We're busy. I think it's actually the DVD players fault. And also we've had several visitors.
Last night we went to The Best Western for supper. Maybe you don't imagine The Best Western as a classy joint but when it's an international chain it is. It was very nice and the buffet was wonderful. It supposedly had an Italian theme but the Italian food I tried was not the best stuff there. The best dish was diced potatoes with onion and bacon. It was a little spicy and just really great. Also the bread pudding was delicious. Not only was the food great but Maddie had a highchair. We always take the stroller or baby backpack with us to restaurants because there are never highchairs. We had our stroller with us but when we arrived the staff had already put a highchair at the table. It was really big and plush. I think Maddie liked being up at the table with everyone and she had just as much fun throwing almost every bit of food we gave her on the floor. She did eat bread. All that good food and she eats bread.
The weather has been really nice. Warmer than I'd like for November but it's not too hot and the sky has been blue. Madeleine and I have spent a lot of time outside walkiing around. She loves walking. She gets so excited when I put her down to walk that she flaps her arms and makes really cute screeching noises. The problem is that she wants to stop and pick up everything she sees (cigeratte butts, tissues, old food, candy wrappers, leaves -which are okay). So we walk for awhile and then carry for awhile and then walk and then carry....
A few days ago we played at the playgroud that's in a park beside the river. There were a lot of other kids there and so we were getting a lot of attention. Maddie was okay with it so so was I. This little boy who was probably 3 fell in love. He kept holding Maddie's hand as she walked and he got so excited one time that he ran up to her and accidently knocked her over. She fell on him so no one cried. She took the best nap after that outing.
Everyone's been invited to the birthday party next Friday. All packages from the States have arrived that we know of. Now, I need to get her a gift. I don't really need to but I want to. I'd love to find her a play shopping cart. I think she'd really like pushing it around but I have no idea where I'd find that. Well, that's not true...I know some of the malls have toy stores so I could look there.
I could always just take one from the grocery store. I'm sure she'd love pulling all the gunk off the tires. She won't eat food from The Best Western but I bet she'd stick tire junk in her mouth.
