Crabby Kids

Today was a day that just I just was counting down the hours till bedtime. Brayden was not a happy camper after school and was just down right rude/mean...he talks in a growling voice and refuses to look at you. He had to spit his gum out at school and he was not too happy about it. Yes, I don't know what I was thinking letting him have a piece this morning! Becca and Andrea were actually full of it earlier in the day, chasing each other and just giggling, so fun to hear. For some reason they only napped for about an hour, so late in the day they both were running on empty. We ended the afternoon at Rivertown Crossing playing in the fountain. After Brayden had about 5 meltdowns about anything and everything I realized I need to actually engage. So we played duck duck goose, tag, red light-green light-they were half way okay and thankfully Ron met us and took us home. I had made the mistake of thinking Becca could practice riding her bike across the river bridge. I forgot she is not the energizer bunny like Brayden and although she did okay she was done after about 10 feet. It would have taken us another 40 minutes just to get back to the car. Anyway we did have some great smiles that made the day bearable on my part. Becca made my day when she asked for a hug at nap time then looked at me and said "you are my very best friend, mommy!" with a big grin on her face. Hope these pictures make you smile!

Andrea liked the cool feeling on the window.

Andrea hangs right in there with the older two!

Andrea is loving her books and will bring them to you if you are sitting down.
