Carson & Blaze:)

LOVE YOU DAD!!!!!

Mommy's Day OFF!!! 8/1/08

I decided to take the day off on Friday to spend a day with Carson. I decided the day before that I wanted to take him to get his pictures made at Portrait Innovations, so I made an appointment for 11:00 on Friday. We got up and had breakfast and headed out to Trussville. Carson has never been crazy about getting pictures made in the studios so I was already nervous before arriving. When we got there and was waiting...Carson spotted a big rubber duckie that he just had to hold. Well...it came our turn for pictures and he didn't want to let go of the duck and would not get it out of his mind. There were 54 pictures taken and only about 6-7 came out good. Everytime I sat him down beside the props he would get right back up and run....which I know is typical of a 2 year old. We were able to get a few that were really cute though and I will post them soon! After we left PI, Carson and I headed to the end of the strip mall to a pizza place. I got in there and ordered at the counter and was about to pay when I realized that I didn't have my debit card!!! There were lots of people behind me and I was pouring sweat and digging through my big diaper bag trying to find the card! The girl at the counter put in my order and said I could come back to pay. I told her ok thinking that I would find it in the diaper bag, but it was no where to be found. At this point I was freaking out because my food was being made and I had no money and no credit cards on me. I also noticed that Best Buy was next to PI, so I was terrified that someone was going to use my card to buy some kind of expensive electronics! I went to the car and found 1 check left in my checkbook! The girl at the counter told me that they didn't accept checks, but thank goodness the nice manager let me write a check as long as I let him copy my drivers license! Carson seemed to really enjoy his grilled cheese because he ate the whole thing, but I was already so sick at my stomach and couldn't really eat my little pizza:) We went back to PI twice and they did not have my card. I'm guessing that I dropped it going out and someone picked it up. I did have Carson in one hand...diaper bag on shoulder with the props we took to get pics made with, so there is really no telling who may have my card. I was finally able to get in touch with Jeremy so he could call and cancel my card since I didn't have the Wachovia number on me. At this point, Carson and I had to put an end to our mommy/baby day since we had no way of paying for anything!
Later that afternoon, I had the idea of taking Carson to the Baron's game when Jeremy got home. Brandy called right after I had this idea and she was wanting us to do something with them and she had mentioned that she had the thought of going to the Baron's game too. Jeremy, Carson, and I left when Jeremy got home from work and had a yummy dinner at Wings and then headed to the Baron's game. Brandy and Auston met us over there and then we finally got to meet Anthony that she has been dating for the past few weeks!
It was Friday Fireworks and Carson seemed to really enjoy them this time! When we left he was still saying "orange" so he wanted to go back in and see the "orange" fireworks:)
It started off a really bad day with the debit card incident, but turned out to be not so bad afterall:)
