Black Friday...

Well, Miss Caroline experienced her first "Black Friday" shopping spree last week! She was a real trooper, too! Gigi and I started at Kohl's at 4:00, while Caroline got a few last winks in. Nothing much there, so we headed by Wal-Mart...only to be scared off by the look of the packed parking lot. We went home and slept for about another hour, from 5:00 to 6:00. Then I woke little girly around 6:30, gave her some breakfast, and we were off to meet Aunty Hill at Target. Target yielded quite a few bargains...mostly for Caroline! Aunty Hill had to head home after that, so we were off to Towne East to have our mid-morning snack in the "mother's lounge" at Von Maur. After a little downtime there, we browsed a little in that store and made our way into the mall for a while. From there it was off to Mommy and Caroline's favorite store...Baby Gap! I found a great little green jacket for next spring, and some little "boy" blue jeans. The morning of shopping wore out Gigi and I, so we were off for lunch at Bella Luna Cafe, one of my favorite restaurants in Wichita. Caroline had her nap while we ate, but we ran into trouble after lunch when Mommy was going to change the girl. I smelled something...something not good. It was ALL the way up her BACK!!! Ewww! Not the first time it'd happened, but gross nonetheless. Gigi and I managed to change her in the back of the Tahoe in 40-degree weather. Then she got her lunch in the backseat of a warm car. Our last stop of the day was Hobby Lobby, my other favorite day-after-Thanksgiving hotspot. Found a few cute things there. Got some ribbon to make bows for Caroline's cousin Lola. Anyway, here are some shots of the day's highlights...

Well, this was the day after Black Friday...Caroline's first visit to Ted's Cafe Escondido...she looks stuffed, huh? :)
