Took the kids to the mall today. Please explain to me why I thought this was a good idea. Gale force winds. Chance of sleet. Anyway…
Lily told me, “Thank you, Mommy, for letting me eat.”
Um, you’re welcome?! A couple of awkward stares and stifled snickers from parents who have been there.
She followed it up with, “All those yummy things.”
“Those yummy things” being a cookie decorated like a piece of pizza from Blondie’s Cookies and a pretzel dog from Auntie Anne’s.
Oh, now I remember why we went. I knew she would love it.

I also feel the urge to take my children to the mall on a cold rainy day, maybe it’s because I feel they can get some exercise at the indoor play area and we can both get some medium level of social interaction… only trick is avoiding spending any $$$ 🙂
Hahaha! I saw that ours has a little play area, but definitely not worth the drive. As for avoiding spending money, it didn’t work so well. My son tossed his cookie all over, so I had to get him new jammies. And, he did this in Children’s Place. Glad they always have clearance!!!
