Mama-Daughter night

Well with DH & MIL out, I decided E & I would have a little fun trip into Bayers Lake. Everytime we leave daycare, just about, she asks to go "that way" (right) but you have to go left to get home. So, yesterday she was extremely giddy to go right into BL with the promise of McD's (which she calls Old MacDonalds). The deal was we would shop for boots afterward. Once she realized McD's was the reward for boot shopping, she quickly agreed. She really tried hard to keep her cool. When she got upset, I just reminded her she got a treat. She kept saying "Sorry mom...I'm listening." So sweet! So we bought her winter boots, hat & mitts...the only things she needed for winter.

On the way out of the parking lot to go home, she started passing me her blankie and bear. I wasn't getting why till she she started talking about getting her "treat". She saw the Timmie's sign so she thought she was getting timbits. Since she was so good and tried so hard, and I had a few bucks in my purse, through the drive-thru we went. She eats so well, I don't mind giving her treats now and then. Besides, a couple of timbits makes her squeel with delight...who wouldn't want to be the hero in that situation. And the treats continued at home. I finally found more "paint with water" colouring books at the Bargain Shop. I bought 6 or so...some for now, some for Christmas. She just loves them...and so do I! No paint required...just add water.

Well, nothing's on the agenda tonight...except the trim...which reminds me, I'll have to remind DH to bring home the darn saw. We're gettin' there. Guess I better get going. Don't forget your sunscreen today. 29 degrees on Sept 26th...who would've thunk it!!!
