A day at the mall....

Made it to the mall today. We made an attempt to go shopping but that was quickly dissolved when Andrew and Sweet C were climbing on the detectors at the front of the store to make sure you are not stealing anything...We weren't stealing anything just our kids thought it was a jungle gym. Not a good start.

We got off to a slow start and didn't get to the mall until noon. So we headed off to the food court. As some of you know I have my Chick-fil-a obsession since leaving Texas I have to have it once I am back. So needless to say I got a chick-fil-a sandwich. Yum!

So after lunch we let the kids ride the merry go round in the mall. Okay.. they rode it 4 times. They had fun and I am glad Robert is able to go around and around and not get sick on the thing. NOT ME.

After the merry go round we head to go ice skating. Get our skates on and everyone has to get off the ice for the Zamboni to clear the ice. Nice great timing again. By the time it was done and they were allowing people on the ice my feet were already killing me. Make it to the ice with Drew and Sammie, and I am crying by the time I get to the first corner of the ice rink. Sammie and I were hanging on to the wall. I just wanted her to get use to the ice. By the time I was half way around the rink with sammie I was done! My feet were not letting me do a thing. Now I have tears in my eyes from the pain from the skates. RObert took Drew around the rink a couple of times...man..Robert is a trooper. I had to get off the ice and take off the darn skates. I was done. But Robert was able to get Drew around a couple of times then Drew was done. Then Sammie's turn...it was good she did a great job. By this time Sweet C and Lola were at the ice rink too. I took Drew's skates and put them on Sweet C and sent her to her dad. Poor RObert had to stay on the ice with all the kids. But overall they had fun...and isn't that was the whole thing is about...the kids?

We make it home and right before bed Robert says...my stomach hurts...I ask ..is it something you ate...no just from ice skating with the kids. Great ab workout...ice skating with the kids. Try it sometime...just don't fall on the ice.

Have a great day. Having fun in Texas! Keep yall posted on our everyday ordinary life. Love ya.

We made it to Texas....Merry Christmas

We made it to Texas. Yesterday was wonderful and in the 60's. The kids played outside and had a great time.
Today...cold and it is snowing. It never snows in Texas. Oh well. Maybe we will have a white Christmas. Had a great dinner with mom, dad and Jubert. Kids are taking a bath and getting ready for bed and waiting for Santa. I will make sure I take lots of pictures. Party at my cousin's house for lunch...Merry Christmas.
