We went to the mall… paradise for the kids, meh for me. They got some cute stuff with their allowance and birthday money, which is now suitably depleted. Robin got these cute earrings. Even I got a couple things. It appears spending money is just irresistible.

Today was moody teenager day. Want to go out for ice cream, don’t want to go out for ice cream, go out for ice cream, want to play games, play games, don’t want to play games, life is miserable, can we just go home. Life is exhausting.
