Lost Keys

First off Joshua picked the picture at the top. My memory card still wont work!! So frustrating!

Well on Sunday after James left town I decided to go to the mall. Which meant I had 6 little ones and 2 teens with me. (I had Sabrinas kids for the weekend) What was I thinking?! It started off pretty good. I went and picked somethings out for James and Alan for summer. JC Pennys had some of there stuff 75% off. James got a pair of Tiger khaki shorts for 4.95, several t-shirts for $2.00-$4.00 dollars can't bet that! The kids even helped pick out some shirts they thought daddy would like. Then it all started... "I have to go to the bathroom", "I'm hungry", "I'm thirsty", "are we done yet?". Then the tag game began. Thankfully I had some certs in my purse so I pulled them out. They all sat on the floor and ate them when they were gone it was time to move on.

We then headed down to the food court. They all wanted taco bell so that made it easy for me. While we were eating they all talked about how cool the carousel ride was and how they wanted to ride it. So after they ate all their food(maybe not the best time to put them on a ride that goes in circles) they received a token.

Next we decided to hit a couple of store, of course this was after we go strollers for 4 of them. We went to a few stores and by then we were all ready to go! Well, as we were getting ready to leave I went for my keys..... nowhere to be found. I ask Miranda if she still had them. She said "I told joshua to give them to you". So I then asked Joshua "do you have mommies key"? "No, I left them somewhere". Was what he said to me. We searched everywhere and I was to the point I called a friends and asked her to come get us. Then one of the workers from the store said I will take Joshua up stairs to look for the keys. At this point I was like sure that's fine. I know great parenting skills.

They come back empty handed. During this time of looking for keys and trying to keep the little ones in on spot I sent Miranda to search the other stores. Finally after 45 min of looking for them we found them in Dillards shoe dept. I will go Tuesday and get another key made because that is our only one for right now. It all turned out good but man was it a long day. I guess the point of my story is never give your kids the car keys. I'm sure you all are a lot smart than that :)
