Busy weekend

We had a busy weekend with Tyler's baseball game and an engagement party on Saturday and friends over for a bar-b-que on Sunday.  This is right up Alex's alley because he has been a busy boy for the past couple of months.  He is so busy running everywhere and wanting to play outside.  He is ALL boy!  He is also very busy talking.  He wakes up talking to himself and his animals in his bed...he talks as he falls asleep for his nap and when its time to go to sleep at night.  Our new bedtime routine involves telling all the animals on the walls and people in picture frames goodnight.  Yesterday morning he was naming everything he saw from the bedroom to the kitchen and then from the kitchen to the bedroom.  Life is just so busy!

Saturday Alex and I went to Old Navy for what I expected to be a quick shopping experience.  Well, lets just say that the trip lasted about an hour and a half.  There was a great sale going on so there were lots of people.  Alex did a fairly good job hanging out in the shopping cart for the entire time.  About 40 minutes into the trip he looked at me and said "poo poo" with a red face.  Oh boy, I didn't have a diaper or wipes with me so I quickly finished trying on clothes and headed for the check out line...which was about 15 people deep.  I have to say that it was moving fast but not fast enough for me.  Alex spotted some balls near the check out line so he was somewhat entertained but losing patience quickly.  I spotted a soft spiky ball that lights up when it bounces.  I was entertaining Alex with it when we were waiting for the next clerk to check us out.  I looked around and couldn't find the ball.  I thought he probably dropped it so wasn't concerned.  We check out and get to the car...then I realized I had put the ball in my purse! Without paying for it!  I was panicked that the people in line saw me do this and thought I was a shoplifter.  I didn't know what to do so I ran back inside Old Navy and found a manager behind the counter.  I told them that we accidentally left with it without paying for it.  The ladies were really nice and laughed it off.  I'm still so embarrassed by it!  Oh well, all is fine.
