I woke up extra early, and got ready for the day… Today is Thade’s first day of Tot Lot Day Camp, and I’m one nervous Mommy. I know that he will have fun, and it is only an hour and a half, but I’m so stressed out about it… It is crazy to think just how quickly the time has flown by, and now my little guy is on his way to a big kid event (without Mommy)! Wish me luck, I’m more nervous than Thade 😉

Ice Cream at Your Door
Yesterday Dylan was finally down for his afternoon nap, and I was making the mad dash to get all of my afternoon chores accomplished. Thade was in the living room and he said that he could hear pretty music, I quickly realized that the pretty music was the Ice Cream Truck 🙂 Thade and I ran to the front door and the Ice Cream Truck was parked right behind my car, so I picked him up and we headed outside.
Thade was thrilled with the unexpected treat 🙂 I had to pick up a Bomb Pop for James and me too. I took a little break from the chores, and enjoyed the ice cream.
Do you have a favorite Ice Cream Truck Treat?
Finally, A New Movie That I Want To See
So are you going to go and see the Sex and the City movie this Friday? I kinda want to go and see it, but I’ll have to drive an hour and a half to catch it. I was a really big fan of the series, and the movie looks so good. I would love to see all of the beautiful costumes and those fabulous shoes!
So if you are a fan of the series which character do you resemble the most? How I wish I was more like Carrie, but just ask my hubby, I’m totally Charlotte 🙂
Our Trip To Grandma’s
Yesterday was my Mother in laws birthday, and I was planning on taking the boy’s to visit her. She had a few places in mind to take the boys, and I had a few errands to run while I was in town too. We both decided to meet at Payless Shoes and do a little shopping. Thade found a pair of Transformers tennis shoes, and I picked up a pair of Summer shoes for Dylan. It was buy one get one half off after all 😉
After the shoe shopping it was getting pretty close to lunchtime and both boys were hungry. The birthday girl suggested Chili’s and that sounded great to me too. We ordered Chips and Salsa to munch on while we waited for lunch, and Thade happily colored on his kids menu munching away on chips. Lunch gave us plenty of time to catch up on all of the gossip, and I ate way too much tasty Margarita Chicken 🙂
We then headed to Grandma’s house, so I could change Dylan and get Thade ready to go to the park. Thade was so anxious to get to the park, he just couldn’t wait. Grandma had a great plan to head over to Lincoln Park and visit Kiddieland, a mini-amusement park just for kids.
We were all excited to go and visit, this was my first time there too. Grandma got a few tickets for Thade and we were ready to go and have fun!
Thade was a little nervous at first, it was his first trip to an amusement park, and he wasn’t too sure about the rides. He got a little bit of courage (and a Ring Pop) and he was ready to ride the boats. After the boats, he was ready to ride every single ride in the park 🙂
The park even has a Train that you can ride, and it was Dylan’s favorite. It is a small train that takes you all around the park, and it was so much fun we rode it twice 🙂
Dylan had so much fun riding the train, and waving at everybody as we went by. Thade thought the train was a little loud…
We all had a great time at the park and Thade is ready to go back and visit again soon. Kiddieland even has a Roller Coaster and a Small Ferris Wheel to ride too!
It was a fun trip to Grandma’s, and I think that she had a great time too 🙂
