So I had my first minor embarassing situation in public with the boys on my own… we were at the dollar store and I told Gavin he could not have the two objects he wanted so he screamed and cried and all along I kept saying – no I told you no… he even went so far as to sit on the floor in front of the register so after paying I picked him up, pushed the stroller and we went outside where I sat him down on a bench while I got the other two ready to go home… he continued to cry about the duckies he wanted and scream and I just kept saying – mommy said no so you are going to have to stop. He cried in 7-11 when we went to get milk and the lady at the register said – yup gotta teach them young they can’t have everything they want… he cried half the way home from the store too. The kid has staying power I must say! I am so proud that I did not totally lose my temper, I did not yell at him, no spanking just a stern mommy says no so that is that! The world did not end, there was no condemnation rung down on my head for having a screaming child – just a – you have your hands full. What a confidence builder!
I ran into one of the people I was in senior choir with in front of the church and we had a nice chat… she offered to have us over to use her pool once she gets back from bible camp… I am pretty sure I know who it is. Sadly I am horrible with names and faces especially since I have not been in choir since just before the boys were born! I looked her up in the picture directory – what a lovely thing that is! Apparently she has a grandson around the same age as the boys. I finally sent off the baby gift for cousin Brad and Stacie’s little one Hailey. Cousin Amber is due anytime now and Alan and Xinny are expecting in August. Once I know what Amber’s is I can plan out her gift.
Tonight we are going to the Bleau’s for dinner and visiting, tomorrow my mom should be taking the twins since she didn’t on Wednesday – she was ill still. The boys are dying to go over there and play with her dog and the sandbox. That is the $1.00 toy I let them buy at the store – a sand bucket in the shape of a little tower. Those are to go to my mom’s and stay there.
I really need to find a spare moment and get some scrapbooking done. I have some ideas for Emanuel’s Canada Day page I am hoping I can pull off… Karyn sent me a picture of my stamps and pens that came in yesterday as well. She still does not have her car back either! UGH. Gotta love life right? Well other than that I have a house to clean. laundry to fold and kids to get off to nap…
