A Morning At The Mall

This morning the boys and I went to Westfield Mall for a couple hours just to get out of the house. They played in the little PlayTown area for awhile and then we walked over to see the carousel and get ice cream at Runza. Afterwards we just walked around the mall since there is so much to see...it was a nice break from the usual.

After nap we read library books for awhile and then spent the rest of the afternoon in the backyard. They kept so entertained out there by themselves, I was actually able to clean up the kitchen before Noah got home! It was very nice. I kept the screen door open because they were having such a great time walking up the steps into the house, and then back down the steps outside again. It must have jogged Nolan's memory because he started pretending to be the bunnies in one of his stories. There's a part where the Mommy Bunny opens up the screen door to call her baby bunnies into the house for dinner. The babies all say, "Can't we stay outside just a little bit longer?" And so Nolan would run to the door and peek inside saying, "Can't we stay outside for just a little longer?" And so I pretended to be the Mommy Bunny and said, "Just for a couple more minutes, Little Bunny!" This happened probably 15 times. He was really entertained by it too! :)



Each in their respective cars.





Eating ice cream!




Awww...Love this.




"Steady, steady..."




Nolan did NOT want his brother on his side of the trolley...of course that didn't stop Carson from climbing over anyway!




This has become a favorite hang-out spot...it's gotten bad!




But they're hugging!! How can I get mad?




Kisses.




I just love this kid's teeth!
