quality time

wednesday afternoon, as i sat reading a book {the frog prince by jane porter} in the sun, by the window, i stopped and listened. silence. ahhh much needed silence. much appreciated silence. ham was at drivers ed and kaylee had just left with nana aka mike's ma to spend the night in laporte. after picking up ham from drivers ed we headed to mishawaka to do some clothes shopping. went into hollister and ham found these shorts, a pair of blue jeans and a couple of t-shirts while i got this blouse even though i shouldn't have and some lotion and body spray.
.
and if i would have known that this sweater was at abercrombie, i would have gotten it too. i might have to make a trip back to the mall for it. {i love cardigan sweaters!}

went into pac sun and find nothing and that was the end of our shopping spree. {yep, ham only likes 2 stores}we did hit cinnabon for some cinnamon rolls for breakfast since there is nothing here to eat and we did grab dinner at chik f let or whatever its called. we need a chik f let around these parts of the woods. its yummy. even though i knew this before, ham really is a chronic complainer. he complains about everything and i did want to push him out of the car once or twice on the way there . but i also knew that he was kidding around. it was great being able to spend a little one on one time with him. he's really funny and smart and handsome. not sure if i've posted this before but with his hair the way it is now- he looks like his dad and the other night when he came downstairs to talk to me about something, he sounded just like him too. fortunately for me we haven't seen or heard from him in 9 years. unfortunately for ham.
