Wednesday (one of my favorite days as I am off with Ella all day!). We decided to brave the crowds in Lynchburg....really I just had two places I wanted to stop...I stopped at the first place...a consignment store that I bring some of my clothes to...and I had some cash there! :) So after picking that up...we headed to this amazing store called, "Sweet Pea's," in Wyndhurst...it's an upscale childrens consigment shop (but they sell quite a bit of new things as well)...it was kind of hard to move around in there as they have so much and not enough space (I found out they are going to be expanding) - it was hard to carry a carseat through the store! I was after 2 items...1) a toy for Ella - it's like a little mat that they lay on and there are toys that are above her...Josh thought she would like that...so I thought I would see if they had one...and they did! Second item....2) Sophie the Giraffe....it's a teething toy that I have heard from many people is great....and Ella has been chewing on everything she can get her hands on...so now she has a special "Chew Toy"...Ha - she fits right in with the puppies! :)
Thursday - it's Thanksgiving! We packed up and got ready (which took us at least 2 hours) to head over to Smith Mountain Lake...Josh, Ella, 2 chihuahua's and myself...what a crew! We were doing our tradition of seafood...which this year was grilled Salmon. After lunch...we went for a really nice walk out by the lake...
Josh and I were able to have a date night! Ella went to bed around 6:30pm...she was whipped...and we were just leaving the house...Mom and Dad "watched" her...well really just checked in on her as she slept....we went and saw "Breaking Dawn"...my request...Josh just put up with it!
Friday - Our date day continues! Dad had to work...so Mom watched Ella while Josh and I went to Roanoke to go to the Gun Range...yes that's right...he went with me to my movie...so I went with him on his fun outing...but I actually did enjoy it...it was my second time ever shooting a handgun...and I do have to say...I'm pretty good ;) I was shooting better then the people in the lane next to us...that made me feel pretty good! It was loud...even with the ear protection....and it definitely took a little getting used to...everytime someone was shooting I jumped...because I just didn't expect it...but after 20 minutes or so I was more relaxed. After we did that we went to lunch...we went to Red Robin...right next to the mall...or should I say right next to the zoo! The parking lot was packed...and no we didn't brave the crowds...we went home :) We packed everything all back up again and came home! And the best part...we still have 2 more days off!
