{Half Day Friday}

Logan usually schedule's himself "Half Day Friday's" We love spending Friday's together and we always try to get out of the house and do something together. (Some weeks are more exciting then others.) Anyways, today was really fun! We went to downtown Portland. It was especially fun because it was chilly outside and it is starting to look all Christmasy! I finally got to wear my new coat! :o) We shared a peppermint hot chocolate, bundled Baylor up in his stroller, walked around, and did a little shopping. Oh... and we went out to eat.. TWICE. I'll explain later...They were in the process of putting the lights on the Christmas tree in Pioneer Square. They had the twinkly lights in all the other trees along the streets. YAY! I can't wait for CHRISTMAS! I love pushing a stroller. It's probably one of my favorite things about being a Mom. I love having my handy cupholders and compartments for my keys/cellphone and I love having a basket to store all of my stuff. I don't know how I ever went without a stroller... to think I used to have to carry my bags and hold my own cups...We had Baylor bundled up under two blankets. He looked so cute with his happy little face poking out beneath the blankets. He was so happy the whole time!
We went to BabyGap (My personal favorite store for baby clothes) and found him this cute striped thingy (I don't know what to call it) I love it though cause it's all one peice.. I'm so sick of socks falling off! Anyways, I think it's super cute so I had to get a picture :O)

Okay so the reason we went to dinner TWICE is because while we were in Portland we found this Wild Buffalo Wing place (I already forgot what it's called..) Logan said he used to go there in Vegas when he was on his mission and he LOVED it. We figured we might as well try it since we were there! Well it was disgusting so we didn't eat much. Thank goodness we shared anyways! Not too long after we went to Beach's to celebrate my friend Kathyrn's Birthday. We were planning on just getting dessert but since we didn't eat much of our first dinner we ordered food again (and dessert of course!) I've never gone out to eat twice in one night like that... so that was kinda weird, but fun. We shared both times so we didn't waste too much money. The second dinner was much better! Happy Birthday Kathryn! Oh and for the record... Baylor is keeping me awake so that is why I am posting this at 2:00 AM!

That sounds like a lot of fun! I love to walk around Portland. I wish I could like hot chocolate right now. I hate chocolate right now though. Weird huh! Baylors a cutie. Both my kids didn't sleep through the night till 6 months. So one more month hopefully or he's just having a growth spurt. Fun Fun
