Afternoon out

Woke up groggy again today. Something is wrong with me in the mornings. I did manage to get Ava fed and dressed. When I did get her out of bed I noticed she has 10 "bug bites" on her face and 2 on her wrist. I am hoping this is because she did an Easter egg hunt outside at daycare yesterday. I put a little hydrocortizone  cream on it to bring down the redness. Which as of 9pm tonight has not helped.

Finally at 3pm I decided I had enough of moping around the house and decided to take Ava out for a bit. I planned already to go by McDonald's where my mother in law works to pick up boxes to start packing. I got Ava a happy meal because who can't get their kid a happy meal when they are at McDonald's. For once, she ate every single thing. From the chicken nuggets to even the little apple slices. Made mommy very happy to see her eat real food. When we got ready to leave I asked one of the employees to help me with the boxes to which they acted like I asked them to move a building... Finally I had to ask my mother in law to help me move the 4 boxes to my car. I mean I am a woman carrying a purse, diaper bag and a kid. Could you not take a minute to bring these boxes to my car parked right by the door?

Initially after our trip to McDonald's I planned to take Ava to the park. After looking at the thermometer in the car which read 85 degrees, I decided to call my friend Natalia and see if a play date was in order. She happily obliged to have us over. The kids had a blast watching Super Why and fighting over toys and milk and goldfish. Us ladies discussed the goings on in our lives while occasionally laughing or yelling at our crazy kids. I did most of the yelling since Ava tends to be a little bit of a bully to poor Moxie. I did get Ava to say Moxie's name a few times it was so cute. The night ended with JPop playing on the TV and the girls playing with the disco ball light up toy designed for the pool. Had a little bite to eat of Natalia's always awesome cooking. She can turn anything edible I swear. Ava still full from her happy meal was having none of it.

Now finally home. The little one is in bed. I am hoping when she wakes up the bites will be gone and not multiplying. I am off to bed myself seeing as I have work tomorrow at the Lafayette Jockey Lot. Lets hope the heat doesn't kill me.
