We had a nice weekend. Saturday, after baking pumpkin brownies (as previously posted) and eating way too much bacon (the real thing this time), we decided to check out The Avenue in Murfreesboro (a big shopping area, kind of like an outdoor outlet mall except the stores are not outlets). We went to several children's clothing stores (we bought Ellen a few things at Osh Kosh but that was the extent of the damage done), ate lunch at Culvers (for the first time) and then hit up Old Navy, Hallmark, Barnes & Noble and World Market. Ellen kept saying, "Let's do one more fun thing." She did not want to leave, even after 5 hours of shopping and walking around (I can't blame her, it was a beautiful day and we were having a lot of fun). She crashed on the way back but Phillip still managed to get her to take a nap when we got home, which does not happen very often when she falls asleep in the car. That late afternoon nap meant she woke up at dinnertime and didn't go to bed until almost 10:00. I figured the late night coupled with the time change might cause her to sleep in Sunday morning... wrong! Ellen was in our room at 5:00 requesting breakfast and a show. We met Kendra for lunch on Sunday and then despite having a million things on our "To Do" list, we all three took a long nap. We did manage to make a quick trip to the grocery store and do a few loads of laundry before it was all said and done but the house is still a mess and really needs to be cleaned. I know what I will be doing on my day off this week.
Thinking back, it really was a good weekend. Monday always comes way too fast.
