Last week I took the kids down to an inflatable playground place called Jumpin' Jacks. We met a few friends from school and reserved a private party and it was so much fun. We had the whole huge place to ourselves. The kids ran around and I didn't have to worry about other adults or kids being too rough. I was able to sit and relax and talk to the other moms. Definitely the way to go when getting a bunch of kids together for that kind of thing. It may have cost a little more than a pop in play time but so worth it. Here is a pic of my kiddos going down the huge slide together.
After the jumping part was over, we had lunch in the party room with everyone. Then we headed to the mall to visit Gymboree. I had $25 in gymbucks that I had to use by the 29th and since I was down there already I didn't have to pay shipping if I had ordered online. I got 6 tanks and 5 bottoms. All but one of them mix and match to make about 9 or 10 outfits. I don't think I did too bad. The other pair of shorts Everything was on the clearance rack and after using my gymbucks, I only had to pay $44. I bought a size up and am saving all of it for next summer or maybe even her birthday. I was very excited to get so much. I love their cute clothes and it's even better when it's on sale.
Here is a picture of the kids at the outdoor mall that we went to. We usually get to ride the train also but they didn't eat their lunch so they couldn't ride. Surprisingly they didn't argue with me about it. They were awesome in the store also thanks to the tv they have set up for kids to watch. I don't have a clue what the cartoons are but the kids were excited to go so they could watch the tv and then told me to just come back and get them later when I said it was time to leave.
I wish more stores had something for the kids so I could shop in peace. Really I'm just kidding but wouldn't it be nice to have cartoons in the carts so we could spend as much time in target as we want!
