Ummm..Ummm...We love Chick-Fil-A!!!

After settling in (if you can call it that) from a busy weekend in Fredericksburg we had some things to take care of Monday evening. We were in search of new car seats for the ever growing little man :) He has just about outgrown his infant carrier and we are sick of transferring the seat back and forth between our respective vehicles. On days that we drive separate and I am headed off to the gym or running errands after work I always seem to inevitably look in the rear view mirror and see the seat when it should be in Todd's car! AARRGG... Well not every time but enough that it has driven me nutz...;) So now that he is too big to carry in and out in the seat we really both need separate ones in our cars.

So after heading home to let the pups out we were off to the West End for our little shopping trip. Of course we needed to feed ourselves while we were out since time was of the essence. Where can you always get yummy food that is somewhat healthy, fantastic service, and a clean, friendly environment in a short amount of time, well Chick-Fil-A of course! If you know us at all you know that we love this place and pretty much, eat there about every week or so now that there is one in Mechanicsville. We also have Chick-Fil-A to thank for Todd and I getting together (and a few GREAT friends of course-Sarah!). We worked there back in high school in Fredericksburg and hit it off. That was the best job (at least in our book) for kids our age. You could have flexible hours, work with great friends, eat for free, make pretty good money (well it seemed good at the time :), , get a college scholarship, and have Sunday's off...pretty sweet deal, huh? I digress...so with our love of CFA you should know that Lucas would love it just as much, and boy he does!!! We decided to document our adventure Monday night to share with you all.


He devoured quite a few nuggets ( I think it was 3???) and even shared some with mommy! This is a new feat for him, sharing, that is. He did not want to share anything - toys, food, etc. a few weeks ago. He would get so mad if you tried to take anything from him, even when you asked nicely for him to "share". He has since then seemed to learn how great sharing can be, now he thinks it is so much fun!

Cheers! - This was in honor of the Fleming family (newly expanded)that got us hooked on this stuff, started our chicken "careers", and I guess our family :)! We had a great time with them this past weekend at Todd Fleming's wedding. Todd and Todd have been great friends since those days and he was in the wedding this past weekend. It was so great to catch up with old friends and share in such a special day for Todd and Rachel. We really enjoyed both the rehearsal and the wedding/reception. Lucas got to hang out and play with cousin Justin, Uncle John, and Grandpa Sexton Friday night. He was resting comfortably with Grandpa when we got back that night. On Saturday Lucas was in fantastic hands again at Aunt Kristi & Uncle Barrett's house. He played so hard with them and Grandma Schleigh that he was a tuckered out little guy when we picked him up Saturday night! He was dead asleep in Barrett's lap :)

We did pick out the new car seats but are headed back this weekend to get them after Lucas' one year picture appt. The GREAT sales clerk at Babies-R-Us ended up hooking us up with 30% off coupons that didn't start until today, so we will gladly save some money!!! This weekend will be pretty low key but busy as always. Lots of errands to run and things to do before the big birthday bash!!! Plus, I have to work in the AM, yuck! Not long though, just ~ 2hours which on one hand stinks since it takes me 30 min. to get there...but...Lucas and daddy get to have a fun morning together :)

Happy Friday and hope you have a great weekend! ;)
