Funday Monday

"Who says I can't wear my sunglasses upside down?"

"Don't I look pretty Mum?"

This is how I found Camilla this morning when I came into the kitchen after tidying the bedrooms.  Sunglasses on upside down and happy as ever! She even kept them on long enough for me to pull out my camera and snap some pictures.  She danced around the kitchen, checking her reflection out in the stove for a good 10 minutes or so. It was great.  I thought she looked super cute.  I think she was trying to be like her Uncle Mike, who always has his sunglasses on his head. 

After some breakfast, and a nap for the munchkin, we set off to run some errands for Mr. Stannix.  On Thursday he's leaving for a 3 day camping trip with the Young Men.  We are going to miss him very much!! I packed the stroller up in the car and we set off to check out MEC for some camping things.  Miss independent decided she didn't want to sit in her stroller, and nothing (not even the straps/belts) were going to hold her back.  She wriggled her way out with some trouble and proceeded to grump and scream in the middle of the store.  Oh Camilla, why can't you be that quiet sweet baby you once were.  Toddlers are fun, but I'm telling you, they do have their downsides! haha So, we bagged the stoller, and I let her walk around the store a bit, she only pulled a few things off the shelves, but after a few minutes she had had enough!! I made my way over to the checkout (just in time too!!) with a screaming baby.  Just as I got in line, so did a million other people behind me (phew).  Needless to say, I was glad to get outta there!!

Then I had to check out another place for sleeping bags (I looked at MEC, but holy expensive).  As I was trying to weigh out my options and check out all the different kinds, my awesome toddler was running away and trying to get her hands on anything at her height.  Between grabbing her and bringing her back to the sleeping bag aisle and trying to look at what I wanted and check out prices, I was feeling frazzled.  I finally made my way out with some compact North 49 sleeping bags.  Orange and black outside and grey inside.  Not exactly the look I was going for, but they are hooded (I like hooded sleeping bags) and the price was right!

We finally made it home, and boy am I glad!! I kiboshed grocery shopping in lieu of the crazy tot in the back seat. We'll save it for later, or tomorrow for that matter.  It's been drizzling off and on all day, again, but I guess it is July.... On the good side, our garden has grown like crazy! I really need to pick the lettuce soon or it's going to go bad. 

Mr. Stannix doesn't get home until 9:00  tonight.  I can't wait! I want to show him all the cool stuff I got for him today!
