slumber.party!

Simon and I got to keep Claire Bear on Friday night! It was the first time that she had stayed all night at our house. So as you might have figured, I tried to spoil her as much as I could in the short amount of time that we had her. We spent Friday night at Chuck E. Cheese's, and then Saturday we went to Starbucks, Wally World, Target, and then back home to watch Shrek. The time really went too fast, so we are going to have to do it again soon. For those family members that live out of state and don't get to see Claire all that often, let me tell you that this girl likes to talk. The funniest things come out of her mouth:) But be careful what you say, because she'll repeat everything you say!

Sbux was fun. Claire had organic apple juice and a blueberry muffin. We sat in the big comfy chairs right by the doors, and Claire was acting goofy as she greeted everyone that came and went. We sang a little E-I-E-I-O and she "shook her booty"--one of her favorite things to do! Simon, meanwhile, was laughing so hard at us as the Sbux visitors continued to be amused by the free show.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos I took of her during her stay...

LOVE this one of her. I'm going to get a big print made for my desk here at home!

SO stinkin' cute!

Claire's signature pigtails...



Of all the toys at Wally World, she picked Curious George. As you can see, she's taking good care of him:)

...continuing to watch over her little one!


She thought she needed to get a little closer to Shrek...

She did a little booty shaking at home too...

Love her!


So, after all of this, I met Jess and Brian to drop Claire off. Then, I met Tara and Meg for our longest training run so far...18 MILES....AHHHHHHHH! That's why you haven't heard from me until late tonight. I was a LITTLE worn out today. All better now though!
