Project 857- July 25

This was a random cloudy/rainy Saturday...

We had no plans so we ended up having a pretty lazy day.

I got to go shopping and use some gift cards I had from my birthday (yes, almost 6 months ago!!) so while I was off looking for jeans to fit my still-post-baby-body... Daddy and the boys were having fun at home.

We are not sure about Owen yet since he just throws books around and can't be bothered to sit and look at them...but Austin is quite a little book lover! Reading stories is one of his favorite things to do.

Owen, like usual, was busy and up to no good. The naughty in that kid is off the charts sometimes... so he tried to climb in the tub because to him, anytime is bath time. He loves the water so he gets mad if the tub is empty and we don't let him in. A lot of times we plunk him in the empty tub and just let him play around in there.

After stories Austin set off to clean things. He looked high and low and in all the cracks and crevices and found.. lots of dust!! Ha.

I got home from shopping with two new pairs of jeans (yeah!) and we faced the dilemma of "It's noon.. what do we do for the rest of the day???" so we decided to go to IKEA.

The offer we placed on our new house had been accepted the day before so we thought we'd go to IKEA just to get an idea of what kinds of things we might need. I'm REALLY want a wall mounted medicine cabinet (oh, the things that excite you when you are an adult!!) so we looked at those, and entertainment centers and rugs.

Austin found a bin of cute stuffed mice and asked if he could have one. They were $1 each so absolutely! He picked the only white mouse in the bin and instantly fell in love.

He named the mouse WhoZoo. Yeah, I don't know where he got that name either.. but WhoZoo is now his little BFF. He eats dinner with us, travels with us, performs acrobatics in Austin's bed when Austin should be sleeping... and a few times Austin has come into our room crying in the middle of the night because WhoZoo has gotten buried under the covers and he can't find him.

Oh WhoZoo, you rascal!

We ended the trip with frozen yogurt (how can you not??) and Owen got his first taste!! Austin was very critical of the way Owen was eating the frozen yogurt and made it clear that little brother was not allowed to share his frozen yogurt.. that all bites had to come from Daddy or me.

We went home and had a movie night and relaxed... so it was a pretty good lazy Saturday!
