7:00 Drop off. Thought Ariel was asleep, put her in the crib.

7:08 Apparently she's not asleep. I give her a minute to change her mind.

7:15 Get her out of the crib, swaddle her up like a burrito. Feed my kids breakfast one-handed

7:45 Ariel finally falls asleep, I put her down

8:30 Wake up - full 3 oz bottle

9:00 Go to the Butterfly Pavillion

9:30 Actually get to the Butterfly Pavillion. Now, I'm going to share some pictures that are NOT Ariel. Ariel spent the whole time sleeping the the Bjorn, so it was pretty hard to take her picture. My kids were being cute and availible, so that's what you get:

Alex held Rosie the Tarantula:



She's pretty darn big:



Adam enjoyed the cockroaches (Apple!)



I love this picture. Adam was hesitant about going in the butterfly room. I held him a bit, but then came the time when I needed to put him down. I asked Alex to hold his hand, and they were both ok with it. Alex led Adam all over the place, it was so cute:



See, Ariel IS here:



10:40 We left the Butterfly Pavillion

11:00 Trip to Westminster Mall. Wow, is this mall dying. Even the Mervyns is pulling out. The kids played at the play area, then we had a pretzel snack.

12:00 Miss Ariel had a 3oz bottle while the kids watched the balloons:



Then we walked down to the Pet Store. Coming out the the Pet Store, we met Grandma. She gave Adam a vague "cute baby" smile and didn't even recognize him. She almost walked right by us. Creepy. And the she said, "I was thinking Adam had an outfit just like that." Do-do-do.

12:30 Leave the mall

1:00 Get home - Ariel and Adam napping.

3:00 Wake up - full 3 oz



Look at these shoes!



3:30 Back in the Bjorn

4:25 Pick-up
