OK, here is my mall experience, because I need some input.
I went to the Disney store and they didn't have the luggage thingys (I mean the carryon/roller suitcases...) so I got the kids each a backpack. It was not what I wanted. I am going to put little things in them for the trip to DL.
Went to Gymboree. Bought clothes for DS in size 7. I had bought a ton of stuff in size 8 and it is way too big.
Bought the kids giftcards for Build-a-Bear for their Disneyland bags.
Tried on some Chanel sunglasses. I want them. REALLY BADLY! I didn't buy them though. I need to think about it. I am lusting over them.
Then I went to buy the purse I have been wanting. I stood at the counter and looked in the glass. I saw another one I liked (of course) so I looked at both. I could not make up my mind.
So I did not get any.
I did just notice that there are new bags on the coach website.
OK, I need cheering up now. I hate mall trips like this!!
(Help me justify the sunglasses)

He's working on his kindergarten homework and he's working ahead, doing Wednesday's homework since Zach has a baseball game on Wednesday that Jake might go to. Jake asked where the game was and if it was far. I told him that it was far, that the game is in Columbia. Jake said, "don't they speak Spanish there?".I told him it wasn't that Columbia and we didn't have to go quite that far away, just towards Baltimore. And that yes, they do speak Spanish in the country Columbia.
Tigger&Belle said:PhD, I would guess that as long as you're somewhat flexible with your times that you can add your friends. Or at least you can get another table of 4. It's not as if the restaurants should be totally booked.
I really only care about Prime Time, but I think I'll bring Jake to Sci Fi since Alyssa and I had so much fun there in January. I'm sure I told that story, but we'd never been there before. I need to remember the names of the CMs that we met there so I can look them up again at the MK. I still have fastpasses that they gave us in January.
Also, I haven't told Jake about the trip, but I need to post a new message to get ideas about how to tell him since I want to so a scavenger hunt. I had a dream about it last night, but in my dream it was real hard, like the Amazing Race. I had Jake and my 12yo figuring out how to get to Camden Yards (the baseball stadium in Baltimore, MD) on their own.
We're not doing the dining plan, but I keep second guessing myself about that, too. And I'm second guessing myself about not renting a car, mainly because I want to go to the grocery store and am hesitant about doing Magical Express even though Alyssa and I did it in January and liked it. But I don't want to be buying bottled water all the time (I'm VERY cheap when it comes to that sort of thingI think that I might just pack some waters in a suitcase and then buy some. I really can do that.
The minute my friends oldest, he was 10, read it he threw his hands in the air and said "We're going to Disneyland"
I could hook some clues onto it that he could come to before getting to the end.
