Mark took the day off of work yesterday to make a long holiday weekend. Bailey had school, so it was just the four of us. We headed to the nice mall in town to let the little ankle-biters burn off some energy...I mean...to spend some enjoyable quality time with our little angels.

Lauren LOVES anything if there are other kids there...or as she calls them..."my friends." She only cried once when another kid accidentally stepped on her foot. Otherwise it was a VERY enjoyable morning for her. She giggled, she climbed, she ran, she hopped, she hid from us - pure delight.

Even Grant had a great time!

He squawked at the other kids (thinking they could understand what he was saying, no doubt). It was fun to watch him bounce up and down, smile at HIS "friends" and just see that glint in his eye that said "I'm a big kid too!"

We had a lot of fun together and brought home two VERY tired kids. A good start to a busy holiday weekend.
