the kids received toys r us gift cards from uncle derek and his fiancé ashley for christmas and they could not wait to get a chance to shop! this morning we made out way over there. i briefed the kids in the car about how i expected them to behave because trying to do math in my head for four kids who keep changing their minds in a crowded toy store can be a little stressful. but today was a dream! they all had a decent idea about what they were hoping to leave with and didn't change their minds! the most surprising was mason because he usually takes forever to decide which lego set he wants, but today he was the first one and never looked back. here are some pictures of their purchases we took for uncle derek.
after a few hours with their new toys, they played a quick round of "surprise slides" (the frozen version of chutes and ladders) for the first time since receiving it on christmas. all four were able to play the game together and seemed to enjoy it until the first one had to 'slide back' and didn't want to lose. the game wound down pretty quickly after that. oh well. it was fun while it lasted!
this is just my favorite week! we have zero commitments and get to truly relax. i do have to keep the kids busy but all of the new toys make that task a breeze. lots more fun to come! love.
