Grandma got to spend some time with just Jaden doing some errands. We went to the library, to my school to get a few things done and then to a Auto Body Shop to get an estimate on repairs. He talked my vice principal's "ear off" but since he has a 6 year old son, he understood. I am not sure the Body Shop manager was so cool with Jaden getting behind the desk and getting between him and his computer. Jaden did come back around but not before asking him for something to drink. No luck. After lunch, the boys watched The Penquins of Madagascar while Keira slept. Then off to the last day at the city Pool. Allt hree kids are so comfortable in the water now, it is great to see. Jaden makes friends in a minute, Cameron is always trying to learn a new skill like swimming down to the bottom of the pool, Keira likes to be in the water so much she bends her knees so the water comes up to her shoulders while she plays in the shallow end.
Sloppy Joes did not go over very well at dinner tonight. I hadn't had them in years and certainly enjoyed mine. Then I took the kids to Mac Donalds to use a coupon for a free ice cream cone the boys got from Nature Camp. The store's ice cream machine was broken so we got parfaits instead. I hate to say this but three of them did not behave well at the playground. It seemed every few minutes they found some way to be doing something they should not do- Keira was eating Jaden parfait and then found a broom in the corner to play with. I look over and the boys are walking on the tables. After we discuss this they are climbing on the poles that hold up the second layer. I know they can't read to know this is not ok but.... Then the constant, can we buy a drink? a happy meal? some chicken nuggets? etc. Along with the fact that the play area was freezing cold, I am sorry to say this was not the highlight of my day.
