Girls just want to have fun....

Yesterday after the meeting Mark and the big kids were gone and/or busy with their own activities, so my little girls and I went on an adventure together.

First a stop at Starbucks to get tasty beverages.

(This is actually the store that I work at in Layton.)

Then to the mall to get $6 Wallflowers from Bath & Body Works.

I LOVE these air fresheners! Yesterday was the last day of the sale, so we had to stop. 

Of course while we were at the mall, we went into Claire's because what girl doesn't like to look at accessories of all kinds? Sydney learned how to POINT at things that she liked instead of grabbing everything in sight. This store could have been a disaster with a 2 year old, but she actually did really good. We got out with one colorful giant bead bracelet. Sydney is still wearing it this morning.

Continuing on our Sunday drive South, we saw the cloud of smoke coming from who knew where. Madi looked on the KSL website on my Iphone to find out that there was a big fire in Herriman. 

It is still burning this morning with 1500 people evacuated from their homes. Hoping the weather cooperates so they can contain the blaze.

Anyway... we ended up at the Gateway in Salt Lake. We love the Gateway.

Barnes & Noble was our first stop. Books are the best! Both of the girls read aloud to me at the same time. Not really sure what the books were about, but I love hearing their voices. :) Madi found a sequel to a book she'd already read, so she was very excited about that. And we picked up some number and color books for Sydney.

By the time we left there, we discovered that everything was closing. It was Sunday after all.

Time to start heading homeward. But we were hungry. Mimi's Cafe in Layton would be the place for dinner. We had a lot of fun there sharing delicious food. Before we left Sydney even did a little bit of dancing. They were playing some good jams.

Finally a stop at Walmart to pick up some necessities. And some fancy dress shoes for Sydney. She is wearing those this morning along with her new bracelet.

A FABULOUS TIME WITH MY TWO LOVELY LITTLE GIRLS!!

At home... put the girls to bed. Spend some quality time with my best friend before nodding off to sleep.

Zzzzzz.......
