Quality Time With Your Kids
So i promised Kate that we would have a mommy Kate day and do what she wanted to do. It's hard making alone time for each kid! But they thrive when they get to decide what they are doing, and where they are going, and they talk up storm with things i have never heard before when we do these things. I enjoy it just as much as they do!
Kate said she wanted to go to the mall. It's funny because both my kids picked malls to go to on there date. I really don't enjoy mall shopping so that is why they pick it- deprived :)
She picked the Mall of America of course, and normally i would say pick a closer mall but that day i had time. So we loaded up and headed out.... She talked about her mine craft show she likes to watch on youtube and all the stores she wanted to go to on the way there. We got there just after the stores opened and the first one we went to was Build a Bear. She looked at all the outfits and dolls and thought the cheer leader one was her favorite. We didn't buy we looked. I think it's good to window shop and show the kids you don't get something every time you go out. Then we went to Claires a store that both my kids love. I let her pick out a necklace or a earing to get. I figured this would be her one item she could have for the day. She picked out a bff necklace with three necklaces included. It was ice cream one. She was going to give one to Bella and one to her friend emily. A girl i have never heard mentioned before! We stopped by a few stores that had fun knick knacks in them and then i the smell of all these food places where making us hungry. So we headed up to the food court, it was hard finding places to eat because of her celiac disease. I decided that she could have a root beer float. I was going to let her have fries with it but every restaurant didn't have a separate fryer. She was more then happy to have a the float. I had a lettuce wrap burger from the shake shack. It was ok, i thought it would be a lot taster but it was salty.
After lunch i let her lead me around where she wanted to go and i think she liked doing the escalators because we went up and down the floor levels multiple times. I made a stop at the bubble tea store to get a drink, normally i would have the milk tea but since i didn't want stomach pains from that i went with the mango with green tea drink. It was sweeter then i would like but it was fun. Kate decided she was not a fan of the tea and of the bubbles on the bottom. The Mall was celebrating the Chinese New Year so we watched the dancers and singers preform through out our walking around. That was fun! She wanted to go to the candy store before we left but we couldn't find it.
Overall it was a really fun day and i need to be better at scheduling it on the monthly calendar.
