Good Morning / Bad Afternoon

This morning Evan and Noah were very good. For lunch we met up with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls at Central Market North. We ate lunch upstairs and Evan and Noah were very well behaved. I brought a lot of food and snacks to keep them occupied. I also bought them smoothies. There was another mom there with a 4 year-old boy, so after the lunch we went to the playground together. Evan and Noah had a great time playing. I gave them a 5 minute warning, then a 1 minute warning. I had to pick up Noah because he didn’t want to leave. Then, Evan wanted to keep showing me things he could do on the bars. I let him show me one thing, then I said we needed to leave. He became very angry and was yelling at me. I just ignored him, but he was yelling while we passed all the people eating lunch outside. Both boys were screaming and crying.

On the way home I had to stop at a vacuum repair place. Our vacuum cleaner has not been working right for a while. It vacuums some, but the brush doesn’t move like it is supposed to. The guy told me it would probably cost $69 or so to fix it. I decided to pass. We only paid about double that for the vacuum in the first place. They had some toys for kids to play with at the Sew and Vac shop. Then, Noah threw another fit when it was time to leave because he didn’t want to leave the toys.

By the time we got home both boys were seriously cranky and in need of naps, but of course neither one did today. I tried lying down with Noah, but Evan started crying because I wasn’t able to give him attention and then Noah wasn’t sleeping because he heard Evan.

Eventually I gave up on Noah’s nap and let him come downstairs. He was really cranky though.

When Morry got home we decided to go to an early dinner. The boys were in bad moods so we just picked a place close to home, Craig-Os. Evan ate a lot of pizza. Noah didn’t eat very much.

We just put the boys to bed. I really hope they fall asleep soon.
