Summer Adventure

Cam has been in St. Louis all week on a business trip. I have been at home cooped up inside because it is so HOT outside. Abby, my fun 15 year old friend, has been staying with us. She is a life saver and a great extra set of hands. I think cabin fever got the best of me and we decided to get out of the house for a little CFA and Toys R Us. I rarely take all 4 by myself in public. I will if I have to, but it makes me a little nervous. I was feeling brave since Abby was there to help.  

First stop, CFA. I went through the drive-thru to place my order and kindly asked them to keep the food because we would be dining inside. We parked and then Abby and I each took 2 kiddos and went inside. We tried to remain under the radar, but CFA was packed!! I was so glad our food was already waiting for us. We had a pretty uneventful meal, lots of stares, but no comments. Hampton devoured the fruit, but didn't eat the nuggets. It dawned on me later that it could have been the peanut oil since he is allergic to peanuts?? Due to a recall there was no toy in the kids meal, so we got free ice cream instead. The boys LOVED it! They could not stop signing "more." It was so cute! 

Huddy, looking 3!!

Harper hate 10 nuggets and wanted a snack 30 minutes after leaving. Can you say growth spurt?

We loaded up the crew and headed to The Woodlands. I think I had just stopped sweating as we pulled into the Toys R Us parking lot! Harper's birthday is coming up and we wanted to browse through the toys and make a wish list. He wanted the entire store! He has so many toys at home that he does.not.play with. I think he will most likely be getting a bike, but he took a lot of pictures with my phone to tell the grandparents. The boys did pretty good. We needed to shopping carts to tote everyone around. Thank goodness for Abby. Hogan is my steady walker runner, so we let him explore the store. 

On the way home Harper and Hudson feel asleep and Abby and I had to stop at Starbucks to stay awake! Happy Wednesday to all!!
