Tayler and Liam's Day of Fun

Yesterday I watched Tayler while Tammy went to a school to do her teaching observations.
My plan was to go by Jenn's and get her so we could go to the bank...as that was the only thing on the agenda.
Instead I got a crazy idea to go shopping for all the babies and figured this was a good time as I also wanted to get shoes and having Tayler with me made that easy.....Ya think?
Here's our story.
Tayler in the truck ready to go and and pick up her cousin Liam.
( I know...she's a doll ) We arrived and got Liam (Jenn joined us)... I know I'm not ready to take 2, 16 months
out on my own.
In their little heads they are saying, come on Grams lets go have some fun. First stop was the bank...they had keys to keep them some what occupied...at first Tayler had mine but it wasn't soon after that Liam wanted mine cause he saw buttons...so he took mine and for a good while you could here my truck outside beeping from the doors being locked and unlocked....finally those had to be taken away.

Then Jenn saw donut holes....so she gave one each to the babies.
Liam gobbled his down all at once while Tayler was nibbling on hers...Liam had to have a second and even a third...he loved donut holes. Tayler never did finish all of hers.
Then it was off to Katy Mills mall.
First stop was food court since neither baby really ate their breakfast
we figured they would be ready for lunch.
I sat with the babies while Jenn went to Burger King to get them chicken nuggets.
She got back and I sat with the babies while she went to get us something thinking the babies would be fine since they had food to occupy them....Ummm...Not the case.


Babies went crazy...throwing food and playing with it and wanting out of their high chairs and wanting to throw whatever they could get their hands on....I was like...where is Jenn, this is getting too much...it seemed like she was gone for 30 minutes....I stood up looking for her and couldn't see her anywhere...Surely she didn't leave me with 2, 16 month olds or did she?

Below is what our table are looked liked when we left...we did clean off the table some...but somehow this picture doesn't give the ground justice...it was worse in person.

Then we went to get the shopping strollers and a shopping we went...Carter's was our destination and with coupon in hand. We must not of been the only one with the same idea...Carter's was packed and most every adult had a stroller and the isles are small so it was interesting trying to get through...and babies reaching up, grabbing clothes and pulling them off the hangers...lol...Jenn eventually picked Liam up and was carrying him and pushing a cart.
Once it was time to check out Tayler was pulling all the gift bags they had on the shelve around the counter...my thought was...why would you put that there when a child can pull at it.

Anyway, we had fun and what seemed like 2 hours in Carter's it was time to go.
We hit Stride Rite for shows and then we were off...time to go...after all the day was gone and Tammy was gonna be out of school in 15 minutes.

Below are Liam and Tayler in their mall strollers while I went to take most packages to the truck and to pull the truck up to get the other packages and the babies.

Thanks Grams for taking us shopping...we had a fun day...it's almost 3 and we have had no nap yet!
But it didn't take long for this little guy to pass out once we started moving.
Isn't he just sweet...

And Miss Tayler tired and in ready position to fall asleep never did.

Dropped Tayler off at home so she could get some sleep, dropped Jenn and Liam off and then headed back to Tammy's to give her the car seat and all the goodies I got for Colton and Tayler and Tayler was in rare form playing with Colton whom she had not seen all day.

It was a very good and full day. makes me wonder sometimes how my Grandmother use to take me and 3 of my other cousins out to have pictures taken and it was just her.
Bless her heart...but she was a remarkable one of a kind Grandmother.

Love them Grand-babies!
