Mom was visiting
So my mom was here this weekend. I just saw her last weekend at my Aunt’s birthday party, but this time she was up to visit Dan and me. We picked her up Friday at the airport, well rental car return area at the airport but still, since she had driven down from her meeting in Delaware. We went to the outlet mall. Grabbed lunch and then went shopping. We bought Dan some new shoes, and new outfits for his business casual work place. It was nice and we found stuff on sale. We got him some slacks and shirts, though he will probably need a few more shirts eventually. We looked for a trench coat for Dan because he is going to be taking the subway and walking to work as part of his commute so a trench coat will come in handy on nasty days. We couldn’t find one though.
We bought me a few maternity clothes, one of the reasons she was visiting, and we bought the blob a bunch of neutral clothes since we don’t know if it is a boy or girl yet, I’m betting girl, my mom is betting boy, Dan is trying not to get involved in the arguement. We then stopped at Target and picked up more maternity clothes so I now have a decent sized maternity wardrobe for when I need it, and stopped and picked up dinner. Lots of shopping, but we did get a bunch of stuff which is nice.
Saturday we stopped by Home Depot to see what they had for closet organizers because we are planning to redo the baby’s, K-line’s and our closets. We also looked at bathroom pieces since we are planning to redo the upstairs bathroom as well. We priced a few things and continued on our journey. We stopped for lunch and then headed to Baby’s R Us. We looked at all the stuff they had, decided we liked the feel of one of the Graco stroller/travel systems better then one of the other ones. Looked at cribs. Bought more baby clothes (shocking as that may be), and bought the comforter/baby set for bedding. We couldn’t find 3 packages of the border we want for the baby’s room though. We found one, but not 3. So we figured we would order it online, silly thought, you can only get the border in the store. We also went to Ikea to check out the various things they have because we are changing around our entertainment centers, planning to get rid of both of them and get a simpler style for them, plus we need display somethings for all the collectables. We saw a few decent things that we may pick up later.
We then headed to Target to check out if they had any closet organizers (they didn’t) and home for a bit. After relaxing for awhile we went out to Melting Pot, which was as good as always though our waiter was really really slow. Overall a nice night though.
We then dropped my Mom off at the airport this morning and headed over to the Mall. We found a trenchcoat at Macy’s that we liked so we put a hold on it and checked a few other stores. We didn’t see anything else we liked as much so we headed back to Macy’s, we picked up a casual sportsjacket as well for Dan to wear over his stuff in the office. We then bought both pieces and had lunch.
After lunch was more Home Depot, but we forgot to measure so we weren’t sure what sizes we needed for the dryer vent or the closet top things. So we just headed home and relaxed. Overall a nice, busy weekend with my Mom.
And to think I get to see her again in two weekends for my cousin’s Christening.
