guns,Car seats and piggy paint... What a weekend!

Michael and I had a really awesome time together at the Lodi Grape Festival. It was so much fun spending some time with just him! Plus, Maddie was good for my parents while they watched her. She has stayed with both sets of grandparents now and been fine! She has come a LONG way! 

 on Saturday we went to the gun room in Elk Grove to check out hand guns and to look at hunting shot guns for Michael. That was the VERY FIRST TIME I've EVER held a gun and It made me extremely nervous. :O I got the handbook for the safety test you have to pass to buy one and its basically just common sense. We are going back to rent a couple guns so I can shoot them there and see what one I feel comfortable with :)

Who would have thought I would be willing to go shoot guns?! NOT ME! BUT I spend A LOT of time home alone with my kids, and I need something to protect me and them god forbid anything were to happen. We also looked at the gun safes to keep it in locked and away from the kids. I have NO problem with people owning guns if they properly store them with the safety on and AWAY from a child where they can NOT be accessed. 

We also went to a baby store in Elk grove that carry's a car seat that I wanted for Madison. I was REALLY interested in the Sunshine Radian XTSL. BUT our babies R' Us doesn't carry it in the store and I really wanted to see what I was buying. This car seat is AWESOME. It's very narrow, but its a tank! Its steel re-enforced and extremely safe. Madison can also rear face for much longer. We love this car seat so much we ordered one for Brandon too!

 

I also got Maddie some Piggy Paint finger nail polish!!!!! Its as natural as mud and is non-toxic, odorless and baby friendly! We got "Forever Fancy" and "Girls Rule." I painted her toes when she was sleeping and they look SOOOOOOOOOO cute! I could seriously eat her little toes up!

When she wakes up I'll try and get some pictures of them :)
