Yesterday was a great day. In the morning I went Christmas shopping with Joshua at Walmart. We first headed to the back where the Christmas decorations and Christmas trees are all lit up. We found a tree for $30 and I think we might end up getting it. It is a little tree I think it only stands about 3 feet tall, but I would love to have a tree this year (this would be the first time in our marriage to have a tree) and I think Joshua would really enjoy it. We just never had the space before this year for one. Then after looking at the decorations I asked Joshua if he wanted to look at the toys so he could tell me what he wanted for Christmas, "yes!" he said.
While in the toy section the first thing he spotted was a 'little Einsteins' piano, he enjoyed playing that and listening to the music. After that we went down another isle and he was very impressed with the collection of Playdough things, he wanted to take some home right away. Right next to that was a large doodle pad, one for the magnetic pen to write on then you can clear the image away. He wanted to take it out and play with it right there, his tiny one recently broke so I am sure he would LOVE to get something like that. Then he found something I remember growing up with I cannot remember the name of it but you look through it and you can change the picture you see. He first saw a picture of Dora and thought that was pretty cool. Then we went down another isle and he saw 'cars racing' thing I don't remember the name of it I did right the names of all the toys down but I don't feel like finding the list. He imediately started saying "two, be, go!!" over and over again. I put it in the cart just so I could read what it was called and when I put it back he was very sad. It was so much fun going shopping with my son, I am very much looking forward to Christmas and Joshua is too now. When I got home I told Michael there was a Christmas tree at Walmart I thought we should get, Joshua started talking abot Christmas in a very excited way. It was cute.
After Walmart we bought some bread and went to LaBonte park to feed the ducks. Joshua thought this was very cool. There is also a play ground near by so he played for a while. Then we went home.
At 4pm we took the UW bus to the Union for Safe Treat. It was so much fun, but a lot of people were there. I was very glad we didn't bring our stroller, there wouldn't have been room to push it. At the second table there were two bowls of candy. I told Joshua to go up to the table and hold up his basket while he says candy please. So he did. Then he noticed there was another bowl right next to that so he held out his hand and said Candy please again. It was so funny every one was laughing. He got a ton of candy and most likely won't be eating much of it at all.
After the Safe Treat we came home and I realized I didn't have our camera any more. I attached it to my purse but it must have fallen off. I checked the bus and the house and it was no where to be found. I am hoping that someone turned it into the Union office so I can get it back. I had a lot of pictures on there from this morning at the park, and of Joshua on the way to Safe Treat on the bus , and a picture of him and I and of Michael and Joshua in his costume on the camera. Please pray it shows up, SOON.
Once we checked the bus for the camera we decided to check the Union in the morning, at that time there still would have been a ton of people there at Safe Treat. So we drove to Pizza Hut for some wonderful pizza and hot wings. I wasn't too impressed with the hot wings and we probably won't be getting those again in the future but the pizza was great. Where we sat right behind our table was a bucket of blocks and a cute little picnic table for kids. Joshua had fun playing until our food came and I had fun talking with Michael, it felt like we were on a date.
Well I would normaly post pictures of our trip to the park and Safe Treat now, hopefully I can find our camera so I can post pictures later.
