A Big Bucket

Now I know why we don't sleep in the bed with this bed hog. We have a full size bed, and I slept on the outside 2 inches all night last night!
 
Avery Claire LOVED the beach Monday, so I had high hopes that she would jump in that sand the next day and play away. Ha! I knew better!
At first, she walked around and stopped and wanted her feet washed off. She couldn't figure out why she would wash them off and then the sand would just stick to them again.

This boy, however, dug himself a hole {with the help of his mom}, and jumped right in that sand!
 
It took us about an hour, but we finally figured out how to fix the problem - we stuck her in a big bucket!!
Last night, we headed to eat dinner at Lambert's {aka Hot Rolls} and had a long wait. So, we headed to Foley to shop for a bit. Chambless took Avery Claire to another favorite of his - Toys R Us!! Avery Claire headed straight for the buggies and strollers!
  And Chambless started making his Christmas list!
Look at the monkeys we had in the backseat!
After we ate, we headed to Target!
 
Three of us got coffee, and one of us got a pretend cup!
 
You wouldn't have known Avery Claire's cup had pretend coffee, considering she didn't fall asleep last night until 12:30. Maybe it was the sweet tea she drank at dinner, but I think it was just that she was so excited and so tired and afraid to miss something!
