I'm always looking for fun things to do during the week that don't cost money. X and I have a lot of hours to log together while Walter is at work and staying at home all the time is not an option. I go stir crazy and X loves to go "bye bye". So the other day we decided to hit the mall...freestyle. I packed a lunch for both X and myself and we headed out after morning nap. First on the agenda was to take a few laps around the mall. X got to take in the sites and sounds and I got a little bit of a workout on a rainy day. Our next stop was the little kiddie play yard inside the mall. X enjoyed being released from the stroller and walked around and around inside there. Unfortunately there is no gate on the play yard area though and he kept just walking right out. There was a Christmas store that had some pretty snazzy window displays that caught his eye. After a quick stop at the family lounge for a diaper change we headed to the food court for lunch. I think it's pretty safe to say that X and I were the only ones who had brought their lunch to the mall! Oh well, we ate cheaper and healthier (not that some cheesy pizza on a table nearby didn't smell divine!) X made friends with an older lady sitting at a table near us and she was kind enough to tell me what a sweet little boy I had as she left. It's always fun when people think your kid is neat! So we left the mall on a full stomach, having both burnt off some energy, and not having spent a dime. I love it!
PS -- I have no idea why blogger is underlining most of this post and can't figure out how to change it.
