Super Sunday!

Well, it was Superbowl Sunday and we had a GREAT one! However, our day had absolutely nothing to do with football. After hearing a great message on a tough subject (marriage/divorce) at church this morning and getting my baby fix in the nursery it was off to CoralRidge for a fun day with the kids. It was kids day today so no shopping for me, but we all had the urge to just get out this afternoon. So after lunch at the Panda Express (the kids' favorite) and a ride on the carosel, it was to Build A Bear we went. We have gotten beyond the actual making of the bears (we have several of them) so now we just ACCESSORIZE!!! After today's shopping trip for the bears they now have new outfits, hats, a purse, belts, some hair pieces and a new bed to sleep in. (Please let this phase end SOON!!!) The next stop was for Crocs. The kids seemed to think they both needed another pair so Creighton picked out orange and Colby got another pair of blue (a slightly different shade then she already has, UGH!!) I have yet to see what Creighton looks like in his bright orange rubber shoes. Adorable, I'm sure! About this time it was about Creighton's nap time and it was starting to show so out the door we headed. At one point I asked Colby where her Build A Bear bag was and by the look on her face, I knew it wasn't good. So back in we went and backtracked through the mall trying to figure out where she left the bag and lo and behold it was at the croc store. Lucky her. As a matter of fact, last time we were at the mall she left her purse in the restroom. Her heart sank when we went back and it wasn't there. So I gave it a long shot and checked at lost and found and there was her little pink purse with all money still in it's place. So she has gotten lucky twice now. Hope she doesn't expect these perfect endings all of the time! By this time, Creighton was too tired to trek back through the mall so I perched him on my hip with all the bags, etc. and we again attempted to get out the door. However, the carosel was calling their names so I gave in to one last ride. And then, at last, we were in the car headed to home sweet home...... Posted by Picasa
