pretty good day for me today.
started off the day with a trip to the Y. we almost didn't stay. when we got to the drop off the girls said there was no more room and they were too full of kids. i made sad faces while mom tried to cheer me up. i was really looking forward to hanging out. mom and i headed back to the car but the girl came after us and said- she would work something out and i could stay- yeah. mom did her workout and i got to play with toys and kids.
after the Y mom and i hit a bunch of charity shops. gainesville has lots of charity shops and they are all spread out so we can only visit a couple a day. today we did 3 stores. wednesday must be charity shop day because all the parking lots were jammed pack. it was hard to find a parking space.
the first shop we visited mom missed the turn and we had to go around the block. the parking lot was full anyway. by the time we made it around again a space opened up. we parked and checked out the shop, it was in an old house. there was some interesting stuff but we didn't buy anything. mom says for used things, it was pretty expensive. so we left and visited an educational store which was across the parking lot. the educational store was full of stuff and i just walked around following mom trying to take things off shelves- buy me this, buy me this. mom was all- you don't even know what that is. i'm not just buying stuff. so i got all pouty and we left.
at the next shop mom missed the turn again and we had to go around the block. seems the talking lady doesn't give very good directions. had some better luck in the second shop. mom found me a really awesome big kid microscope and bought it. score
on our way around the block we passed a huge charity shop so mom took us back there to check it out. good thing mom got a basket at the door because she filled it up. she got me a couple leaning books. then she found a container of lincoln logs, mom assures me they are very cool. she also dug out a great electric keyboard. awesome! i can make music again. i tried to talk her into buying me a real full sized piano but mom said- no, they're too big. someday.
after all that shopping mom and i were pretty tired so we went home and ate lunch. we had pizza for a special treat. it was good. i had my nap.
this afternoon mom and i have been playing linky logs. they are pretty cool. basically you making buildings and they look like log cabins. i've also been playing with my new keyboard. i wrote a little song called clue. i have a clue, how about you? and then there's a little dance to go along with it, just silly stuff.
