Dramatic Moments… and a Night Out!

When Emma decides she wants something… watch out!  She can be a tad dramatic… She decided that she wanted Ben to pick up her doll for her, but he didn’t want to.  It turned into an all out temper tantrum where she was within inches of picking  up her doll, but wouldn’t move so she could reach it.  It was actually quite entertaining watching her flop around while Ben just shook his head and walked off.  Once she finally gave up, moved slightly, and picked up her doll, she was completely happy!  Crazy girl!

We had an appointment at the bank this afternoon to go over our investments and do some financial planning.  We knew it wouldn’t be a good idea to bring the kids, so we asked my parents if they would babysit for us.  They were going to be going in to Lethbridge so they told me they’d call and let me know if they would be available or not.  Just before 3:00 they called and said that they’d been delayed at the airport and that they would be going in to Lethbridge and that they would just take the kids with them.  The kids were more than excited to get to go with Grandma and Grandpa!  They picked them up about 3:20 and we had our appointment at 4:00.  We didn’t get out until 5:15… and another appointment set up for next week!

Since the kids were gone (and neither of us wanted to cook dinner), we headed down to Athen’s for something to eat.  It was so enjoyable just being by ourselves!  We got a few other errands done and then I got Lennard’s hair cut too before the kids got home.  They were so wired and talking a mile a minute that it took us a while to get them calmed down enough to go to bed.  It’s nice to know that they loved every minute of their time with grandma and grandpa!
