Jack and I went to Target. For no reason. No reason at all. Just to piss some time away. Play. Laugh. It’s cold outside. Wet, rainy, snowy. An ugly mix. I didn’t plan to purchase anything. Just play. For free.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I strapped him on in the Ergo and made the 2 mile walk to Target. Mama has to get exercise somehow.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"Crappy<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What a royally craptacular day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Target, Jack is king of the world. Well, let’s face it. He’s the king of my entire world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first thing he said when we walked in was “ball.” So, since he is king, off to the balls we marched.<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Soon he understood that he was king of this world and could run free.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I can push the cart!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I crashed. Who cares! I’m the king!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And look at my royal bowl.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And my royal bubbles.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And sidewalk chalk in so very many colors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Other<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And there are even other little kids here. He must be a Prince.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Cheap<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And wait, sidewalk chalk for $1!?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, let’s get serious for a moment. We should get a birthday card for Dada.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nah, Mama will find one. I want throw the cards around!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just as I suspected. Mama found the perfect card.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Cloth<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wait, cloth diapers at Target?!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have reached heaven on Earth. Truck Town.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I bow to the truck!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And maybe groove a little to the truck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How about I just down right boogie to the truck!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More balls and more trucks!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yeah, I’m sitting in the aisle, vrooming my truck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Life vest with a shark fin. Why is Mama laughing so hard?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let me just pick up this truck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Abby<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obligatory NIP shot in the display furniture.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s fun to say “AAAHHH!!!!” in the bathroom.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Abby<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mama walked me home in the rain. She kept me warm and dry. Except for this moment when she just had to snap a pic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Jack<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When we got home Mama thought I might need a nap, but I corrected her. I ran around with my new balloons.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Our<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So Mama intended to spend $0, but spent $18. Not bad. Bottle of wine, truck, balloons, baseball cards and a birthday card. Now Mama’s going to go have a glass of wine.<\/div>\n
