Jamie left town yesterday morning to go to North Carolina to pick up a trailer. I decided to take the kids to the mall. It was so cold here that going outside was out of the question and it's been so cold all week they've been cooped up forever. So, getting out sounded good to all of us.
The first thing we did was play in the play area. At first they were the only kids there so they had the run of the place, which was nice. Soon more and more kids started showing up so it was time to leave. That, and Asher decided to take off running sock-footed toward the little island with the candy machines.
Then we went and got Asher's hair cut. He's had one professional cut but it was so long ago he doesn't remember. I usually buzz it, but I wanted to keep some of his length on top because it's winter. It ended up looking pretty cute. He was such a good boy sitting there, and Avery waited patiently.
Then it was Avery's turn. She went to get her nails done. Of course she picked out blue, and thought it was cool when the lady next to her started talking to her just like she was a big girl. Notice the crown, which Avery has made me start putting in her hair in the mornings.
After that, I gave each kid a quarter to put in the candy machines (they both got these disgusting little dog-boned shaped sugar candies) and then to Sbarro's for a piece of pizza.
Then, our usual ride on the carousel just before leaving (we have to do it last thing... it's my most valuable bargaining tool). Of course, we sent these to daddy who sent us a voice message telling us how much he misses all of us.
After getting home, Asher took a little nap on the couch while I sewed and Avery watched Peter Pan. We had tacos downstairs and watched Toy Story, then all went to bed with a nice, fun day under our belts.
