Quick Get-a-way

This weekend Joe and I decided to take a quick trip to the outlet mall in Howell and to Cabela's. We were going to take Layla with but since Joe's parents were willing and able to watch her we figured that'd be easier! Plus this could be one of our last trips alone before Baby comes since I'm not sure how long I'll be able to travel (which by the way I'm pretty sure I've been feeling move lately!). It was nice to have some time away and spend some money:-). We arrived in Howell Friday night just in time to have about 30 minutes at the mall--all spent at Layla's favorite outlet--Gymboree:-). Then we stayed in Howell overnight right next to the mall at the Holiday Inn and hit the mall in the morning until about lunch time. We found lots of good deals--mainly for Joe and Layla--shopping for maternity clothes just isn't as fun, although there is Motherhood Maternity Outlet there that I did find a couple of things at.
Here I am squinting into the sun for a quick pic before heading to Dundee...

We stopped for lunch on the way and arrived at Cabela's around 2:30 (about an hour drive from Howell). We didn't end up leaving Cabela's until after 6:30!! That was a long time in that store! There weren't too many good deals, but we did find some stuff (yes, even I found some stuff--mainly outdoorsy decorations for our basement and such--and Joe found some hunting items he had been wanting).

Layla was SUPER tired today from her big day at Grandma and Grandpa's. I knew right away when she woke up at 8 that she was still sleepy. Then this is what I found her doing as we were about to leave for church (that footstool is there for her so that she can get on and off the chair--and yes, that is Elv's leash she was carrying around--gross, I know).

Layla then started getting tired and crabby in nursery (I was in with her today) and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car. Of course then she didn't go right to sleep when we brought her in the house, but she did shortly after that. She is now on her third nap of the day (fourth if you include her nap in the car earlier) so she's pretty much been sleeping since we got home at 11:30! I think maybe she's teething too because she's been drooling like crazy today. Her head also feels pretty warm. Hopefully it's just sleepiness and teeth!
I tried to get a picture of Layla with her new shot gun (a toy of course), but she doesn't seem to want anything to do with it:-(.
We had a great weekend away and are so thankful that Joe's parents could take care of Layla! Otherwise she'd be even more tired and crabby today had she been on the go all day yesterday!! :-)
