terrible Two'sdays

Mister at his best.
This is Adam's first love, Charis.
note the raquets
Luke playing in the grass.
Lillian has her purse, cell phone and car. Little mommy on the go.
We met our friends, the Foss family, at the library this morning. We did good until Adam saw the movie section and realized there was a Veggie Tale movie. He threw a tantrum because he wanted to watch Bob and Larry then and there. We were out the door pretty quickly.



Today at four we had play group at our house. That is what the pictures are from. The kids played inside for awhile but outside is where they had the most fun. And I might add there might not be anything more frightening than children with raquets.



My parents will laugh when they hear this story because I did the same thing. So first you have to know that we are firm believers in FIRST time obedience; Delayed obedience is disobedience. Adam threw his blocks all of the floor and I asked him to clean them up. He wouldn't pick it up so I said "Adam I asked you to pick up the blocks and you disobeyed. I am going to spank you." I spanked him. He cried. "Adam pick up the blocks." Nothing. "Adam you disobeyed mommy I am going to spank you." Spank. Cry. "Adam pick up the blocks." etc... this went on for awhile and finally my defiant child picked up the blocks. And I was exhausted after the whole event.
