Madeline and Hunter at Sam's. Madeline is actually IN the cart. The FRONT of the cart. I wanted to bring Hunter home with us for that reason alone because he's the only one that can keep her in the cart.
We had a mini family reunion in Cleveland last weekend. My sister, Shelley, moved to Ohio at the end of the summer so her husband could attend podiatry school. My mom came up with the great idea for her and Madeline and I to meet in Cleveland to see my sister's new place. It was so nice to get away from our normal routine for a few days. I loved the extra help with Madeline, and she apparently misses it with how she's been acting since we've been home.
Madeline and Hunter at the Cleveland Zoo. The monkeys were the favorite animal at this zoo. Madeline yelled "MONK, MONK, MONK" for about 15 minutes.
We went out to dinner on Monday night, which was pretty crazy with these two kids. Madeline's favorite part of the meal was the ranch dressing. Who needs carrots when you have fingers?
I hadn't seen her little guy, Hunter, since he was a newborn, so it was fun getting to know him. He is such a calm, happy baby. Madeline wanted to be just like him - to the point where she was crawling around on the floor and sucking on a binkie (my next child WILL take a binkie). Cleveland is really beautiful in the fall. The whole city was shrouded in orange and red.
We spent a good part of our trip shopping, including my mom's necessary daily trips to Walmart. We grew up running constant errands with my mom, so I guess that's one of the ways we bond. Shelley was graciously given a sewing machine on Friday, so we thought it might be fun to try it out with a small sewing project. We decided to make crayon holders, but grossly underestimated the time it would take. We spent the whole afternoon into the evening on Saturday making them. My mom sewed quite a bit when we were younger, but Shelley and I are pretty inept at it. They turned out really cute in the end, though.
It was wonderful to see some of my family after so long. I'm all hyped up for our Christmas vacation now.
