With our recent bout with illness and it being a balmy 2 degrees outside, all.the.time. I can say that the kids and I have not left the house in what feels like weeks although its probably only been a week. So we ventured out for our first outing on Wednesday. Where do you go when its cold out and you live in our town? Well I'll be honest there aren't a lot of options. In fact I could only think of one...The mall.
Can I say that the mall is no longer just a place for old ladies and juvenile delinquents the mall is a happenin' place for three year olds and their desperate mommies everywhere. I don't know why nobody told me sooner.
The mall has rides...
And snacks...
And a play area, where if you go before three p.m. your kid won't get clobbered by any big kids that are definitely over the height resriction (yeah you know who you are).
There is also a great fountain that you can throw pennies into. Little Man LOVES to throw his money in the fountain.
Even a Baby Bug enjoys having new things to look at.
And if your a lucky mommy when you leave this magical retail emporium this...
and this...
will be the result, and may you just have to drive around the block a few extra times to revel in the quiet (that you know will be over the minute the car turns off) before going home.

We love the mall!!! But you're right, go before 3pm...you still get the mall walkers, but they don't get in the way TOO much, and you miss the delinquent teens (and dare I say pre-teens as well) who terrorize toddlers everywhere. I love all the pics.
by-the-way, I had to spell "gass" to get this to post. :) (maybe there is still a little "delinquent teen" in me because I chuckled as I typed those letters.)
