Lowe's



We have been doing a lot around the house today. Some things we did just in the past day are 1.replace toilet seat, 2. paint gas heater in bathroom ,3. organize kitchen cabinet, 4. rake pine straw from neighbors and put in front beds to make it look like we can actually grow things in the front yard, 5. plant all the pots ( 12 of them) on the back deck, 6. fix cracks.



After we picked up the Chuckster from school, we went to Lowe's to get some things for tomorrow. Dr. fixed the cracks today. Tomorrow we sand and paint. Chuck has gotten to the point that when you put him down in a store, he will walk instead of run. Chuck loves Lowe's and I don't mind having to follow CHuck around while Daddy shops. It gives something interesting for Chuck to do.

Right now, Chuck is really obsessed with helping to turn on lights. Can you imagine the excitement of Chuck in the light switch aisle?! That took up a good 5- 10 minutes of our time.



Chuck also enjoyed riding the lawn mowers...


Making sure the weight limit listed on the storage bins was correct...


Reading a book in the middle of the store... I mean who doesn't do that?!?


And of course, a meltdown. Luckily the majority of our public meltdowns are quiet and consist of Chuck laying on the floor and scooting around on his back. Can you imagine how dirty he was at bath time tonight!


A couple walked by and the man said, "He looks like he is having a good 'ol time". I looked at the man ( who obviously doesn't have kids) and told him this was one of our silent meltdowns and he might want to hurry up and leave the store before it becomes an audible meltdown.
