And here we go!

🍂We went to the mall today because yesterday, we just about floated away with all the thunderstorms.
⛈️I joke how it feels like Noah's Ark
🥵Today was really hot. I told her I look forward to when we can get in the car without the brutal heat
👛We enjoyed the mall. Super crowded, I guess cause we live in a tourist area near the beach so it stays crowded.
We didn't buy anything, just did some browsing, hanging out and laughing as usual
Moonflower got her some Auntie Anne's!!
I just ate one because of my gastritis/can't eat too much sugar but otherwise baby I would have thrown down

🥵The good thing about it being so hot, is that when it starts to cool off we were notice the drastic difference and cherish it.
🔥I went outside to turn the AC on for the car and....to my dismay, the car wouldn't start
I was getting ready to tell Joe, but when I went in his office I saw that he was eating
and since he had such a rough workday yesterday, I said let me wait a few minutes and wait until he finishes eating

🚗I thought it was the battery.
He knew it wasn't the battery.
He was able to get it started by pressing some + sign thing, he said he has to tighten something up

🚗Thankfully I glanced at what he pressed when he had the hood up,
because when me and Moonflower were leaving PETCO, it wouldn't start &
it was 🔥🥵but thankfully I got it on started quickly

I said "Well I don't know about you but I'm done for today."
🌛Moonflower: I thought you said we were going to WalMart [for the pumpkin]
I said, you want to go in this fire? So we'll go back home in the fire, get dad's car
And then drive back up to Walmart

Something along those lines, jokes about the heat
Then I was like, let's just go straight on to Walmart, the one by our house rather than going home and switching cars

🌳And thankfully, I found some shade to park under
The heat really got to Moonflower as we were walking in the store
Bless her heart

How adorable 🧡🧡🧡

Fascinating.
Hand painted & you can interact digitially!
Wow, I loved baby dolls when I was growing up
The new generation though, hmmm, not in my family, I didn't notice any of the kids taking a liking to baby dolls
Now Barbie, they loved Barbie!
But pretending you're feeding a baby doll and getting her to sleep and all that, carrying her around sometimes
That was me. 

I remember one time I was about 9, and it was storming really bad
I got my baby doll, wrapped her up and watched over her, kept her safe like a mama

How about, OMG, how about:
One day when Moonflower was a little baby
It was storming, as it did often.
But 
But I had like a flashback to being a little girl with my doll but this time it was my real baby

😂😂
