Sour Grapes

 We got our tax return today, so the very first thing Ty did was pay our bills.  He was absolutely joyous this morning!

HQ climbed into a toy she is too big for and just sat in there enjoying herself.

 We set out to run some errands and Izzy wanted to make sure she looked her best.  We had promised her a treat and that is definitely an occasion to dress up for!  

Izzy wanted to be all purple like a grape today.
She felt extra special in a necklace Grandma gave her.

Sister Grapes!
Izzy assured us that they weren't "sour grapes" and were in fact very yummy.

We decided to head to the South Coast Plaza to walk around and pick out Izzy's treat (Izzy insists that this must be the mall Santa shops at when kids ask for presents that the elves don't make).  Out of all the goodies she was offered, she decided on a bagel with cream cheese.

We needed to check out Rain Forrest Cafe.
You could hear the animal noises from pretty far away, so Ty took the girls to check them
out while I sat my big tired butt down!

HQ had a blast running around the mall and people watching.  It really pooped her out.  By the time we got home HQ and I were ready for a serious nap.  It was a good day :)
