Yesterday we got out and did stuff, which made it a great day!

I get Isaiah up at 7 each day and nurse him.  Not for much longer though.  I'm currently in the process of weaning him.  We're down to just nursing when he wakes up and bedtime.  Honestly, I think he could easily drop the morning one and have a cup instead but it's kinda nice to just wake up and lazily have him nurse for half an hour while I read blogs on my phone.  I know if I switch to cup I will have to be "on" right away.
Anyway, so yesterday he nursed at 7, packed Markus' lunch, fed Isaiah breakfast at 8, then decided to head out the door.  We didn't have playgroup until 10:30 but that happens to be right when Isaiah wakes up from his morning nap.  Since the nap was going to be screwed up anyway I figured I might as well make the most of it.  Last weekend we stopped by Victoria's Secret since I had a $10 off coupon and a giftcard (except I forgot the giftcard at home that day). I've been looking for a nice little number like this

Now that I'm looking through the site, I'm finding a lot cuter slips than this, darn! Oh well.  I didn't get this exact one but similar.  I tried it on this past weekend, but decided to come back sometime this week to get it with my giftcard. I wasn't in love with it but Markus kept asking me every night at dinner if I had gotten to the mall that day.  I thought he would forget, but apparently he didn't. So, long story short, I decided I would go to the mall yesterday morning with my free time. Since the mall didn't open until 10 I decided to walk around the lake that's just beside the mall.  It was fun to get out and have a busy morning!  I had just enough time to do a quick loop around the lake, head inside the mall and pickup my slip (and a free panty with lace on the top, love the lace ones!), and head on downtown for playgroup at a park. Only me and another girl showed up for playgroup this week.  It was nice to get to know her better.  I think I heard once on Oprah that gaining a friend is the equivalent boost to your mood as gaining a 20k salary raise.  Something I've learned recently is how true friendships are such an impact in one's life so I've really been seeking more friends, especially moms, recently. Days are so much better spent with friends!
