A trip to the mall

I am, by no means, a mall person. However, with the "tude" my kids have been giving me lately, I thought maybe we should get out of the house. Our closest mall is 30 minutes away. So, I loaded the choo-choo in the van, the kids & off we went. I've never taken the choo choo to the mall. Heck, I've only taken the kids to mall once by myself since they've been born. I was prepared for the comments & stares. It wasn't bad though. Most people are fairly nice about it.

I get the usual, "you sure have your hands full", "are they triplets?"...those sort of things. I had one guy this evening say, "are they the same age?" I said, "yes, they are triplets." And I had a lady say, "oh, two girls & one boy." I said, "no, two boys & one girl. My son just has long curly hair." And NO...I'm not cutting it! He looks so darn cute. It's not like I had him dressed in pink or anything. For goodness sake, he had on a NIKE basketball outfit.

At any rate, the trip was fine. It was nice to get out. I went to The Children's Place & got some clearance items. I couldn't stay in there long because the kids would grab whatever they could reach as we drove by. Needless to say, we had a few things thrown on the ground. We stopped at Blondie's cookies & I got them each a snickerdoodle cookie. My only complaint about the trip....the constant sweat I had running down my face!!
