Mall Day... (Courtesy of My Cell Phone)

Once again, these are cell phone photos... and pretty much all of them are blurry.

Today, Greg helped his mom move, as did his other 4 brothers. His sister-in-law, Jeanne, had to work, so that left two kids without a parent available to watch them. So... Sarah came to my rescue and volunteered to help watch the extra two kids with me. We originally thought we'd be picking them up around 12, but didn't end up doing that until 2:30. We ran a few errands and played around in the mall for a while.

Here's Sarah with Benjamin... Yes, she fits into a child toy car. And yes, I'm jealous.

Jacob showing off his cool moves. He had to get down a minute later because the moves started getting even "cooler" (more dangerous).
Benjamin in the pink ice cream truck. He really enjoyed the steering wheel and making "vroom" noises.

We picked Brianna and William up around 2:30 and took them to a different mall. Sarah had to look for a dress, so after a quick round of playing, "Who Can Not Touch Anything," we then stayed outside to have more SUPER exciting games.

I think this was, "Who Can Stay Still?" game.
Taking a quick break to smile, laugh, and wiggle around a bit.
I think this one was Jacob's, "Who Can Be Quiet?" game. Note Brianna's mouth. She had some trouble with this one.
And Benjamin begging with his eyes. Please take me home. Please. Let's just go home.
I can tell you for sure that it is a lot of work to have four young kids in a mall play area! Jacob and Brianna were running all over and then trying to climb up on the walls of the play area to walk on them like a balance beam (not a good idea). William just seemed to be in a daze, and we were afraid he would just wander out of the play area. Benjamin needed help getting up the steps to the slide, help sliding down, and then I had to remove him from the bottom each time because he liked to just stay there smiling (while other kids were waiting to come down). Unlike when Jacob was this age, Benjamin loves to run out of the play area... We were on our feet pretty much the entire time they were playing.
