1. Mr Bunches and Mr F all but moved into the Wal-Mart toy department. Saturday I took the Babies! with me to run some errands, including a stop by Wal-Mart for some shoes for Mr F. We swung by the toy department because they were behaving and had earned a reward, but once there, both of them acted as though they'd been turned loose in their own playroom. They were trying to ride tricycles, pulling out action figures to play with, sitting on the floor trying out toys, rolling cars and trucks up and down the aisles, and generally doing all kinds of things that I kept laughing at and encouraging up until other shoppers came by, at which point I'd adopt my stern Dad voice and say "Now, come on, boys, that's not appropriate. Let's behave," and then, once the people were gone, I went back to letting them play until I'd picked out their new toys for the day.2. Sweetie's Mango Drink on Saturday night was delicious and I wish I'd gotten one. Sweetie and I went out for a date night on Saturday, this time to Panera to have dessert and some drinks. I got the Strawberry Smoothie, accompanied by a cookie which I ordered before I noticed that they had French Toast Bagels, which I would have gotten if I'd known they existed. Sweetie got a mini Bundt cake and some kind of Mango Frozen drink that was great and made me regret my decision on drinks.
3. I finally got my subscription to the New Yorker magazine, thanks to Sweetie giving me a Kindle for a combined Christmas/Birthday present. Saturday night, I finished up the Malcolm Gladwell book I'd been reading, and got to order a new book on my Kindle -- and one of the things I ordered was a subscription to the New Yorker, so expect me to be much more erudite in the future...
... just as soon as I figure out what erudite means. (Some kind of frosting, I'm hoping.)
