afternoon with momma

as part of noah's halloween costume, i needed suspenders. i thought they would be pretty easy to find - boy was i wrong. i no joke called about 35 stores from nordstroms to thrift town to mens wearhouse. finally, i ended up finding them at a store in southlake town center. so we went. noah played around in the square near the fountain but was sad to see there was no water. he kept saying 'uh oh'. after running around, i made him go into anthropologie where i looked at everything thinking in no way can i afford a $185 top. or if i could, no way i would buy a $185 top. we walked out with a couple of Christmas presents (i may have bought myself one), and a baby book i couldn't turn down for him. i know, majorly lacking on that area. but this is my real scrapbook for him. 

then after i attempted to get him in his car seat after 10 attempts or so (the two's are RIGHT around the corner) we headed back home. we cut through because traffic was bad and i decided to go down on the street where we took family pics last year. our spot was still there and i had to get him out to play around. we tried to get him a cupcake but it was closed. sigh. but, they had a little carnival that was just getting going so we headed over there. they had a petting zoo where at first he was excited.. but then found the most entertainment playing with the latch. he did point at the chicken and do 'circles' around and around the pig but that was about it. he is sooo interest in how things work. he loves to put caps on, mess with latches, doors, handles, etc. we grabbed a pumpkin and left. it was a fun day. temper tantrums and all :}
