Today was one of those days that I treasured being a mom. We got up, ate pancakes and hurried out the door to see "Chipmunks 2". We are always in a rush, which I need to work on. We shared two seats between the four of us which was kind of fun and cozy. The lady next to me probably didn't think so with me nursing, shooshing Tyler and finding room for another child on my lap at all times. It was a great family show and we all love the $1 movies!!
Afterwards we decided to walk to our errands. Of course the registry wasn't working for our wedding gifts, but we did find cool spiderman light up shoes that my kids LOVE. Do you ever wish your child chooses the fashionable shoes that match things and don't have the action figures on them? It went through my head for a second and I quickly answered no. I love that they laugh in the movie where only a child would laugh, love clothes based on who is on it, not what it looks like, and are able to enjoy the innocence of childhood. They aren't allowed to watch spiderman, so I am glad they get to enjoy him on their shoes.
We ate lunch with my mom and walked back to our car down the cute streets of Walnut Creek. Downtown is so wonderful. I need to leave the car behind more often. It is such great quality family time with no distractions. Instead of going home, we hung out on a hidden walkway with benches and tropical plants and I felt like I was on vacation in Mexico. It was great!! So great we probably stayed for 1.5 hours. Scott did a workbook, Tyler drove cars, I sang to Kira and we relaxed and enjoyed each other. It is days like this that I will forever treasure. I love my three kids and feel so blessed that I get to stay home with them!!
