Another Busy Morning

We've had a busy morning. First, the buddies met their friends at the park. They had a great time climbing on the jungle gym and swinging. Ace ran in front of Ben's swing and before I could get to him he got smashed. He should have a nice shiner tomorrow but he's okay.

After the park, we went to the mall and had lunch in the foodcourt with my friend Carol and her twins, Drew and Amelia. Ace and Ben love mongolian chicken with chow mein noodles. Afterwards, all four kids got to play at the mall play area. Drew escaped and was banging his head on the bookstore window before Carol or I noticed. He's a fast one!

When everyone was done playing we went to Stride Rite where Carol and I were shocked at the prices. $46 for a pair of toddler shoes!! Not to mention that we each would have to buy two pair. I had the saleslady measure everyone's feet and we'll try to find a better deal somewhere else. Ben was a size 6 extrawide and Ace was a 6 1/2 extrawide.
