Arizona Day 3

The title I wanted was too long:  Arizona Day 3:  Hobby Lobby, Schools, Groceries, More Food, Thanksgiving and Christmas in April and a Little Trivia
So sorry for the delay in between blog posts.  I've been doing something crazy lately and trying to get a full night's sleep.  Imagine that!  Better do it while I can because in another two weeks or so work gets crazy again for a few weeks.  Anyway, let's get back to the Arizona trip.  I didn't take too many (any?) pictures on Day 3.  In the morning, we went to a park with a Splash Pad so Natalie's children could have some fun and enjoy the water.  Her husband came too.  I think the kids had fun.  There were quite a few people there.  Then after lunch, I got to see the school where her oldest son goes for pre-school (we took him to pre-school). I'm such a dork, but I kind of enjoyed that.  Then we went to Hobby Lobby.  My friend Natalie has mentioned this store multiple times in her blog posts so I was quite intrigued and eager to see this place.  I'd never been to one.  I can see why she likes it.  I do believe we spent over an hour there and I'm sorry to say we were a couple of minutes late to pick up her son.  :-(  It wasn't on purpose.  There were tons of people buying stuff and the check out lady was not too quick.  I go all the way to AZ and what do I buy (in addition to the sweater I'd bought the previous day in ARIZONA  IN APRIL--who does that?!) I bought stamps--not postage stamps, decorative ones--for THANKSGIVNIG and CHRISTMAS.  Did I mention that it was April?!  My mother is big into stamping, she makes cards, etc.  She makes cards for everything.  She gave me a St. Patrick's Day card.  I've never received a Thanksgiving card from her (at least not that I can remember, but who does Thanksgiving cards?) so as a bit of a joke, I bought her Thanksgiving stamps so she can make Turkey Day cards.  :-)  One year (and one year only) I made my own Christmas cards.  My mom has told me I should do this again.  Well, on a whim, I bought Christmas stamps and have decided I will make my own Christmas cards this year.  Let's see if I feel the same way in November!  I may have to be like Mom and make them in July.  Now a trip to visit Natalie would not be complete without a trip to a grocery store (inside joke) so we also went to the grocery store that day as well as to Sonic for "happy hour" (one of the few times of the year I will drink a soda).  And that night's fabulous meal included:  broccoli salad, chicken roll ups, and strawberry chocolate chip cookies.  I THINK that was also the night we attempted to Skype with another friend of ours (which didn't go so well so we had to try Face Time, no luck there and finally found some success with another program, oh, the joys of technology!)  I created a trivia game for us to play, which was cheesy fun.  Well, at the rate I am going, you should be done reading about this trip by the end of June--aren't you glad I only went for 6 days?  And most of Day 6 was spent on a plane so maybe I'll be finished blogging about it by mid-June lol.
