Shopping and Front Yard Fun

Today was another great day. I spent four hours shopping at the mall!! I haven't been to the mall in decades. It felt good to just walk the stores, try on different clothes and see the new spring colors. I picked up a few things and got Abby some new Easter shoes. It was just all around awesome.
When we got home we headed outside. I worked on vacuuming out the car and sweeping out the garage. Abby worked on digging in her garden, riding her Dora trike, and blowing bubbles. It was a little chilly, but the sun was shining which puts everyone in a better mood. Here are a few pictures of our afternoon. Here's Abby digging in her "garden". I told her to stay away from my tulips, which are just popping above the surface. However, one or two got trampled on. Oh well. She had fun all decked out in her Dora visor, Dora gloves and using her Dora gardening tools. Can you tell which character she adores?

Abby loved pushing her doll Susie on her trike. They went around and around me as I swept out the garage. It was fun to watch her be so patient with her doll.

Blowing bubbles is one of Abby's favorite things to do. I think we have somewhere between 10-20 bubble wands. She can blow bubbles or chase the bubbles for hours. It was windy enough today that we didn't need to actually blow the bubbles. The wind did the work for us.

Here we are blowing bubbles and being mom and daughter together. And yes, I'm wearing the Dora visor. The sun was in my face, and it was available. :)
