7:05 Drop off. Ariel was asleep, but Becky got to witness the end of Adam's fit this morning. He was very upset that I wouldn't let him wear his fire-truck jammie shirt for the third day in a row.

8:00 Ariel woke up.

I finished putting my Texas pictures up. Still backwards, new ones start on page two, the trip starts on page 12:

Texas Pictures

8:20 We are off to Crissy's. No fabulous adventures planned yet, but we'll wing something.

8:30 Arrive at Chez Crissy. Crissy got to say hi before Ariel ate. The boys were playing, Adam learned how to say "Poopyhead" in about 30 seconds. Joy.

8:50 Crissy fed Ariel 3 oz bottle




9:30 Ariel fell asleep in Bjorn

10:00 Crissy convinced me to try a Mary Kay facial. She even convinced me to take before and after pictures, but they are too scary (even the after) to post. I will say that after rubbing off my top layer of epidermis my skin is softer, if not a tad redder as well.

10:30 Commencement of Fabulous Plan™- trip to mall. First stop - Bath and Body Works. With their current sale and my coupon, I got 6 shower gels for $25. What a deal! And the kids tried on every tester lotion and ended up slicker than greased pigs.

Second Stop - Payless Shoes. I wanted to see if they had generic Crocs for Alex (they didn't, the saleslady did mention they had Hello Kitty ones and Alex was all over that but I convinced them they would be too small) and sandels for Adam (he wouldn't try them on). So a strike out there, but I was ok with that after my great Bath and Body Works plan.

Third Stop - Crocs kiosk. Alex tried on the next size up and determined they were too big. His ones from last year are too small, so it looks like this may be a Crocs free summer (try to contain your excitement, Becky).

11:45 Lunch break The big people had fish tacos, Ariel had a 4 oz bottle.

1:00 Bjorn nap

1:30 Leave mall - Crissy and I went our seperate ways. She went to Walmart, we came home.

2:00 I tried to put Adam down for a nap while Ariel played in the exosaucer but that didn't take.

2:20 Fed Ariel 4 oz bottle

2:40 Put Ariel down for bed nap.

3:30 Finally got Adam down for a nap. Alex and I went outside and did some yard work and had a snack.

3:40 Ariel started fussing, I put the paci back in and she went right back to sleep.

4:20 Adam woke up. Very cranky. Wah!

4:30 Pick up (Becky had to wake Ariel).
