I met Maddie and Audrey for the first time today, but I feel like I already know them so well from the time we spent together. I love that about children!

Maddie likes the colors of the American flag and will be an amazing scientist one day…one who studies cells, she says. Her sister Audrey will teach a math class, maybe science, and they’ll run a candy store together. Because you know, they explain, we like to stick together. They love Italian food and everything chocolate, and have a friend who has never tried any other flavored ice cream but chocolate!

We started our day with a delicious meal at California Pizza Kitchen and then for dessert, treated ourselves to some fun drinks at the boba stand. And with these fun drinks, we took a stroll through the Sanrio store, left with a few treasures, and made our way over to the park where we played and giggled and laughed!

When there was no more energy left in their little bodies we returned to the mall for a light snack and rested. We rested in the air-conditioned rooms of Borders and  finished our time together by reading books about cupcakes and bunnies and of course, taking a few pictures.

and that, was my Tuesday! : )
