The Joy of Shopping

Today we got the family shopping in. This is one of the highlights of the family week, filled with as much fun as a 21 moth old can handle. While Julie uses her list making power to do the actual shopping. Charlotte and I go through three stages.

1- Running around the shop like mad things.

When Charlotte runs, you can imagine 'road to Amarillo' playing in her mind. Also included in the itinery is picking up odd objects from the shelves,

and waiting for grannies to say 'what a lovely boy' (for some strange reason, old people, and mainly old men, seem to think that every baby and toddler is a boy, despite any evidence to the contrary, including wearing pink dresses).

2- Up on daddies shoulders, leaving daddy with a sweaty neck, atleast I think it was sweat.

3- In the trolley for spins and the odd treat.

Today was our 5th wedding anniversary, and to celebrate we went out for lunch. Charlotte got a balloon on the way out, and then while Julie held the balloon, Charlotte ran away from her around the car park shouting 'I am not a number'. She slept on the way back.

Tonight Julie and I tried to watch ocean's 12 (part of our anniversary gift to eachother). Unfortunately, Julie got lost in the plot after the first 15 minutes, wondering when the minis were going to come into it.
