Bouncy House, Costco Babies, Color Eggs

 Tuesday, April 13

Emma had a half-day of school! So we went to a friend's house to try out their bouncy house. Lucy doesn't look too happy in this picture...but I think she enjoyed it.

Here's a bit more of an action shot.

Here's a little video of the action.

Afterward the three older girls stayed at a friends' house and the babes and I went to Costco. 

This was a big day for them - their FIRST time sitting in the cart and not being pushed around in their double stroller. 

I love how chill Olive looks in this pic and how they are both checking out all the deals.

They LOVED it! They couldn't help but swing their cute little legs and look all around. 

I also loved it! At least for the first five minutes...

You can see in this pic that Mabel is starting to turn around...

Yep. And that was the whole rest of the trip. I don't have any more pics because I spent the rest of Costco-time making sure my babies didn't jump ship. It doesn't matter how tight you make those seat belts, those rascally babies can turn around and wriggle out. None of my other babies have other done this! And I don't think Olive would have, but Mabel figured it out right away and after a bit, Olive decided to follow her lead. Which, by the way, Mabel has had plenty of practice turning around and wriggling out of her seatbelt with her highchair at home, so wriggling out of this cart was a PIECE. OF. CAKE.

Here's a little video of how cute and happy they were. And for the record, even though it was difficult keeping them in their seats, I did still love going shopping with them. I actually really enjoy shopping with all my girls and I miss them when they are not there. 

Later that night we FINALLY colored eggs. Here's Dallas demonstrating to the girlies and our friends how to color eggs. He's a real pro.
