we go stir crazy, yes we do!

with winter still bearing down upon us, penn and i are often on the hunt for fun/free things to do around town. i actually googled 'free things for kids in charlotte' the other day when i had drawn a blank on what we could plan for the week. thankfully i was given an ample list of options to start working on!

today we decided to check out number one on said list of options. Imaginon. it's a very kiddo friendly library and theater here in charlotte, and it sounded right up our alley. they do children's story time there, but penny is still too young for that (it starts at 18 months) so we just went for a couple hours in the middle of the afternoon. it was surprisingly empty, with the exception of one small 1st grade field trip, so penn was really able to explore everything without getting trampled. we had a great afternoon there, and will definitely be adding this to the 'what to do on cold/rainy days' list.

and now,  as a random end note for you... ya see that there scratch on penny's lower cheek/jaw? well let me tell ya a little something about that. we were at the playground the other day and a little boy walked right up to her and grabbed her cheek so hard he cut her! there's a cut under her eye too, but you can't really see that one. man, i've never hated a two year old before, but i kinda wanted to punch him. those protective mama emotions are something fierce!
