Mommy / Aiden Date Day

Jeffrey had to leave again this week for work, so Aiden and I went on a Mommy/Aiden date. We went to Dunkin Donuts for a special treat and then on to the grocery store to buy meat. It was a fabulous day. 

Starting out for the day. 

Aiden decided he LOVES donuts! 


Mama this is GOOD!!! 

We found this interesting...should I try the Purple Rice coffee???


At the fabulous foreign grocery store in town. Aiden loves to "drive the car"


I know these days with Aiden are precious and he won't be 2 forever. So we will take the days and cherish them while we can.

Cheap Fun Entertainment

This week is one of the dreaded ones here in China...an 8 day work week for our guys. "Working weekends" was not a concept we were told about until we arrived here. This is where they have to make up some of their holiday time by working over a weekend either before or after that specific holiday. Its not a fun situation, but we try to make the best out of it....well I guess Aiden and I do. Poor Jeffrey is stuck at work while we play. 

Since the majority of my friends here are in the same boat, we all get together to keep ourselves occupied and try hard not to think about the fact that it is the weekend. Today was no exception. We explored a mall that just opened, had a great lunch at a Korean BBQ place and braved the crowds at Auchon. Everything is better when you have friends to do it with. 

Checking out some of the fish selection. 

Lunch time goodness

Always open for new experiences. 
So grateful to have all of these wonderful ladies to do things with. But we are ready for our men to come home and join in the fun.
