Church, Mall and Carnival


Today was really fun. The boys and I went to church. While we were there, we bumped into several friends. My friend Amanda and I said a quick "Hi" in the hall as we were both late for the service. I still hadn't dropped Austin off at his class, so I had to boogie. But it was still nice to see her, nonetheless. Then, after service when Austin and I were picking up Danny, we bumped into my friend Carla and her daughter Samara. We talked for a while until Danny came and Danny was so excited to see that his friend was waiting for him. It was great seeing them again as we haven't seen them in quite a while.

After church, we went back home, got changed, grabbed Daddy and went to the mall to have lunch. Rajaa met us there and we went in. The plan was that we would go to Dragonfly for Chinese food and then shop. But, as we entered the mall, Danny decided that he wanted Panda Express and wouldn't change his mind for nothing. Even when I spotted our friends Melissa, Zachary, Donetta and Anna sitting in Dragonfly. I bribed him saying "Don't you want to go and sit with your friends?" He said, "No, I want Panda Express!" So, needless to say, we went to Panda Express.

After we ate, we went to The Disney Store and got them some Buzz Lightyear sunglasses and then off to Game Stop to look at some more games. Earlier, before we went inside the mall, we spotted a carnival and drove by to see if it was running. It wasn't so we went ahead and went to the mall. However, when we exited the mall, the carnival was in full swing and so we took the kids by.




At the carnival, the kids had a blast playing different games and winning prizes, as well as riding a ride. Our friends (Donetta, Anna, Melissa, and Zachary) were there too and it just made the kids' day that they were doing something fun like their friends. Danny got a free ride on the mini roller coaster because the guy was wanting to show us how fast the ride goes. However, Austin was too short (by an inch) and wasn't allowed on. Then, when we got tickets for the boys, they wanted to ride a boat ride with their friends. However, Austin again was too short (by an inch) and wasn't allowed on. Poor guy! He was truly bummed. We took the kids to a little car roller coaster to ride together and the operator let it go for a very long time. The kids had a great time. Since the carnival is in town until the 31st, Daddy promised the boys that we would go back several times so that they could ride different rides. They are so excited about that now!

After we left the carnival, we went to Randall's to pick up some groceries. Danny ended up slicing his hand pretty deep at the check out counter and started FREAKING OUT when the lady called to report his injury. He kept asking me, "Is she calling the cops?" I said no and then he asked "The Firefighters?" Again, I told him no.

At home, I made corn on the cob and the kids had a blast eating it on the swing set. Here are a few pics:

Great day! I hope yours was too.
