An accomplished day.

Today Lonnie (Dillon's Dad, Adrian's Papa, my future father in law, etc) took Adrian to work with him. He puts together radio shows for Kix Brooks' radio station, and Kix happened to be in today, so Adrian got to meet him. Not a bad way for a two year old to start the day.

As soon as the boys got home Adrian and I headed out for our day of errand running. We started off at PetSmart (when I told Adrian the name of the store he said "Joplin not smart she's a dumb dog".. ha!) We got her a new black collar ("because Mommy likes to wear black too"), a new teddybear chew toy which Adrian named Jellybean, some nail clippers, a new chewtoy bone thing, and a hotdog/cheeseburger combo. Spoiled? Of course, but hey, that's my style while she's a puppy.

We then headed to Party City to look for Halloween Costumes. 

Adrian: "Where we going now?"

Me: "Party City for look for Halloween Costumes."

Adrian: "WE GOING TO A PARTY!? I Looooove Parties. A Halleeween party?"

Me: "No baby it's not a real party, it's just the name of the store where we can look for costumes."

Adrian: "No party? But I love to party."

Me: "I know, it's just called Party City, sorry baby."

Adrian: "Oookkk."

We pull up to the store and there's a large Spiderman decal on the first window. He points out that he sees Spiderman, and that he's with his girlfriend. (The window next to it had a large Tinkerbell, whom everyone knows Spiderman is dating.) Out of all the costume photos on the wall, Adrian picks out his favorite, and we decide on our theme this year: Football! He's going to be a Football player, and I'm being a Cheerleader. Very cute, I got pompoms and a sweatsuit to wear with my blonde wig, he's costume included a felt helmet, Red Jersey, pants, tube socks, a mini football, and black under eye smudge marks. Last year we were a family of pirates. Can't wait to take him trick-or-treating!

We made a couple of other quick stops including one to Michael's craft store to buy felt letters and a glue gun so I can personalize the Jersey to say "NAPIER" across the back. Little touches go a long way! While I was there they had some huge sales on Fall-like decor, so instead of decorating for Halloween this year (esp considering we will be out trick-or-treating and not home handing out candy) I purchased two small little outdoor items that I think are perfect for Autumn.

Now we're home relaxing, almost time to cook Adrian's request of red pasta with grilled chicken. I really love every aspect of motherhood, it's so fun and rewarding!
