Monday was May Day! We had 4 neighbors bring by May day baskets for the girls, it was too cute and fun to watch. Presley and I had talked about maybe putting some together for some of the neighbors. At dinner Steve casually said that we weren't going to do it. Presley freaked out! Started screaming, crying, ran and hid behind a chair and threw a shoe across the room.....so that was it, we weren't doing it. There was no way we could give in to that behavior!
I was sad for them b/c I think they would've enjoyed it but I think we are at that point where follow-thru to punishments and making them realize that they need to control their behavior and attitudes and how the respond to things.
Of course, this was the night that Piper said that 'Daddy, ruined everything for her beautiful sister'....and Steve and I just started laughing hysterically!
There have been a lot of times lately where one of them is throwing an absolute fit about something and it's so ridiculous and FUNNY! That I just laugh! I really try to hide it, but sometimes it's just not possible! The threat of taking videos of their meltdowns usually gets them to calm down a bit too! :)
Tuesday we met neighbors Sarah, Kyle, Collins, Carver and Cohen at El Mariachi for a Dos de Mayo dinner! Figured we would totally skip Cinco de Mayo at the restaurant b/c we know it will be busy! Dinner went good, even with 5 kids! They ate and they were good and each earned a quarter for the candy/gum machine!
Finally the weather is getting nice and our weekends are looking SO busy again!
