Good day… and only spent $1

The kids slept until 7:30… which was GREAT, since I had stayed up past midnight reading Twilight. We got up and going. Then headed to the mall. We got there around 10, just as Starbucks opened. I got my favorite Americano, and we headed to the play area.

We got to the mall play area almost every Sunday morning. The mall doesn’t “officially” open until noon. So, there are usually only a few parents who have discovered my secret others there. The kids can run walk through the mall without bothering anyone. I highly recommend it for a sanity keeper way for the kids to get energy out.

We played with a friend. Then headed to the food court for a lunch of chicken and apples. We came home for the kids to nap.

They woke. We played. We watched a Yo Gabba Gabba. Then, we packed up and headed to Harris Teeter.

There I got a $1 movie from Redbox. The kids got balloons, cheese samples, and a cookie (all FREE). Then we went out to the covered walks. They ran from one end of the strip to the other. We did this for about 30 min. I’m sure I got SOME exercise out of it too!

We came home. As we got out of the van, B stepped in a puddle. It cracked her up. So she and Z proceeded to jump and play in the puddles for about 5 minutes (Of course I had to video tape some! lol). We came in, I stripped them down, and they immediately went into the tub.

After bath they ate, we skyped with hubby, and did our bed routine.

Our day was pretty uneventful, but the kids had a blast. They smiled a lot… and I smiled a lot. There was a lot of happiness today. And that is all that matters.
