A Day with Meme

Nathan spent the day with his two favorite girls this past Saturday... Mommy & Meme. It was a day filled with food & shopping. How much better can it get? (OK, Daddy could have been there, and then it would have been perfect, but this is a post about a day with Meme. Anyway...)

Mom picked us up around 9:30 and we headed to breakfast at Thumb's Up. I love that place. As we were walking down the street we joined Joe & Joan as they walked to Thumb's Up, and so we decided to share a booth. As always, we enjoyed the food & conversation.

A local yard sale seemed promising (Mom's in the market for an activity mat for Peanut), so we headed down the street to the sale. While it might have advertised what we were looking for, it did not deliver goods worth buying. Oh well.

After a quick pit stop at home to feed Nathan, we headed to Phipps Plaza. We shopped at the cutest (& expensive) children's clothing store (Jaine & Jack), and Mom bought Nathan the most adorable overall outfit. It has pirates & parrots on it. Adorable! We picked up a few more things for Nathan... daycare outfits & stuff for when he's older. The boy's closet & drawers have more clothes than mine & Todd's combined!!

Mom & I enjoyed pizza & a salad at the mall, and then we continued with our shopping. I picked up Nikki's birthday gift (which she LOVED) and Jennifer's birthday gift (which she is going to love), I got a few bras & panties, & Mom got a gift from Peanut for spending the day with us. He's thoughtful like that.

After leaving Phipps, we headed across the street to Lenox Mall. I had some returns to make and a gift card to spend. I found a cute pair of Robeez shoes for Peanut at Baby Gap, so I just had to spend that gift card. I'll have to show Ms. Mona what her gift card bought the sweet boy. I'm sure she'll get a kick out of seeing him in the puppy shoes!

We finished our day with dinner at a fundraiser for Nathan's school. Several of the local restaurants and eateries offered tastes of their dishes with the proceeds benefitting his school. I think the school raised $18,000.00; not bad for a first annual event. There was music, which Nathan loved, and lots of balloons, which Nathan loved even more.

Our long day ended with a "bottle, book & bed" for Nathan and a slice of carrot cake for Mom & me.
