Well, today was the day to shop! After Ben got up (at 9:30!) and had breakfast we went to the mall and met Grandma! We had a fun time shopping at the mall - Ben got some new pants and a seat to go on Daddy's bike! Now we just need a helmet and we're all set. Grandma also spoiled Ben with a puzzle - we're going to try it tomorrow.
We came home and Ben had a HUGE nap. Then after lunch (Ben ate an ENTIRE grilled cheese sandwich) we got ready and picked up Mommy from work. We met our friends (Michelle, Eric, Bailey and Zack) at McDonalds where Ben had ANOTHER grilled cheese sandwich and his first french fries (which he didn't like very much). We played in the playland for a bit and headed back to the mall.
THIS time at the mall Ben got a "Gazillion Bubble Machine". It's this neat little thing that blows tons of bubbles (and yes, it runs on batteries). When we got back from the mall (after Mommy got locked on the wrong side of the doors at the Bay when they closed) we tried out the amazing bubble machine. Ben loved it - and he LOVED watching Charlie snap at the bubbles. However, when we turned it off, Ben ran towards Charlie and SLIP! - his feet went out from under him and he smacked the back of his head on the kitchen floor. He's okay, but we won't be bubbling again until we can go outside!
After this episode we tried on the new boots he got from Auntie Kathy. (Sorry Kath, we didn't get a picture YET). He hobbled around on them for about 3 steps and then started crying. We'll get some more practice soon.
All in all it was a fun day. Tomorrow I'll go about cleaning the crap out of Charlie's dog run. That should be less fun than today. Bye all!

Why will it be less fun? Maybe Ben will let you wear his boots! You could turn the bubble machine on while you work!
Ben didn't like McDonald's french fries?! Wow, he sure doesn't take after his Dad!! Although I'm sure when Ben gets older, Dad can show him how to unscrew the salt and pepper shakers on the table for the next unsuspecting customer. Who needs french fries with that kind of entertainment?!
For the record, I still won't use the salt and pepper shakers on the table for that very reason. Scarred for life!!
