What A Crazy Idea

Every night Coleman asks where we're going after breakfast. I knew it was supposed to rain so we wouldn't be able to go to a park, so I told him we could go play at the mall. When I said this I forgot that there were two shopping days left before Christmas and the mall would be a madhouse. A promise is a promise though. We had some other things to do first though. Here is what Spence looked like this morning:

He needed a haircut in the worst kind of way! I had been letting it grow to see how it would do, but it was just getting unruly. I wanted to keep some length, but have it look groomed, so Brian and I decided to try a bowl cut on him. It's pretty cute, I think.

After nap time, we headed to the mall. We parked 5 miles from the door, squeezed through the crowds, and found our way to the play area. I was stressed just being there. I can't imagine needing to find gifts! That's one thing I did right this year - I bought gifts early!

The camera battery died before I could get a good shot of Spence's haircut, but you can see it in some of the pictures from the mall.

This is the "stomp pad" they like to play on. There is a projector on the ceiling that projects different interactive games.


"Merry Christmas from the mall!"

Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you've gotten all your shopping done and can keep your distance from the malls tomorrow!
