Day before baby sister arrives

I wanted to do something big and special with the kids today, but considering my physical shape and lack of stamina, options were limited. I think we are still managing to do a decent job of spending a nice day together.

This morning after breakfast and a little mommy nap, we headed to Frederick to get the kids spring and summer shoes for the kids. Ellie thinks buying shoes is a great treat. Max just likes getting out and about. The shopping was successful. Ellie got away with three pairs of shoes; and she thought she needed about two more. She's such a girlie girl? Max got a new pair of tennis shows, officially retiring nearly a year full of hand me downs. He was pleased.

After the shipping we headed to Starbucks for morning snacks, another treat for all.

Then we wrapped up the morning with some time at the park. Kids love the park near us and we don't go in the winter when it's cold. So this was a bit of a seasons opener for them. Their new shows served them well and they had fun!

It's nap time now, but they are not doing. Good job of Going to sleep.
