Killing time

So I tried to tell myself that I would be really good and post at least every other day if I couldn't do it every day, but obviously that hasn't worked out so well thus far. But in the same you have to have new things to write about right? Otherwise its just the random babble that goes on in my head, and I'm not sure that anyone other than myself is really interested in hearing all that.
Anyways, so the past two days have been mostly bopping around the mall days. I wanted to get out of the house and it's been pretty miserable weather wise here so Tori has been couped up with entirely too much energy. So we went over to Colonie Center on Tuesday, poked around, tried to come up with something for Matt for father's day; only to come up mostly empty handed. It didn't help of course that he wasn't giving me any ideas. Instead we'll have a nice dinner with friends and our munchkins.
Today we finally got to get back outside though. Yesterday we could have spent some time outside, and we did later in the afternoon. Wen went over the Amanda and Autumn's house for dinner and the girls played in the side yard while Amanda and I sat and had a glass of wine. That venture all in its own was probably the most entertaining part of the past two days. We load up in the Honda to go get a bottle of wine to go with dinner, and Amanda drives a Chevrolet Cavalier so nice little four cylinder, gets them around just fine, and Autumn thought my car was the fastest thing in the world! Those girls were too funny! I would pull away from a light or stop sign, and nothing special, but because they're in the back seat so there was full wind with the windows down and the exhaust on the car being loud they thought we were going SUPER FAST! And that was exactly what they kept squealing in between giggling and screeching in excitement. Amanda and I were laughing so hard. They thought it was just the greatest thing. Now of course Tori has been in the car a million times and so it was technically nothing new for her, but to have Autumn there and so excited you would have thought we put the two of them on a roller coaster. Then we got back to Amanda's and the girls are playing in the yard while we waited to start cooking dinner and they're trying to play tag. Well more so Autumn kept tagging Tori. she wasn't quite catching on to the concept yet. I foresee in the future for this afternoon however lots of bike riding and mommy reading the new book she got last week.
Should be an interesting one, North and South, all about a young man who comes to live in the colonies and then gets wrapped up in the civil war. I'll let you know how it goes. Oh and I found another great pattern for a cute shell bag that I want to crochet too.
