In our continuing saga of negotiating life while living in two cities, last weekend we hit the road and met in Des Moines. Nana Diane was graduating from her Master's program, so Uncle Rusty made the 5 hour drive with me, Cate and Timmy. He earned his uncle stripes on that ride, let me tell you. The nose wiping alone was a daunting task as Timmy has had a cold for two weeks now. Tim flew in from Phoenix just after we arrived and we got to spend the weekend together.
On Saturday we went to the mall to ride the train and see the Christmas decorations. Cate and Timmy loved the train ride.
We talked about Santa all the way to the mall. Cate was very excited to get a look at him and to tell him what she wants for Christmas (a new FANCY kitchen and a new bucket of Halloween candy because hers is gone). Never for one second did I think that she would get near Santa...and she didn't. I had to hold her as we got close to the line, but she watched intently while other kids rattled off their wish lists.

We did admire the decorations and lights that led to Santa and then of course, we made a visit to the play area.
We are so excited to get ready for Thanksgiving and to have Tim home for 5 days!
