Monday Funday

My mom met Beckett and I at about 8:30 this morning for a trip to Champaign and lunch in Tuscola.  I needed to get a shower gift and go to Sam's for some basics.  Beckett was up late last night and early this morning, so I had a feeling he would be a little sleepy.  I made breakfast at home (his favorite - "potatoes"), we got bundled up, and headed out. He fell asleep on the way, so I ran into Sam's while he and mom stayed cozy in the warm car.

Then we went to Hobby Lobby (Beckett calls it "Holly Bobby"), Barnes and Noble, and Toys R Us.  Beckett got some new books - his favorite! - and we could have spent the entire day there, reading all the books!  As it was, we ready probably 25!

Then we went to Tuscola to meet my bestie, Maria, and her wonderful mom, Cathy, for lunch!  We love this little place in Tuscola called the Soda Shoppe (actually, I can't remember what it's actual name is - HA!).  We've been there a couple of times now, and they have homemade desserts and candy, along with a great menu of lunch items. Beckett picked out gummy bears and a chocolate fish for Daddy.

It was SO good to see Maria and catch up!

When we got home, we took a nice nap!  Then I made dinner and we got out Beckett's new books to read. I also got him a little mailbox for the playroom.  (Melissa and Doug stuff is awesome!)   He wrote a letter to his two Mee Maws and drew a picture for Daddy.  I wrote him a letter and we "mailed" them all.  I think he will have fun with the mailbox because he loves talking about Daddy getting the mail. :)

Now, he's sleeping next to me, all snuggled up!  It was a great day. :)
