Lathams News: DAY THREE AND WE HAD MORE ADVENTURES IN STORE...

This morning whilst Willow came shopping with me Max stayed home with Steve. He really wanted to make a camp fire, so he spent quite a bit of time in our garden looking for sticks to make his fire, He collected them all and then set the sticks up on our front landing right in the door way. Steve helped him lay it all out... He wanted Steve to light it for him, but somehow Steve managed to convince him that it would not be a good idea to do that. He suggested that they raid one of Moppy's drawers to see if they could find something to make a make believe fire and found some cellaphone in one of my drawers. Max was so excited and the fired ended up staying on our front porch for the whole time they were home with us,

Meanwhile whilst these guys were at home pretending to make camp fires, Willow opted to come with me to my Nail appointment... I also wanted to take her to get a haircut, so we headed down to Allenstown Plaza to my hairdresser to see if she could fit her in for a trim this morning. She was able but it meant we would have to wait for 20 minutes first. Whilst we waited we ducked into the Reject Ship to pick up a few supplies for Christmas. Willow found a toy mobile phone that she wanted so we splurged out and paid $3 for it. She was thrilled as it had buttons to push and also made a ringing noise. Whilst we were in the cheap shop, Willow also helped me pick out some cheap gifts to wrap for our Pakalegge game we were planning to play on Christmas Day..

Just had her hair cut and showing up her toy mobile phone,...

One her hair was cut, we then took off to go to my nail appointment. I was having my fingernails done for Christmas.... She was fascinated by watching the lady making my gel nails and watched intently through the whole process evening asking me if she could use my phone and take some photos....

Some of my Christmas earrings....

She was fascinated watching the lady build out my nails and even had a few questions she wanted answered.

The finished product

By the time my nails were done, it was lunch time, so Willow and I drove over to Shopping Fair to have some lunch as then we wouldn't be too far from where we had to meet Steve and Max who were meeting us so that we cold all go to the movies in the afternoon.

Willow with all her shopping..

One of the other things that Willow really wanted to get was a pair of Christmas ear rings. She had her ears pierced for her birthday and Christmas Day was the first day she was going to be able to change her ear rings, so she wanted some Christmas ear rings to wear. We dropped into Lovista and she fell in love with a little pair of elves. I did wonder whether they were a little big for her, but she had her heart set on them so in the end we splurged out and bought them.

We had decided to walk to the Cinema's as they were in the grounds of the shopping centre. On our way through the shopping centre we stopped off at H&M and I found a lovely skirt and top for myself and a lovely tulle and sequined dress for Willow, so we happily handed over our money and then headed straight to the cinema before we got ourselves into any more strife

We arrived before Steve and Max so just waited patiently for them until they turned up. Once Max saw Willow's little toy mobile phone he wanted one too. We ended up promising him that once the movie was over we would take him shopping to see if we could get him one also. Steve went and bought the tickets for us and we all went in.

We ended up going to see "Playmobil the Movie" as Sarah had already taken them to Frozen 2. Still this ended up being a pretty good movie with both children glued to the screen for the entire movie....

We also had the movie treats with chocolate, drinks and pop corn....

After the movie finished we headed back over to the shopping centre to see if we could find a toy mobil phone for Max. He wanted a pink one too, but in the end settled for a mainly silver and multi coloured one.
