A really good day.

I don't have any pictures to post of my day today, but I just have to say how happy I am to have spent the day with my BFFs, Charline and Brandon!  Riley got to have a day with Grandma Kathie, just in the nick of time since baby's coming soon, and I believe I am beginning to bore my wicked smart 3 year old.  I'm just not quite as exciting as 12 other 3 year olds, 2 teachers, centers, art projects, playgrounds, walks around Horizon High School...especially since it's like Africa hot!

Anyway, today we reinstated the annual Brandon and "Work Wife" (that's me) back to school shopping trip!  Laura asks me to take B shopping for work clothes because she hates shopping with him.  After a 2 year hiatus, we were excited to get going!  We picked up Char and our first stop was at Shane Co. to help B pick out an anniversary gift for Lovely Laura!  Then we had a yummy lunch, thanks B!

Truly, the point wasn't the shopping, although that was fun.  The point was having a fun day with my buddies.  I needed it!  Brandon had to drag Char and I away from the baby section at JC Penney, and we did talk B out of a hideous fluorescent green and blue striped dress shirt at Macy's, where we also offended a salesman with our disdain for the overabundance of white linen suits.  Seriously, who wears these?  Don Johnson? 

 There was also a run-in with a floral dress at Target that inspired Brandon to want to order tacos at Casa Bonita...not sure what that's about, but I do know that I laughed so hard I nearly peed. 

I sure am glad I have such amazing friends to be silly with!  The world needs silly these days.

This evening we had a nice little family outing to Target to get all the last-minute baby gear we needed and Riley's school supplies.  I know, suburban bliss, right?  Well, we finally feel "ready," and are getting more excited by the day!  We tested out the new monitors, set up the bouncy seat and CD player, and got all the diapers and wipes loaded up...just a week to go!
