I had to take my jeep into the shop this morning to have the alignment adjusted. Since we are off track, I didn't have daycare available for Emma and I didn't want to bug grandma to keep her, so I decided to just take her with me. I brought a bag of toys to keep her entertained, but then I realized the repair shop was right across the street from a 99 cent store! I usually shop online or stop at the grocery store before I pick her up from school, so Emma doesn't get to shop with me very often. She LOVED it! We had a ball looking around at all the goodies(and filling an entire handcart). I was even able to sneak in quite a few little notebooks, colored pencils, candies, and trinkets into the cart to fill up Emma, TJ, & Kayla's Easter baskets! Then we went back to the shop and, of course, my car was still not ready. So we headed up the street to KMart, where we enjoyed a slice of pizza for lunch and a little more browsing. I picked up a couple shirts for myself and a dress and some jammies for Emma. As we left the store Emma noticed the Merry-Go-Round and had to take a spin of course. I had noticed it as we went in, so I made sure to have quarters ready when we came out. We had a good time today. Like I said, I usually try to avoid shopping with the little one, but she was so good! At one point during lunch Emma looked at me, smiled and said, "This is fun. I like shopping with Mommy." That girl just melts my heart. I love spending the day with her.
