Our Funny but not so Funny story!!!

So the day that the Guys went back to New York to get their suits all of us girls were stuck home with the kids all day long. So later that night we met them at a really good pizza place for dinner and the guys took the kids home and we went out to a mall to do some more shopping. Little did we know it would be a huge adventure. We went to the mall and had a blast in the few stores we went in. We got there at about 8:00 and it closed at 9:30 so we didn't have much time. We did our shopping until it closed. Then we left the mall and went running to our car because it was only 10 degrees outside and I am a BABY when it comes to being cold. I have never been that cold in my life. We got in the car and were so glad to be out of that weather and Holly went to start the car. It didn't start. You have to be kidding me right. That is what we all were thinking. So now we are thinking: the mall was closing, it was colder than ever, and Holly's house was about an hour away so there wasn't any way the guys could help us. So I asked holly if she had jumper cables and we got out to see what we could do. Holly and I stayed with the car and started to set up the cables and Debbie and Kim ran in to try to find someone to help. They found a young couple with a truck who came over to help. I had everything set up and ready to jump when we realized that this guy didn't know how to open his hood. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! How do you not know how to open your hood??? We tried for about 10 min and finally gave up on him and about that time the car next to us turned on and we saw that owners walking up. We asked them for help and the guy said "Sure, but I don't think my car can jump yours." I said “it shouldn't be a problem. I have the cables ready and can do it, if you can pop your hood.” The guy said again "No I don't think my car can do that.” So he opened his hood and there was some kind of cover bolted down to the whole thing so we couldn't get to the battery. So he said sorry and left. So now, we have been outside in 10 degree weather for about 20 min, I can't feel my fingers, none of us have gloves, hats or scarf's because we were going to be in a mall and didn't think we would need them, my ears are as hard as rocks and I am thinking they are going to fall off any time now and I can't stop laughing because we have had two people stop to help us now and they were both of no use!! So Debbie and Kim ran inside again to go find a mall security guard to help us. As they were running in a girl about our age comes over and says she will jump us and pulls over. She tries too, but the cables keep falling off because they are too short and they have this weird piece on them that is not fitting on her car. About 5 min later the Security guy shows up and he helps us get it going. We get back in the car and can't move because we are frozen and have to drive an hour to get home. Let’s just say that this is a shopping trip we will never forget. I think we laughed the whole way home! I will never complain about being cold again!

It was so fun to have all of you guys out here! I think shopping in NY was my favorite . . . . and that pizza at Rudy's in Little Italy. . . . my mouth waters for it still!! The snowball fight and bobbing seal at the aquarium, SO funny - the Please Touch Museum, super cool, but overpriced for a 90 minute adventure.....and the dead car battery, turning into a breathing icicle, absolutely priceless! :) Hope you guys can come back this summer!
