I thought it might be a good idea to get Audrey out of the house during the house appraisal this morning. As cute as she is, I thought the appraisal guy might get kind of annoyed with her constant chatter while he was trying to do his job. So Daniel and Isla hung out at home with the appraiser, while Audrey and I went to the mall.

It was fun to do something with just the two of us! We hit up all of Audrey's favorite spots to play at the mall, including the rides that Audrey thinks are just toys she can climb on.
We found some socks on clearance at Gymboree, and they ended up being less than a dollar per pair. That was a good find, because I have been trying to squeeze Audrey's feet into size 12-24 month socks this week. Probably time to get some bigger socks!
Then we got our favorite special treat at the mall: a pretzel from Auntie Anne's.
The most exciting part of the trip for Audrey was definitely the escalators. She always wants to ride on the escalators, but we are usually there with Isla and the stroller, so we can't. She was SO excited when she realized the stroller was not with us. "No stroller! We can ride the escalator. Yippee!"
