Matt left today for Oceana. He will be landing on the aircraft carrier all this week. In efforts to keep my mind off of that, Sarah Geyer (another lonely wife who's husband is on the ground in Afghanistan) and I decided to take a day trip to Savannah with 3 kids to "kill" a Saturday! We braved the Mall and did a little "retail therapy" while the kids were on their best behavior. (meaning we made it through one store! HA!) Sarah wanted to give Alison a special treat by taking her to Build-a-Bear. I am sad to admit that this was mine and Alison's 1st trip ever to Build A Bear! We loved it! Alison immediately went for the pink kitten ( the closest she will get to owning one) and named it Tinkerbell. It was so much fun watching her stuff, bath and register her very own kitty. Thanks Sarah for taking us there and getting Alison her Tinkerbell.

Then, we were very brave (or nuts) and took a 3 yr old, 10 month old and 2 month old to Chuck E Cheese! Alison took off for the playland area and we didn't see her for about 30 minutes. Then she played several games and ate pizza. Her favorite part was the tokens. She didn't understand that she just needed one per game and often asked me for "more money please". We were tired and had hungry babies by the end and somehow Sarah and I convinced her to settle for a lollipop instead of redeeming her 129 tickets in a long line of hateful people! (whew!) By the time we got home it was way past bedtime and a day full of no naps so I am worn out and ready for bed! Here are some pictures from our outings today! Until our next adventure....
Monster truck style
she really got the hang of this game
