WEEK IN REVIEW

Matt had the whole week off to enjoy watching the girls. He bribed them each night if they were good that the next day would be fun. He ended up taking them to a few playgrounds and even tried out a new one for us. It is in Boardman Park and dedicates one playground to 5 and under aged children. Matt said that the kids really enjoyed the paved area with many trikes to ride.
We took a trip to Pittsburgh today for some morning shopping at Ross Park Mall. Of course, the mall had a play area so Matt and the girls 'relaxed' there while I finished looking. Talk about ridiculously priced stores!! I don't think that I will be paying $155 for a pair of jeans any time soon. I would probably shrink the darn things the first time I washed them. It was fun to window shop anyhow! Afterwards we picked up some lunch and visited Papa and Craig. All the girls could keep talking about was the cookies in the bag that I bought. (huge M&M cookies from Mrs. Fields). They obsess... well I was looking forward to them as well. :)
While watching the girls drive around on their Barbie Jeep, we decided to let Meredith drive. Madeline was instructed to make sure Meredith doesn't drive into anything. Meredith seemed to be a pro while in reverse, but once going forward at turtle pace, it was another story. She was looking at Madeline instead of where she was going. She was headed right for the playset which isn't small!!! Madeline took Meredith's head and whipped it forward yelling, "LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING!!".
Here are some pictures of our new water toy! Meredith is not too thrilled by water squirting her, but didn't mind sticking her forehead onto the stream?!?
