Today was a rainy and gray day, so this afternoon we decided that we’d go to a mall after nap-time. We went to a mall about half an hour from our house. Well, actually, there are several malls within that distance, but this particular mall had three features that appealed to us the most – a Build a Bear Workshop, The Children’s Place and a really cool carousel to ride. Not to mention the food court AND a Nestle Tollhouse store near where we parked. WOO HOO! Our first stop was Build-a-Bear. This was the first trip for both girls to the B-a-B store. Both girls LOVED it!! Macey got the Cuddly Hugs bear in pink. She named her bear Cuddles. She also got a cute Hannah Montana outfit for Cuddles. Mariana got L’il Bunny Big Ears which she named Huggy Bunny. She also got a Hello Kitty Hawaiian outfit for her bunny. Aren’t those adorable?! The girls are just over the moon with their new animals. I’m sure they’ll be well loved. Macey already has a little “bed” (a pillow and baby blanket” in her room and Mariana has her bunny already in her bed. So cute!! And, I had a $5 off coupon from a box of Teddy Grahams, so that was nice too. Every little savings helps. After Build-a-Bear we went to The Children’s Place. I’m on a quest to find some jeans for Macey. This might seem like a simple enough quest, but so far it’s been a real challenge. Just about every pair of jeans I find for Macey in size 5 is too long for her, but 4s are too short. It’s SUCH a challenge to find jeans that fit her nicely. And, why do so many of them have such low rises?! Seriously. At TCP I got a pair of jeans to try for Macey. Also got th girls some matching froggy jammies (on sale) and a spring outfit for Macey. All with a 15% off coupon too. WOO HOO! We grabbed a quick supper at the food court and then rode the carousel. The girls LOVED the carousel. Mickey and the girls got treats at the Nestle Tollhouse store on the way out of the mall. They went on to the van and I shopped at Dillard’s since they have 40% off clearance right now. Well, as usual, big department stores overwhelm me. It’s just too much. Too spread out. Something. I don’t know. Anyway, I did see some cute things, but didn’t buy anything. Now we are home. The girls have had their baths and have had their hair washed. They are wearing their new froggy jammies from TCP too. And, they are waiting on me to come brush their hair. So, off I go. We may get snow here tomorrow. Wouldn’t that be FUN?! G’night, Kelly PS: The TCP jeans are long on Macey. ACK! Any suggestions on jeans??
