With all the kids home from school for the summer, today was our first outing to town to run errands and get groceries. To celebrate the beginning of summer I let the kids each pick out a Betta fish. We went to the pet store and each kid got to pick one out.The fish would be theirs to feed and take care of. That is where it all began. I never heard "I want" so many times in one day. I want a different kind of fish, I want these colored rocks for my fish bowl, and I want these plants in my bowl. Can I have this, I want this, can we get it Pleeeese!? That went on for the remainder of the day no matter where we went, stores, grocery store, mall. The answer never changed, it was always, "No". I am wondering where this came from and what I am doing wrong. Eventually I had enough and cut my errands short and decided this would be the last shopping trip with all three kids. They also did not get their ice cream treat for the ride home. Time for a little episode of Madame Blueberry from Veggie tales for these kids.
We were informed
about Carly, a girl on the youth serpentine team. She was riding bareback over
the weekend and came off her horse and broke her femur in the hip area. So awful
for her and she has to have plates and screws.
