Random day of fun

Yesterday, Rob called to let me know that my new glasses were in and I could come up and get them fitted. Quickly a plan was made to eat lunch with Brandi, pick up my glasses and then wander around Toys R Us for a while. I had a few errands to run so before I picked up Kaelin from school Sean, Savanna and I ran over to get stuff done. Picked up lunch, picked up Kaelin and we were on our way.





First stop, Brandi's work to enjoy some BK, yum!


Then the kids got to go out and do their favorite thing...play in the dirt and rocks. I think they really miss the dirt spot in the yard of our old apartment complex.
It was a bit cold, but Kaelin still found plenty of pretty cool specimens.



After we stopped at Rob's office we went onto Toys R Us. We stopped there a couple days ago for a present and the kids were pretty bummed that they couldn't look at all the toys. We seriously went up and down every aisle. By the end of it I finally allowed myself to look at my watch and we had been there pretty close to two hours!
Sean made at least three different beds on the floor. No worries, it was all cleaned up before we moved on to the next area



Savanna loved all her "bibeez" (babies), and dogs. When we had to put them back she was a pretty sad sight.



Then, the whole reason for this random day of fun. My new glasses. My last pair snapped in half by the very gentle hands of myself. I promise, I was very carefully trying to adjust them. Barely even started and they broke before I could even do anything to them. NOT MY FAULT!



Anyway, I have been wearing contacts for a while trying to put of the purchase of new frames. Really enjoying the contacts, actually. All was well, until my eye got scratched, by Miss Van. Two days without contacts and with no back-up glasses, I was out of luck. I definitely need glasses. I enjoyed the contacts so much that those will probably be my main form of corrective lenses. But, its great to have glasses to wear first thing in the morning and late at night. Last, but not least, here is a picture of my new spectacles. I really love, love, love them. And yes they are purple!

If anyone cares, they are Menrads in the purple and silver
