Weekend Madness

Mom, Sam and Ava were on their own this weekend so we decided to go on an exciting adventure Saturday morning....if you call the local mall exciting!  
 
First Stop... transportation at the mall.  
This went over well and kept them contained, which is critical....we definitely were not keeping a low profile driving this thing around.
I was actually thinking it's a good thing I don't worry about being cool anymore (...or really trying to shop b/c this does NOT turn on a dime!)


 Second stop...quarter rides on another fire truck.  This is their favorite one at the mall.


Third stop... we actually cruised by center court as it was Day 1 of Santa in the mall.  I questioned who would be doing that on the first half of November... but let me tell you... LOTS of people!  Sam and Ava were excited to see all the decorations and snowmen and even Santa from a distance.

Fourth stop.. the playground in the mall.  They had fun playing on the slides and plastic creatures.  Ava loved the canoe and for over half the time, just sat in the back of it... chillin... 


Fifth and final stop.. McDonalds (Gross!). I think they were most excited for the juice.
All in all, pretty fun adventure in their minds.  After lunch, we parked the ginormous fire truck and headed home for naps! 


After naps, the kids had so much fun playing with play doh.  This was after moms failed attempt at making "cloud dough" from Pinterest... ran out of conditioner to mix with the corn starch so started adding shampoo... lets just say... not good!

  

Cute picture of Ava.
Ava has been talking a lot more.
Her three very favorite and often repeated phrases:

1. No Mommy!
2. No Daddy!
3. Go Away! 


She is a girl who knows what she wants.  it cracks me up lately because every morning when i get her out of her crib - literally lifting her out (and she's a happy camper in the morning), she always immediately has a demand... "Bo on the Go" or "Yo Gabba" or "Applesauce" or "Chocolate" (That was right after halloween)... but it is something every morningPretty funny... I can barely get in a "Good Morning"
