4/28/12

Today was a pretty low key Saturday. It was just what we've been needing - a nice, quiet, family day. I forced Christian to get up with the girls so I could get a little extra time in bed. Even though I wasn't actually sleeping, it was nice to just rest and not have to jump right out of bed. We spent the morning just hanging out - breakfast, some play time. The usual. The girls were pretty well behaved, so it was a fairly peaceful morning.

While the girls napped, Christian and I just hung out watching TV movies for a while, and doing a whole lotta nothing. He actually ended up falling asleep as well - so yes, very lazy day for us.

We finally got our butts in gear when the girls woke up. We all got cleaned up and dressed, and off we went. First up, we stopped into T-Mobile because I am in the market for a new phone. My phone isn't horrible, but it's started dropping calls a lot, and randomly shuts off. I'm eligible for a full upgrade, and I've REALLY wanted to splurge on a smartphone for a long time. So, we stopped in to check out the phones and start thinking about it. Christian is definitely jealous that I'll be getting a new phone - but I figure, he gets a trip to Mexico, I get a new phone. LOL.

After playing with the phones for a bit, we were off to Famous Footwear. Yesterday, poor Amelia came walking over to me, pointing at her feet. She had a bunch of random little blisters, and one HUGE blister on one of her big toes. I felt so horrible - knowing her shoes must be too tight for her. Now that they wear their shoes all day at school, we definitely need to pay closer attention. They had a lot of great sales going on, so we ended up getting her and Olivia a "nice" pair of tennis shoes, and getting Amelia a pair of "school" shoes, since I'm sure those will be as dirty and gross as Olivia's are soon enough.

Next up, we stopped into Applebee's for dinner. The girls LOVE eating out, and it' nice to get out to eat once in a while. They have some new weight watchers endorsed meals, and I tried a creamy parmesan chicken meal that was actually pretty good. I did indulge in a Mojito as well. YUM

Finally, we were on our way home. The girls took a bath, and we hung out for a little bit relaxing. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you as soon as the girls were in bed, and asleep...Christian and I both passed out on the couch. Literally - 9:30PM and we were LONG gone. I swear, we get more pathetic by the week! LOL

The girls found Christian's stash of hats this morning and tried them out. Very serious little misfits...
