Becky is way cool. She inspired me to poetry today:

Roses are red,
Yellow are ducks,
Becky's the best
she brought me Starbucks!

Thanks again!!!!

7:10 Drop off. Becky was running early, so she stopped by Starbucks. But's she not as knowledgable of all the Boulder Starbucks as I am (or all the Starbucks in a 15 mile radius from my house), so she did not go to the closest one and then ran a little late. Ok by me! Ariel was asleep, so once again I used my time wisely. Fed the boys breakfast, changed the sheets, cleaned the kitchen (which wasn't done last night because I fell asleep at 7:30 again. But I must of needed it since I didn't wake up until 6:30).

9:15 Ariel woke up, bottle. Right as I started feeding her, I realized Adam had a poopy. So I had Alex take over while I changed Adam.



Adam wanted to have a part too. I think this might be the first good picture of all of them together:



10:10 Leave for the mall.

10:30 Get to the dinosaur play area

Here's Adam breaking the rules and eating goldfish in the play area:


Alex is the climbing monkey:




Adam finally put his goldfish down:


Ariel was awake when we got there, fell asleep around 10:45

11:30 We headed upstairs to the pet store. One of our favorite stops at the mall. There are hermit crabs somewhere in that tank:



11:45 Lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen.



Here's a story about the CPK. When I lived in LA, I loved the CPK. But when I moved back to CO, there were none in the state. Not that they are unique to CA (there are franchises all over the place) but there none within 500 miles. Then they opened one in South Denver. Too far for us. And THEN then they opened one at the mall. One small problem though, Jeremy had vowed never to step foot in the mall as it is an abomination to mankind and represents all that is wrong with irresponsible growth. I made no such promises and very often when I'm all the mall, I stop by the CPK. And no, Jeremy has not stepped foot in the mall since it opened about 5 years ago, though he has gone to the outside movie theater.

11:50 Bottle

12:20 Done with our meal (tostada pizza for me, mac & cheese for the boys) we stopped by the bathroom. Ariel got a new diaper and new clothes. I'm sorry Becky, but she's been way spitty again and even the diaper burp cloths aren't helping.

12:45 Get home from the mall.

1:10 Ariel fell asleep in the bjorn.

1:45 Ariel woke up. Took some more pictures, then I let her talk to Alex while I spent some time with a grumpy Adam.

Here's Alex talking to Ariel. He was using his "growup" voice and was saying, "Hi Ariel, what do you want to do today? Can you give me a smile?"


Ariel's close-up today:


And this picture is for Granny Shirley. What color are Ariel's eyes? It's a mystery unto the universe:


2:30 bottle

3:00 Grandpa got here after getting his oil changed. He said he would have been here earlier, but he forgot to get off Foothills again and ended up in Superior. Then he had a rant about how the city of Boulder should label that sign better and let people know that if they don't get off now, they are out of Boulder. Um Dad, didn't you live here for 10 years?



3:10 Wet diaper change and a new outfit.

3:30 Pick-up. And I know I said this to you already Becky, but your daughter was a spewing volcano of spit-up today. I kept thinking of that Aladdin quote, "Watch out, they spit!" Ok, I'm off to change my shirt now.
