Thank goodness for Tiny Town

I am sure that in one of my past posts, I talked about Tiny Town. It's this play area in the mall, and it has make my child happy on numerous occasions. Today, it definitely saved the day. The weather was supposed to get into the 60's (what month is it again?!) and we had planned to go play outside at the tot lot with everyone after a good workout. I even packed lunch for E and I. Left the house and the sun hadn't even peeked out of the clouds, and it was still in the 40's. As I was driving, I also realized that there was no way that the playground would be dry enough for the kids to have fun. When I was making these realizations, five police cars zoomed past me onto the JFX. That is never good. I drove along perfectly expecting stand still traffic, and then saw the wall of police cars and cones that were guiding everyone off the expressway-fabulous. After a VERY scenic tour of Baltimore I make it to the mall and get my workout on for the remainder of class. Sarah and Megan both agree there is no way we are making it outside with sub par conditions. We do some light browsing of sales before taking our three rowdy toddlers downstairs to Tiny Town. These kids ran around like maniacs and loved every minute of it. Megan and N left when N figured out how to open the door and go into the mall by himself. Sarah and I took E and A a short while later to shop (awesome bargains and super cute buys) since E is outgrowing all of his clothes again! We topped it off with some serious people watching and lunch in the food court. We ran to put the kids in the car and said goodbye. E was asleep by the time I hit the JFX and he took a four hour nap. I was able to get a ton done! I love Tiny Town. The sun came out and it was lovely. When E was napping, of course. So Ferrous and I enjoyed it for a bit from the stoop, like a true Bawlmer folk. My legs are so sore I can barely move from the workout. What started out to be a mess of a day turned into a fabulous day!  Enjoy a few pics I snapped of the kids playing and a bonus pic of E and his new hat. xoxo
