Shopping and Fun

Marc and Poppi went hunting yesterday so Grami and I took the kids shopping.  The girls got new winter coats and Marcus got some nice sweat pants and a cool shark hat.  Then I got a steal at Sears...a twin comforter and full comforter for the girls beds.  They were the right colors and everything!  Guess how much I paid...$4.59 TOTAL!  I dare any of you to beat that deal!

Then we had to be downtown for Bella's birthday party at Mobius.  On our walk to Mobius we saw a ton of fire trucks going down the streets.  We didn't think anything of it.  Then just as the kids started playing an announcement came that everyone was ordered to evacuate the downtown mall.  There was a car fire in the parking garage!  I took the opportunity to get a picture of the kids.  We parked in a different garage; I was really glad about that!  The kids thought it was pretty exciting so the birthday party wasn't spoiled at all.

We got right back in about 15 minutes later.  Emma wanted to pose in front of the Avista donation.  This was the coolest house with a slide, kitchen, garden, everything a kid could want.  Great donation Avista!

Marcus was caught up in the fire episode and decided he was going to help put out fires.  Too cute!

Then he found the garden and planted all the vegetables...just like Daddy.  He wouldn't let any kids pick the vegetables until they were fully grown.  He was trained well.

The girls found fun soft blocks and did some building.

Marcus went over to the street exhibit and drove around and around. 

Emma found the art center and created some beautiful pictures.

She drew several!

She wouldn't let me take them though, they had to stay at the exhibit.  She did let me take a picture so I at least get that.  See, she even signed her work.

Then we went to the birthday room to sing Happy Birthday to Bella.  We had yummy cupcakes and a great time overall.
