Friday Night

TGIF once again! This is the Princess's last Friday of the school year. She only has 4 days of school left...wow! Where does the time go? I am so looking forward to NOT getting up at 6:00 every weekday! Of course the Prince will see to it that I am up by 7:00 every day but I may be able to bribe him into climbing in with me and watching a Scooby Doo or something while I catch a few more winks. :) The boys and I got groceries this morning and they were pretty good. The Prince asked if we could get a car cart and my answer was "Absolutely not!" I know, Iknow, I am a mean Mommy, but when the Prince and the Knight sit together in a cart, bad things happen. Someone ends up getting hit, kicked, or pinched. I stand by my choice because we made it out of the grocery store alive! The Prince had one meltdown but it ended up being kind of positive, at least for me. The Knight dropped a box of crackers on the Prince. It was a box of Townhouse crackers, nothing too heavy. Well, the Prince took offense and burst into tears. I waited for him calm down and then asked him if it really hurt all that bad. He wiped his eyes, thought about it for a minute, and said "no". We just kept on shopping. When we were done shopping and heading out the door, I had a lady stop me and compliment me on how I handled the situation. Hey! I will take it! Usually I get glares and sideways glances from strangers. A compliment to a mom of a 2 year old boy and an almost 4 year old boy is worth its weight in gold! A banner day, indeed!

Today DadOf3 came home for lunch and it was so beautiful outside that we had to take the boys out to play. DadOf3 and the Prince practiced playing baseball for a while and then we moved on to the backyard so DadOf3 could eat his lunch. Prince was not happy and threw a little hissy fit. After some negotiations, he decided that being in the backyard was better than going up early to nap and all was well once again.

Tonight we headed out to one of our favorite restaurants for supper. The kids were pretty good, despite the fact that I had to take kids to the bathroom three times. Oh well - when you gotta go, you gotta go!
