Carrie and I decided to wake up Shane and go to the early service to help us jump-start our day. It gave us a reason to get up and Shane got to go run around and play to wake up.
It was a win-win.
Afterwards, we went out on a retail journey.
PetSmart didn't open until 10 AM, so we dropped by Lowe's first. Shane's love of hardware stores is well documented.
My job is always the same: keep up!
Carrie shops. I guarantee Shane doesn't break anything. Or at least I try to. He's pretty determined.
We weren't on a mission today, so Carrie joined in the play. Shane was in toddler heaven. He's pretty partial to Mommy.
It is funny to see stores through a child's eyes.
I'm not sure what Shane saw in this next picture.
It's probably rather dark. Cats are good at hiding, so we had to check all of the cat trees at PetSmart.
You never know where there's a secret door to Narnia, I guess. We had a lot of fun visiting all of the reptiles, rodents, and fish, too. Shane even got to pet a bird. I couldn't take pictures due to a devious glint in Shane's eye. He only got his hand halfway into one of the fish tanks.
Afterwards, we went over to the international food mart. It's a neat experience. There are lots of demo stations to try different foods and tons of foods I'm unaccustomed to. I always tend to stand out with my bright red beard amongst the sea of black hair, too.
Carrie knew what she was looking for. We ended up with lots of goodies and supplies for a home-cooked feast.
We were out so long that we had no issue putting Shane down at his new nap time. Great success!
This post was so much fun! Who but you, Carrie and Shane could make Home Depot seem like Disney World to a young child! The part with Carrie and Shane in the shower was especially fun!
