Today was a wonderful, family, randomness filled Saturday. If only every day could be like this!
We woke up earlier than I'd hoped after our late night. After sitting around, slowly waking up for a while, I started on some laundry, cleaned up the kitchen, and we all ate some breakfast. The girls were playing together so well again today, and it's beyond great to see that. I think the more Amelia fights back, and stands up for herself, the better their relationship will be. I think Olivia is starting to realize that she can't just push Amelia round as much anymore, and, more importantly, I think she's realizing how much fun having a sister around can be. FINALLY, progress!!
The morning was pretty much just spend doing laundry, cleaning up and hanging out. Nothing too exciting. We had some lunch, and the girls were down for their naps. Christian and I spent the next hour or so claiming we were going to go shower and get ready before finally getting off our lazy butts and actually getting ready.
Once the girls were up from their naps, we were off to the Mall of America to hang out for the evening. Amelia has outgrown her 6- month PJ's (which are all from Target), and I knew Carter's runs bigger than Target, so we stopped in to get some. 9-12 month PJ's are just too big still, but she should be able to wear the Carter's 6-9 month until it's colder and she can move up to the 9-12 month winter jammies Olivia had. Such a pain!! After that we stopped into The Disney Store. Olivia decided to get a Princess Lunch Bag (to use to carry around all of her princesses, LOL) and Amelia fell in love with a stuffed Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh is the first thing she's ever showed any real interest in, so YAY! We finally have something to spoil her with! Next up, dinner at the food court! And, finally Nickelodeon Universe. I had some points left from our last trip there, so Olivia took a spin on the Carousel. Then, used up the rest of them on the SpongeBob Bounce House...going in over and over again. LOL, whatever keeps them happy!
And with that, we were on our way home with two full, spoiled and exhausted girls. They took a nice long bath, and then were off to bed. Christian was then off to have a couple beers with a friend, so I was left to a nice, quiet house, all to myself! What a way to end a wonderful day!
