Taylors day with Grandma




Today, Taylor and I spent the day together. We started off going to Walmart, where she talked me into buying her a new Dora Backpack (her mom told me later that she just got an Elmo backpack).

Then she talked me into buying some Halloween Oreo's, that girls got me wrapped around her little finger. After Walmart we went house hunting with papa and then she wanted to go to Wendy's, so guess what? I took her to Wendy's, now she is happily watching Dora, after I looked for Dora on TV for half an hour, her mom called and said "oh mom its right on Nick Jr!" Duh, I knew that!
