We had a wonderful day yesterday! We planned a trip to the temple and were so excited. However, when my alarm clock went off at 3:30 AM I thought I had only blinked, but it was time to get up. We had a nice drive and stopped half way for breakfast and a stretch.
I have the drooly kid.
His two front teeth have both cut through now!
Tony and I took turns watching Charlie while the other went in to do a session. During my turn, Charlie and I went to a little LDS bookstore and explored outside. I played photographer for a little bit...

Tornado sirens started going off so we hurried to get inside and be in the waiting room. Balancing on my high heels with my temple bag, diaper bag and Charlie was a little difficult. When I got into the temple the sweet temple sisters were saying things like, "is your little cutie just wearing you ragged?" "he must be a handful!" I thought that was a little odd until I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror: my hair had been pinned back with bobby pins but because of the wind my hair was sticking up all over the place. It looked like Charlie and I had got in a fight and he won. So funny.
On our way home we stopped half way for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. This is our new tradition, thanks Tony. After a 1:00 session we get there at 5:00-- just before the dinner rush. Blessings of going to the temple... kidding kidding :)
After dinner we weren't ready to get back in the car, so we walked around the mall in hopes of finding Charlie some shoes. A friend had passed along a pair of her son's old robeez sandals and Charlie just outgrew them. They were the BEST shoes. They have soft soles, are easy to put on, Charlie can't take them off and doesn't trip in them. We needed another pair. We found these and I could not leave without them...
Are those just the cutest things you have ever seen?! I start talking in a high baby voice whenever I see them. I can't help it!
We had a great trip!
