No Sales Tax! And No Shopping...

So, I had this ingenious idea to drive halfway down to see Cathy and Nora (they live in MD) and she'd drive halfway up... and we'd meet in the middle, at the Christiana Mall in Delaware. The drive was only about an hour and a half for each of us.

The mall opened at 10 and there was a free scavenger hunt at the Disney Store that morning (T earned a Toy Story 3 puzzle). No play place, which was odd... but LOTS of good stores. Forever 21! Anthropologie! H&M! Urban Outfitters! ...And all those stores for kid clothes!

We ended up spending most of the time at the food court (where T spilled his entire chocolate milk on the floor) and at Barnes and Noble (thank God for the train table).

Did we actually buy anything from any of those aforementioned stores? Heck no! You try shopping with three kids and two strollers...

But we did get to play with Nora!
Man, is she big... she's actually 10 months younger than Oliver, but they both weigh 23 pounds.
She's got this crawling-thing going where she moves on all fours, but doesn't let her knees touch the ground. Too cute! Like a little Spiderman.
Trenton loved kissing her toes.

I caught Ollie in his room singing along with the Wiggles. He got all of these toys out himself, and was putting the little men into the house and on the boat.
I also gave him a haircut, which you can't really see in this picture...
