You can tell how thrilled my kids are to be at the mall.
Usually Wetzel Pretzels gets them excited enough to be there.
And if that doesn’t work, the playground and looking for quarters is a slam dunk.
But today…nothing would work.
So I had to go with, “Guys….today is my birthday.  I really want to go to the mall to return two things.  Will you let that be part of my birthday present?”
Thank goodness that the guilt trip worked its magic.
Happy Birthday to me.
