Just a Good Monday

Finley and I had a good Monday today.  We met my friend Jessica and her daughter, Bree, who is 9 weeks old at East Towne for a walk and lunch.  Okay, we also did some shopping!  With the incredibly crappy weather upon us the only good place to stroll around is the mall.  The great deals on things (like baby clothes!) did catch our attention to shop.  I must say lunch with two babies in a food court is also much less intimidating because if one of the babies was to melt down no one could hear it anyway. Finley enjoyed the time doing his favorite thing… being in the Bjorn walking around looking at new things.  He even tired himself out doing this and actually took a little nap in his stroller.  After Jessica and I ran through Ashley Furniture I did a few more errands until Finley couldn’t possible handle anymore and we headed home.  We are getting some snow at the moment…I think a few inches at least and then they are calling for Arctic temperatures for the rest of the week.  Basically below zero degrees and even colder wind chills.  I plan on staying in with Finley and doing some organizing and cleaning around the house the rest of the week.  We geared up at Super Target on Sunday to make sure we had all we needed to stay in for a few days- why go out in that cold if you don’t have too?  Especially with a baby!  All in all it was a good Monday, hopefully a smooth week is ahead. We miss Nate a lot but are trying to make the most of things and hanging out with good friends always helps!!
