September Moments

Aquarium

 Angie and I took the kiddos to Arizona Mills Mall to walk around and visit the Sea Life Aquarium. It is quite an adventure going out with these 3 little ones. I don't know what we are going to do with 5 little ones between us! The kids had a blast running through the mall and playing on the rides.

The kids really enjoyed the aquarium. They loved all the fish and looking through all the tanks. Elise was so excited at one point she went and grabbed a very old man and took his hand and dragged him accross the room and showed him all the fishies. He got a kick out of that.

After the aquarium, we thought it would be fun idea to go and eat lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  The kids love the outside of the restaurant because there are huge giraffes and fun decorations.  As soon as we got in the restaurant and sat down the kids started freaking out. We went ahead and ordered because we thought they would calm down but it only got worse. As soon as the thunder storm and the gorillas went wild, we knew it was a lost cause.  Elise wouldn't move from my lap where she had her eyes on those gorillas. Mikey was crying and Mia kept saying "Mom, we have to get out of here."  It was pretty funny...and not funny at the same time.  We had to get our food to-go and ate in the food court. We will try the Rainforest Cafe again in about 10 more years. 

Sister Bellies

Angie and I are both due next month! It is so neat to be able to share pregnancy the same time as your sister. We are able to laugh about things people say to us about our growing bellies, totally understand and sympathize with each other about the woes of pregnancy, but most of all share the excitement together. We will see which baby comes first! Come on baby Trone and Baby Caruso....we can't wait to meet you.
