Heat wave - A day at the mall

Well, Well what to do with 2 little boys in a house with no A/C for yet another scorching day?

I'll tell you...... Go to the mall, So we get organized to go. Faces washed, teeth brushed, clothes must have clothes much to the dismay of my 3yr old Logan who hasn't been dressed in so many days. He decides we will wear a wool sweater and shorts ( I must move the winter clothes up another shelve) trying to explain to him why he can't wear a sweater is like trying to do my own brain surgery!!! we finally settle on his shirt from Mexico, shorts and flip flops. Mason my 1yr is much easier as there is no fight. We get in the car and off we go A/C cranked and still sweating bullets!! Which country do we live in? I believe there is no possible way to remain a calm rational person in 40 deg weather!!! We get to the mall, friends Located, we are joined by Logan's best friend Zack and his brother Jonas. Let me tell you "window shopping" is simply not in the vocabulary of your average 3 & 4 yr olds. Logan and Zack wanted everything they saw, every toy at the "science and nature co." Every hat at the expensive baseball hat store -hmmm $30 for a kids hat, to rich for my blood- They played with all the jewelry at the accessories store, We finally conceded to buy them "hot wheels" and "transformers" @ "Toys'r'us". I think a $1.5o is money well spent when it keeps the boys happy and not whining!!! We finished off our trip with a quick bite in the food court and then it was who could push whose brother faster in their strollers, a game which could prove painful for unsuspecting spectators!!! Last minute browsing a few small purchases and we are out in the heat again. 2 tired babies and 2 boys who "aren't" tired head home for naps with the promise of pools and Popsicles swimming in their heads. Adventure at the mall.... every days an adventure with two many peas in the pod!!
