We don’t have plans today except to hand out candy to the hordes of trick-or-treators. This past Friday, we went to the school for their Halloween parade and festivities. Anthony was fascinated by all the people! He looked a little alarmed at first, but then he was okay after a few minutes. Jessica, his cousin, came with us and she held Anthony while walking in the parade. Daddy and I think Anthony should have won for cutest costume because he was BY FAR the cutest one there!
It rained a lot yesterday and we all went to lunch at the Italian restaurant for lunch. Anthony sat in the high chair at the table with Mommy and me and flirted with the waitress. Then we came home, intending to go out shopping, but Anthony was tired so he took a nap with Mommy. He was so tired he slept until 9 PM, so we didn’t really do anything else yesterday.
Today we went to Trader Joe’s and then to Waldbaum’s. We got a bunch of things at TJ’s, but the real big news there was that Anthony sat in the shopping cart like a big boy! Mommy wants one of those protective covers so he doesn’t have to touch the filthy cart, but TJ’s carts are pretty clean. We’ll still get one of the covers though. At Waldbaums Mommy just ran in to see if they had Anthony’s formula, which is on sale for $8.99, but they didn’t so we got some rain checks. We were going to go to the other Waldbaum’s to look, but Anthony was uncomfortable in his car seat – he doesn’t fit in it anymore – so we came home and started pricing a new car seat. Looks like we’re going to go with the Britax Roundabout. It was well-reviewed on Consumer Reports and everywhere else and costs about $200 or so. Hopefully this will last him a long time (supposed to be to 30 lbs.).
I’m going to have to see if there’s a good way to include images in these posts outside of raw HTML < img > tags.
