After Yoga, I surprised the kids with a trip to Franklin Mills Mall and then Chuck E Cheese's. We walked the entire length of the mall, stopping in practically every store and touching everything... Normally I'm always yelling at the kids to "get off of that" or "stop touching that", but today I was like whatever.. We even went into Nieman Marcus and tried on 300$ shirts, and $200 jeans.. it was hilarious seeing Zoe in a pair of jeans that cost $160.
Before going to Chuck E Cheese we went to Olive Garden. We have been promising Zoe Olive Garden for ever, and decided on a whim to go and eat lunch. She was as surprised.. Miles, well he was asleep... More like knocked out.
We gave Zoe Five one dollar bills and Miles got two and we let them run amok for an hour. They ran from game to game tossing the skeeball up the ramp, whacking the mole upon his head, jumping on the dance thingy, trying to get the ball into the basket ball hoop. They had so much fun. All on 7 dollars. 60 minutes later we were standing in line counting our tickets (259 of them total) trying to figure out what prizes to choose. Zoe got a slinky, a laffy taffy, a tic-tack-toe game and a beaded bracelet. Miles got a toy grasshopper, a fake mustache and a lollipop.
ALL FOR SEVEN DOLLARS Y'ALL....
On the way home the kids couldn't stop laughing - mainly because I fell getting into the car- but they were so happy. My bum was hurting, but they were happy.
