The day started off slowly. It's the weekend so Pat let me sleep in and spent some quality father/son time with Ryder. Boy did I need the sleep.We hung around the house til about 3pm and then we went to the NEW...the BIG one. I brought the sling to put Ryder in because he absolutely loves it...yesterday we took a walk and he ended up taking a 3 hour nap in it. That's right...I wore my baby for 3.5 hours yesterday haha

Anyway...I digress...We walked in the home store-basically a large Wal-Mart with no taxes. We walked through the garden section. I'm looking for some ideas on what I can put in my "back yard". It's not much of a yard...mostly just a slab of concrete between our house and garage with mulch on either side. Regardless, it needs a few flowers/trees/plants to "spruce" it up (HAHA get it?) Pat and I also looked at some grills. I'm a believer in propane. I love that you can't taste what your cooking with. Pat is a charcoal user...we can't afford one right now so it doesn't really matter. But when we have some money saved I'm sure there will be a discussion had about what kind to get...we'll see what happens. There isn't really any room on our "back slab" to put a grill right now, either.
After that area, we went to the other NEX...which is like a big department store. Pat was looking for some beach chairs or lawn chairs that we could take to the pool with us. We got to the sporting goods right as an old man got the last 2 chairs...oh well...we don't really need to spend money on THOSE either. We walked around electronics (I want a Nikon D5100 and Pat wants a HUGE HD tv...neither of which we got haha) Still, it was fun to look at them. We did end up getting an "As Seen on TV" version of Gold's Gym at Home Circuit Training...Pat says he's going to use it. I decided to be honest and say I probably wouldn't haha. (Why work out when LIPO is easier? haha)

On the way home we stopped at In N Out Burger to see what all the fuss is about over them. I got a cheeseburger...it was alright. Definitely better than McDonald's but I'm a bigger fan of 5Guys. Their fries were not very good...but then again, I'm becoming less and less of a fry fan as I get older. Or maybe being pregnant has just changed my appettite.
We came home afterwards and ate and Pat settled down to play COD. I got ready and took Baby Bear to Babies R Us. I had a gift card from Michael and Kadie (THANK YOU!!!) and some coupons for Pampers limited edition prints. Little did I know about the amazing sale that was goind on. ALL of their Fischer Price toys for infants (birth to 24 months) were--get this-- BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!!!!!!!!! I had hit the jackpot. The sale was Friday and Saturday only so it was slim pickings by the time I got there but I was still able to find some SWEET DEALS. I got Ryder a little piano mat to put in his crib when he gets a little older AND a "Tummy Time Mat". I'm in love with it. It has a little mirror and a little ball you roll to play noises as well as some clip on toys. Ryder likes the colors but he is still a little young to figure out how to roll a ball AND make the association of that to the music that plays. Still, it's fun for me:)
