We got to the mall right around 10:30 and I was so excited to let Maeve loose in the play area, but when we got there it was PACKED. In fact, I over heard a few moms talking and apparently there were at least 2 different play groups there- so yeah... that thing was at its capacity. I felt so bad for Maeve- we drove that whole way and she could barely do a thing. Every time she'd try and climb up the slide some bigger kid would come and knock her down... or she'd crawl under the bridge thingy and a kid would jump off the side of it and land on her (that happened like 3 times and it was driving me MAD...errrrr). And her favorite thing to do there is drive the airplane- never, not once did this kid get out of the thing. Maeve kept running over to it and I would say pretty loudly to try and give this clueless mother a hint, "Its HIS turn right now. We have to wait." THINKING that she'd get her kid out and let someone else have a turn driving it... maybe I'm just being super ornery but my gosh, it was a complete madhouse and just about every kid in there (besides Maeve of course :) was bugging me. I let her run as much as she could for 20-25 minutes and then strapped her back in the stroller and did a quick run to Old Navy. I STOCKED UP!!! Old Navy was having a baby sale on all of their clearanced items- you got to take an EXTRA 50% off any clearanced thing... so I got 3 turtlenecks, each for $1.69, 2 pairs of sweat pants, each for $1.99, a pair of PJs for $3-something, 2 shirts for $2-something, 2 fleece sweatshirts for $4-something and 2 pairs of leggings for like 49 cents each! ALL in 2T & 3T- we have a pretty good start for next fall/winter :) After shopping at O.N. we got her fave. mall snack- pretzels and lemonade... and headed BACK home for lunch. So it was a super quick trip- if that playland weren't so crowded it would've been more productive. But it was still a nice morning.
I just put her down for her nap... and after she wakes up I think we're gonna make a trip to Westwood mall (here in town) b/c I still have a 20% off coupon for gymboree & its gymbucks time!!! :) So that's why I'm calling today a "girls day"- pretty much a full day of shopping... which I hope one day, Maeve will come to actually enjoy. I'm confident she will :)
I only snapped up one pic. from today b/c it was wayyyy too crazy to get my camera out while she was playing...
This is MaeMae eating her pretzel... on our way back home from shopping :) It's kinda gross but I dip her sticks in cream cheese and she just licks it off... eccch. But she likes it a LOT :)
