Because apparently, meeting for breakfast, stopping at a craft store, getting coffee, looking for deals at an interior decorating store &  stopping by the local "super store" is just too much for a 1 year old and a 1 1/2 year old to handle...

Because this is how we felt at the end of the day:

So, so tired.
