Today was another very packed day!
The girls slept a little later than usual after their long, busy day yesterday. We were in the middle of breakfast when I got the phone call from my visiting friends that they were packed up and ready to meet at the Mall of America for our final get together. So, we quickly ate, got ready and hustled over to the mall.
We spent a couple of hours in Nickelodeon Universe. The kids went on a few rides, and the mom's did too!!! I NEVER get to go on rides because Christian doesn't like them, so it was nice to get to go on some for a change. We went on two roller coasters, and I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time. So fun! Olivia still had no interest in rides, so I just took the girls on the Carousel. Amelia LOVED it, she laughed the whole time. At least Olivia will go on something!
We all grabbed a little lunch, and then the dreaded time had come...it was time to say goodbye to my friends. I'm not the most sentimental person in the world, but I did have to fight back some tears when we said our goodbyes. It's so exciting planning these get togethers, it's so amazing when you are in the midst of them, but it's REALLY hard when it's time to say goodbye, not knowing when, or if you'll ever see them again. I know a lot of people may not really get the whole "online friends" thing, but we bonded over something so amazing in our lives, and we're so close...it felt really nice having the here, in person.
After ripping myself away from then, we were off to Christian's parents' for dinner. The girls took their naps when we got there, Christian and his dad worked on the snow blower for a while, his mom prepared some food, and I just sat there, kind of depressed. LOL. After eating and hanging out for a while...the girls were playing, and of course, injury ensued. Christian and his mom were standing in the hallway, not paying attention, and Amelia fell down a couple of stairs. It wasn't a long fall, but she hit her head on the pack n' play at the bottom of the stairs, and her nose was bleeding. I was NOT happy, not one bit. I immediately packed up the girls, and off we went. Accidents happen, but it's not OK when there are TWO adults standing right there...maybe if said adults hadn't been drinking, they could have been more attentive.
Vent over. Super annoyed. At least she's OK.
Here are some pictures of our day.
