Valentine's Day w/ the kids




On Saturday I took the girls to the mall to meet up w/ Danielle and her little ones. She told me that there was going to be a big sandbox in the middle of the mall for kids. I thought it sounded fun. My girls haven't seen sand since we went to Ca. in July. The hard part was dressing them. How do you dress a kid for sand when it's 30 degrees outside. So I dressed them as light as I could. Either way they didn't seem bothered. Alexa didn't even want to take her shoes and socks off. Charlie looked confused at first but slowly sat down and never wanted to be bothered or taken out. Meanwhile the best part of the day, Danielle's son Issac decided to strip down to his T-shirt and underwear. I guess he thought we were going swimming too. But it was the funniest thing. So we just rolled up the kids pants and let them go. It was hard getting Alexa and Issac not to throw sand but they did good majority of the time. Charlie and Addison just sat in the corner playing together majority of the time then ventured away from eachother. Charlie was content playing even by herself. She looks so lonely playing by herself, but she wasn't complaining. She didn't cry until I took her out of the sandbox. Alexa ventured from kid to kid playing w/ whoever was close by. They kept watering the sand w/ this tiny hose thing for some reason. That's where Issac was most of the time, filling up his bucket and making "mud"....his words. Since they kept watering the sand the babies were all wet when we picked them up and the sand seemed to sick just as much as at the beach. Overall the kids had fun, and that's what's important.









When we were done I was going to get Charlie's ears pierced. She has a crazy mullet going on, and the day before I put her hair in pigtails, so Anthony suggested that I finally get her ears pierced to look complete as a girl. So I told Danielle and she decided to get Addison's ears pierced too. Charlie went first and was good until they pierced her first ear then she got wiggly and a little whinny. As soon as I picked her up when they were done she was totally fine. Addison cried once they started marking her ears but stopped as soon as Danielle picked her up. So for Valentine's Day our girls got their first set of jewely. Great memories and lots of fun. Sorry no pictures of the ear piercing is was a sweaty enough situation w/ out including trying to take pictures.
