The outlets are open!!!

Yes, I know.  People are CRAZY about the outlets that have just opened in Mebane...Well, I'm a little bit embarrassed to admit that WE are some of those crazy people.  I mean, to give you a little background about us to explain, here goes:  We moved about a mile from Southpoint Mall a week before finding out that we were pregnant with Chase, which led to shopping being one of our favorite pasttimes.  Fast-forward 2 1/2 years and we've started getting a little tired of Southpoint.  (Nordstrom Rack has spiced up our lives quite a bit, but still).  At any rate, we decided to venture out last weekend to see what all the fuss was about.

One of our first stops was The Children's Place.  We found a cute, affordable hat for Chase to wear since it was freezing outside.  He got a little stir-crazy from just riding around in his stroller (he'd much rather be running around any day), so we let him out.  He immediately crawled under this table and made himself at home on this little shelf.

"Mama??  I'm TIRED of all this shopping.  I'd rather be outside PLAYING.  Are you DONE yet???"

So, not long after we realized that Chase was DONE, we found this cute little carousel right outside that costs $1 for 3 kids to ride for a few minutes...Chase was IN HEAVEN.  See for yourselves:

See what I mean??  So happy.  :)
