While Dada Is Away

Eric has been gone the past three days on a business trip. So while he was gone I decided to document how Everett and I passed the time. On Tuesday we stayed in all day. Everett loves to sit in this container and call it his "car."
We colored...or I mostly colored while Everett put the crayons in and out of the box.

By the afternoon I was going a bit stir crazy. I really am working on trying to relax because I know our lives will soon become chaotic once again. Note the Elmo in the background in the picture below. Elmo has become Everett's new best friend. He got an Elmo movie last week and I think he has watched it every day since. There is just something about Elmo and I can't resist when Everett asks for "Elmo Bovie."


On Tuesday night I made pasta for dinner. Everett is getting so good with using utensils. It was kind of funny us dining just the two of us. I told him we were on a special "date."


My plan was for us to get out on Wednesday morning. I was so disappointed when I saw it was snowing.....again. I barely slept the night before so I really was itching to get out. Instead we played inside all morning. After nap the snow had cleared and we headed out to my refuge, my happy place.....Target! I didn't really have anything I needed to get, so we had fun just roaming the aisles.
Everett isn't so sure about this new snack.....



A sweet lady who works here at Ridgecrest had given Everett a dollar, so we decided to buy a juice box.


Today was very fun. The weather was warm (43 degrees! ha!) so we went out again this morning. We went to Homegoods/TJ Maxx and found some very fun things. Everett even got a Sesame Street toy car as a special treat. We then went to Barnes and Noble to play with the "choo-choo" they have in the kids section.



We then went to Gymboree to pick out a layette for Hampton to wear home from the hospital. I haven't bought Hampton one thing this whole pregnancy, so that was really fun. Everett even said "Hanton" for the first time! Too cute!



We definitely missed Eric while he was gone. Everett has become very aware when he is away and many times would ask for "Dada." What a happy reunion it was tonight when he got home. He even brought a special treat...Jimmy Johns subs for dinner! We don't have one in our area so he picked some up on the way back today. He knows the way to this very pregnant girl's heart!
