Plan B . . .

As is always the case, things NEVER turn out the way you plan, and this weekend was no exception.

The plan was to spend a sunny day at Happy Hollow with Susan, Sophia, Amy and Avery. Instead the rains came and being the very unprepared mother than I tend to be at times, I didn't pack anything but sandals, t-shirts and a light jacket for Tessa. Brilliant.

Plan B was going to the driest place we could think of.... the Hillsdale mall. Without going into too much detail, let's just say... NEVER again...

Wait! Maybe I'm being a little dramatic. I mean we did accomplish mostly the same things. Instead of a nice picnic in the sunshine... we had Spanish rice that tasted Chinese in the food court. (Right Susan?) Instead of looking at cute animals we checked out the cute new styles of children's sketchers. And instead going on the fun amusement rides... the girls got to be escorted around all afternoon in their strollers. So, now that I think about it... it was practically the same day.


Here are some random pics from the weekend...



Sophia was such a good hostess, she shared all her toys with Tessa.

Bath time.



Avery is one tough cookie. This picture was taken just a few minutes after her face met Susan's coffee table. She only cried for a minute and then it was back to play as usual.
