Vacation day 12

I really was hoping that my little trek home would improve now that Phebe was here. Not that I don't LOVE hanging out with Jared and Ashlee but they work and I'm left home all day alone. So we had planned on taking the girls to the Super Mall to ride the carousel, return a couple of things and again look for a dress. I decided that I would be brave and take all 3 girls so mom could rest a little after working last night. So as we drove down the freeway I started to hear a really loud noise and I thought it was a passing semi truck but no... JUST MY LUCK IT WAS A FLAT TIRE. So here I am on the side of the freeway with 3 kids freaking out. I get out, give them some animal crackers and call mom and Phebe who are a head of us and let them know whats going on. I called Anthony for some reason and he wanted to know all this information which I did my best to give him all the right answers but when he asked if there was a spare tire I had to, in a dress, lay down on the ground and look under the car for the tire. It was there..... and it was flat. BUT... and passing WADOT worker saw me and stopped to help. Phebe and Mom came back for us and we made it to Sam's Club to get the tire fixed and grab a bite. Phebe went home to pick up Anthony to fix the tire and Mom, the girls and I went to the mall. They did really well. When we went in stores they found the nearest mirror and made silly faces or danced around. Then back to the carousel for more rides. Thankfully Terina wanted to sit on the sled this time. The girls each ogot a new outfit, 1 ride in the little cars and by the time we were done with that Anthony and Phebe had made it back. I brought the girls home, we had some ice cream after a long day and then played a little outside. They got some dinner and now are watching a movie. I really hope we go to bed early tonight. It's been quite a day.
