Today we met our friends David and Santi at Ciwalk, the local mall closest to our house, for dinner. However, bright me, I forgot my cell phone and we hadn't agreed on a place to meet, just a time. So we walked around for almost an hour looking for them, not knowing that they hadn't even arrived yet as the roads were crazy busy. Then we bumped into Davids brother, how fortuitous, and he phone David for us and it turns out that they had just arrived. So that was good that they weren't searching all over for us. But all this meant that supper was rather late and the kids were rather wild... I really don't like going out on a Saturday night with the kids. The roads are often jam packed with cars and motorbikes and we always end up home late. Like when we went down to the mall, we took an angkot. As we neared the mall and Aidan's face was getting greener by the second thanks to an overly aggressive driver, we decided to get out and walk the rest of the way. But there aren't any sidewalks so you have to watch out for motorbikes coming up behind you and then there's the people that walk up to you with their hand outstretched hoping you'll give them some money and then there's the people that just can't help themselves and reach out and touch Brynnie.... At the mall it was a zoo. There are people walking everywhere, but inside the stores it isn't busy. People are just walking around, not actually shopping. It's really funny. The restaurants were the same, not very busy. I managed to find some new sandals for Brynnie that she can actually fit her fat feet into. A bit of a challenge in the land of tiny skinny people. Turns out these sandals light up too! Brynnie is rather tickled pink with her new pink Minnie Mouse sandals and wanted to have them and the mickey mouse box they came in, in bed with her. I put my foot down at the box, but that didn't stop her, she climbed out of her pack'n play for the first time ever to see if she could reach the box herself. What a stinker. Once she figured that out, she had to be put back in bed more than a few times....
That's the scoop on our saturday night adventure... Wishing you all a blessed Sunday.
