of moms complain that they hate shopping with their kids because the kids don't like it - so I feel lucky that it's something Jack and I can really enjoy together. I have trained him well ;)

John leaves tomorrow morning for San Francisco. He's going with his friend, Joel, for Joel's birthday. I'm trying to think of fun things for Jack and I to do each day to make the week go by more quickly. Tomorrow we're going to see a movie. Wednesday Jack has Gymboree. Thursday I think my little cousin, Morgan, is staying with us. Saturday, Jack is spending the day and night with my mom while I go out with some friends Saturday night. And John gets home Sunday. So I just need to think of something fun to do on Friday. I'm sure I can come up with *something* :D

We just finished dinner (I made John's favorite - chicken parm) and we're going to go treat ourselves to some Dairy Queen ice cream. Yum!

BTW - the going to bed early thing is working, I think! I woke up on my own at 7:30 this morning instead of my usual 8:00! I'm shooting for 6:30am so hopefully I will gradually get there! :)
