The Sawyers came to town!!!
Dear Abigail,
On Monday, we (you, me, Mimi and Kate) had the intentions of getting out early, running to Costcos, and heading back to Mimi's to relax before heading to Mammaws to see all our cousins. All that happened, minus the relaxing part! We got out early, but on our way to Mammaws I realized that Costco didn't open until 10, and it was 8:30! So, we helped Mammaw with a few things around the house and you played with Skipper, while he was in the cage of course. Finally we headed out, making a quick stop at Target, and made it to Costco just when it opened. Now, let me just tell you. I have never spent this much time in Costco! We did have 3 different people shopping (me, Mimi, and Mammaw) and 3 different shopping carts, but man alive, it just took forever. You did good for the majority of time, and even got a smoothie (one that Mom and Mammaw wouldn't dare drink because it was green!), but at the end, you had to potty, which meant you had to get out of the basket, which meant you were not getting back in, which meant you'd drive me crazy chasing you. We made it to the check out line, only to find you under someone else's cart being pushed through the line, loading the cart up with that person's food! Girl...
After Costco, we headed to drop Mammaw off (after a small panic of almost running out of gas - totally my fault) and then dropped our stuff off at Mimi's and got a little cleaned up just to head back to Mammaws. Why you ask, because the Sawyers were in from Houston AND it was Sarah's big 1-0 birthday! What a party we had! Everyone, and I mean everyone was there to celebrate. Even Jake, Lizzy's black lab. Whom you didn't care for. At least not at first. Let me just say, by the end of that night, you were chasing him around, giving him hugs, riding him like a horse. You loved you some Jake by the end of that night and even opened up to Skipper. And man alive did you play with your cousins. Let's see... Emily and John Michael, Sarah and Emery, Hayden, Sydney, and Gracie and Clara Lee. You kiddos played and played - inside, outside, a little bit of everywhere. At one point you were riding Mammaws reindeer that light up and then another time you were outside on the playground, by yourself, in the dark. That wasn't cool. And that wasn't the last time we caught you trying to escape outside... You're like Skipper - first chance to run outside and you do it! We ate chili and birthday cake and hung out for a really long time and then Ash-ash said you could spend the night at her house! A long day, but lots of fun and catching up with relatives. And not a single picture other than the one picture that Aunt G made me take to send to her which I never did!
Fun fun fun! And more to come!
