Fun on the carousel

Lakeline Mall has a carousel and we took the kids for a ride on it this past weekend. They both had a good time and Clara branched out from her "safe" seat to a horse that moved.

Zhu zhu emergency

This weekend I finally broke down and bought Aidan the Kung Zhu he has been asking for. We held out through all of All-Stars, constantly dangling the promise of a Kung Zhu for better focus during practice, games, etc.

Well, baseball's over and he did great. And we came home with two Zhu Zhu pets - one for Aidan (complete with armor and a tank) and one for Clara - pink w/ a tutu and tiara.

These pets scurry around, make chirping noises and have endless accessories. Fun for all. I warned the kids though, as I do with anything that moves, KEEP IT AWAY FROM HAIR!

Less than 24 hours later, I get a call from James....

James: we have a problem

Me: O....k.... what is it?

James: Clara has a pet on her head and it's eating her hair

Me: Hang on, I'm on my way (well, I was already on my way home)

James handled the situation before I got home and Clara only lost a little bit of hair. Not noticable at all. He said she stayed very calm during the whole fiasco though which was the reason, he says, he was able to handle it single-handed. She was calm enough to pose for a picture.
