Ethan and Mommy's day out

Ethan and mommy had a great afternoon out of the house today! We've been cooped up for the past couple days with -25 degrees air temps. and colder with wind chill. (School was cancelled again today!) So, I checked the weather at 1:30 today and it was 0 degrees. Good enough for us!

First, we went to visit Ethan's hair stylist, Carol, and get his hair cut. She was really good with him as always, although he really does not dig having his hair cut. Therefore, mom shamelessly brought along an endless supply of skittles, juice, and teddy grahams.
Here are the final results, and as you can see he is just ticked, despite having a mouth full of goodies. Even the cool duck he gets to sit on does not amuse him.

Next, we took a trip to the car wash where mom's car got a thorough cleaning inside and out. I LOVE the feeling of driving a clean car! Ethan was really being good, so I decided to venture to the mall with him - something I usually do not do, especially alone - but we really needed to get a birthday gift for daddy (his b-day is Sunday).

Ethan was so good at the mall, I could not believe it! It took a little hunting to find the right gifts for daddy and E. was pretty patient. Then we went to the play area but after only about 10-15 min. Mommy smelled something not pleasant coming from his diaper, so we had to leave and he didn't even whine.

A successful outing!

Tomorrow the whole family is heading to LaCrosse for a special outing to daddy's favorite guitar store. Then, mom and dad got a sitter and have a date planned for tomorrow night!
