Busy Day

Henry and I were gone practically all day.

We had a two-hour service appointment at the Ford dealership to have the transmission fluid changed. (Is your car's fluid due for a change?)

Then we started to gather everything we need for Sam's wedding. Nick has a suit, it just needs to be picked up at Dillard's, but Henry and I had nothing. We both needed something navy to wear to the wedding, and Henry also needed white shoes to be blessed in.

After the Ford dealership we went to:

Finder's Keepers (Children's Clothing)
Toys R Us, thinking there was also a Babies R Us there, but there wasn't.
Marshall's (I'm also looking for a diaper bag)
Home Depot (herbs)
Walmart (lots of stuff to get)
Quik Trip
[South County Mall]
Payless Shoes
a children's formal wear store with a funny name
Macy's
JC Penneys

And another Marshall's. A couple friends have found great diaper bags there, but being there when they have any in stock is like winning the lotto.


I gave up on getting Henry a suit. It would look so cute if he matched Nick, but the smallest suit was far to long in the limbs for him. Instead, I got him a polo style onesie and khaki pants. As simple as this outfit sounds, it took forever to find and a long time for me to make up my mind.

I found a dress, but this Penney's didn't have it in my size, and it's out of stock online. So, tomorrow after I go to the doctor's and take the dog to the groomer, I'm going out to the West County mall to pick up the dress there. And I still need to get Nick's suit.

Henry did great all day, except for a total baby meltdown as I was checking out at JC Penney. He was screaming so hard he turned completely red. As soon as I was done checking out, he stopped crying.
