Martin Luther King Jr Day

Yesterday was a school holiday and I didn't have to work. Soooo........we took a vacation day!! We had so much fun!!! We went to Mt. Vernon with the only agenda was to watch the Alvin & the Chimpmunks movie and to shop! We did both :)

First stop was McDonald's. The girls were collecting all of the Chipmunk charater's at McDonald's and we had all of them except for Brittany. We had checked in Bellingham and they didn't have any and were not getting anymore, so I thought while we were down in Mt. Vernon anyway, we would check. They had her! The girls were so excited to complete their collection. Emily and Mia had asked us to get a Brittany for Emily and Mia just needed the A man :) (that is what she calls Alvin). So we were able to get them and now we have 4 very happy girls!
Next stop was the Super Walmart. It is big. It reminds me of a Costco, because it has a cement floor and very high ceilings. They don't have a huge selection of some things, but the building is certainly bigger and they do have a food section.

Here is McKenzie before we went in to the Walmart with her new favorite hat that her Grandma Kaye made for her! :) She loves this hat. Alyssa was able to exchange a diaperbag for a different one that she liked a little better. She also found a super cute winter coat in the boys section for only $15!!! She was so excited....and it came with a hat :) It is a double coat, so the liner zips out and can be used as a lighter coat or she can wear them together in colder weather or she can......you get the idea! Lots of options.

Then we went to the Cascade Mall to their movie theaters and watched the movie. It was pretty cute. The girls loved it! After the movie we walked around the mall and stopped at Payless Shoe Source. McKenzie only had a pair of tennis shoes that fit her. No church shoes. So she got some nice black church shoes that she is wearing to school today :) Alexandra saw these shoe-boots and fell in love with them. Since it was BOGO, I let her get them. Let me tell you, Super Excited doesn't even describe her face when I said yes. She knew there was no way I would let her get these. :) It is the little things like that, that make me so happy. I bought her some crazy shoes and she was super happy :)

After the mall we wandered over to the Outlet Center and looked around there for a bit before coming home and getting ready for school and work today! A fabulous day was had by all!!! :)

Enjoy your Tuesday!
