At Play

To me, there's really nothing worse than having to stay at home all day babysitting the kiddos.  I get so bored and antsy if I do.  I have to make sure to get us outside for a walk, an errand, a play date, etc. at least once a day.  There was so much to do back at home during the days, though, while the grandparents were off at work.  We managed to keep ourselves busy all day every day.  We even ended up at the Thousand Oaks mall playground one afternoon for some climbing and socializing (Ellie) and a Coffee Bean (Mommy).  Ellie was hilarious while making friends...at one point she laid down flat on the floor right next to these two brothers wrestling and just kept smiling up at them...basically inviting them to tackle her next.  She better cut that stuff out long before she reaches those teenage years!!
