Why I Hate the Mall


Last night it was raining and we decided we wanted to get out of the house. So we thought, Let's go to the mall. That would be fun! Ha. Fun like going to the dentist. Anyway, we went and laid on the select comfort beds for a bit. The salesman gave Allie and Emmie balloons so they were happy and busy. We entered our names in a drawing for a free bed. It would be so much more convenient if we could just win one, wouldn't it?

Next we went to Mrs. Fields and picked out cookies. The girls split a big frosting-covered one; I had a toffee one; and Ethan had chocolate chip (I think). They were delicious and it was so sweet to see our little ones smile and giggle over their little cookie.

We were just starting to clean the cookie crumbs off the table when . . . thunk! A huge piece of gum came flying down from the upper balcony. Some teenage kid threw it at our table. Nice, huh? I was very grossed out.

We let the kids go see the puppies at the pet store next but Ethan and I were definitely ready to leave the mall. The more we looked around the more we felt out of place. I don't know if it was because it was Friday night or what; but it seemed like it was just teens milling around.

I think next time we'll just go to Target . . .

Yuck about the gum! I can't believe they did that! Thankfully, it didn't land in anyone's hair!

Yeah, no kidding. I probably would have chased the kid down over that. :)

I love Target!! I would much rather go there too. Totally gross about the gum...ew!!!!! Good idea though to snack on cookies.

It sounds like a pretty great time until the gum landed. Yuck! I'm surprised Ethan didn't sprint up there and corner the kid--someone needs some manners. I'm glad the kids had fun. Target doesn't have puppies or cookies, ya know...
