shopping | Random Crap

I took the day of on Friday because of the long memorial day weekend. It was really nice to hang out with Lisa and Sienna for 4 days.

Friday

Toys r us

We started off at Toys-r-us. I wanted to pick up more outdoor toys for Sienna. I didn’t see as much stuff as i thought i would. Here, Sienna and i sword fight with cute nerf swords.

run mommy run!

We ended up going to the playground near Toys-r-Us them Wendys for lunch. I haven’t been to a Wendys in a long time. I forgot how good the burgers were..

Sienna loves to run. It’s very cute but she still isn’t 100% sure of herself yet. She’s almost there.

Saturday

Saturday we went on a mini road trip out to see Tammy and Zack at their new home upstate.

We’re getting ready to go on out very first mini road trip..

Sienna is ready

Gorilla decided to come along for the ride.

Made it

We made it in an hour and forty five minutes. The car performed great! It’s a very smooth ride and so much fun to drive. It’s cool being higher up and i love being able to see my miles per gallon go up and down depending on how i drive it. the book says it goes 27mpg on the highway but i got it up to 28.6!!! that’s my new game…

Out front

As soon as we stopped, Sienna ran around exploring the front of Tammys place. Her house is HUGE!! it’s very homey and has a lot of levels. I didn’t take any pictures of the inside. I have no idea why. Check out Lisas blog, she might have gotten some shots.

Tammy, thank you for your hospitality. It was nice to see you again and lunch was awesome. We need to pickup some of those meat patties.

Sienna out

On the way back home, as predicted, Sienna falls asleep but not for long..

Monday

We were invited to a Memorial Day BBQ by one of Lisas friends Geneva. It was nice to hang out with a bunch of parents of small children. The food was great and i discovered a yummy Smirnoff Ice Watermelon that is going to be my new summer BBQ drink!!

It was very nice of Geneva to invite us to the BBQ. We had a wonderful time.

The grandma world tour made it’s last stop in New York this week to the delight of little Sienna and the other NY Menous. Grandma flew in late Tuesday night and stayed till mid afternoon on Friday. It was a short stay but we had a nice time anyway.

Wednesday

Sienna was so excited to have grandma back. She woke up and asked to go wake up grandma. Having done so, she reintroduced all her stuffed toys. They played a bit then we had breakfast. I wish grandpa was also visiting. it’s too bad he didn’t want to go on the trip..

Later that day, we went shopping..

Shopping with Sienna

Leaving Target

We ended up having lunch at Olive Garden. My mom really likes it there. The food was good. We had the best pink lemonade. Sienna didn’t make too much of a mess.

Lunch at Olive Garden

Next stop Home Depot. This isn’t a good place for toddlers to run around in. Too much crap all over the place. People just aren’t paying attention. Who can blame them. It’s a friggin hardware store!!! She did find something to do though….

Home Depot

Thursday

Sienna had her usual gym class. I don’t get a chance to go because of work but since i had taken a couple of days off for my moms visit, we both went to gym class with Sienna.

the gym

I can see how this place would be so much fun for kids. There is stuff to climb on, stuff to jump off and scamper across. there is padding all over the place too! Sienna only participates in class when she feels like it. Most of the time, she just running around with that little Italian kid following her, GRRRRRR.

Later, we met up with Lisa’s parents to have Dim Sum.

Friday

This was the day that grandma had to go back home. Her flight wasn’t till 2 so she had some time to make us a nice Jamaican breakfast of fish fritters and johnny cakes. They turned out great!!

After that, grandma did some last minute shopping on the avenue then i took her to JFK. Thanks for the visit grandma, i wish you could have spent a little longer time with us. Next time..
