a day with nic

today nic and i had a nic and momma day, and it was a great time! we dropped linc off at the depot and took off for lafayette. our first stop was walmart for a few odds and ends, then we made a pit stop at mcdonald's for a little lunch. then we decided that we should probably go to target and get him an outfit for his 3 year pictures....3 years old already, can you believe it??? after target it was back to the west side to get the grocery shopping done. we had a great day, and nic even got to play outside at the depot for a little bit when we went to pick up linc. when we got home the power was out (never know what you might get on a windy day in benton county), so we played outside some more! this was way more fun than doing the laundry and other household chores that i had planned on doing!

the 1st pic is at our first stop...wally world! nic got some new thomas the train shoes that he is very excited about! the next two pix are at mcdonald's. we started out at a table, but we decided to move to the couch beside the big screen to finish our lunch. nic kept on asking me where the mote (remote) was, because he wanted to watch cartoons : )

1st pic is in the target parking lot after we got his outfit for pictures, he is also showing off his new spiderman toy that he got in his happy meal. the next two are at payless. he had to have the blue car, so i had to dig it out from behind the orange and green ones...i told him if he was a good boy that he could get some m & m's when we were checking out. apparently he decided that taking a little siesta was the best way to keep himself out of trouble : )



by the time we got to the truck he was completely slouched over...it didn't look very comfy, but he was still sleeping like a champ! i stuck to my word, and when we got home i gave him some

m & m's while i put away the groceries. we had a great time and it was good to spend some one on one time with my big boy. he was quite the trooper while i dragged him around all over the place : ) i look forward to our next mom and nic outing!
