Library Day

Today was library day. We go every Tuesday for story hour. Today was quite an adventure to get out the door. We were late today for the first time. It wasn't my fault. We were trying to get out the door but Grace decided to throw a 20 minute tantrum. Not exaggerating. In fact, I would have just stayed home but that would be punishing Andrew also. Grace wanted to wear Andrew's flip flops today but I wouldn't let her. Sometimes she wants to wear her snow boots when it's 75 out, no big deal but I wasn't going to let her wear Andrew's flip flops that are way too big for her. Bill and Wendy (neighbors across the street and over one house) could hear her when I opened the door and were looking over to see if everything was ok. I just waved and they laughed. Grace finally came out carrying her shoes that she had taken off for the 2nd time. This girl can throw some tantrums. Rumor is that she got it from me. I can blame David for some things but I'm pretty sure this is all mine. She screamed all the way to the library. I called my friend to see if she would meet Andrew at the door so I could stay outside with Grace. I finally reached behind me and told Grace to hold my hand and she grabbed on tight with both hands. She finally calmed down but was still a little upset when we got there. I went ahead and took them both in and Grace didn't leave my lap. Not sure what it was but she needed mommy. Poor thing, I hope she begins talking more soon because she is having a really rough time not being able to communicate. God is really helping me though because it is really hard to handle all these tantrums. Other than that the day was good. I worked at church tonight and Papa Wayne came over early to stay with the kids for me. Grace of course didn't want me to leave but Papa took her outside and that made her happy. I've been busy getting ready for the big party on Saturday. Today I made the goody bags. They look really cute.

Tomorrow Heather, David, and Jeremiah are supposed to come over to play. Heather and I are going to work on the garden. I planted a few things today but I need someone to guide me. I know she loves doing things like this. Andrew is excited to have his best friend David come over. The other day I said something about David Goodman and he said David is my best friend. I asked what about Jeremiah and he said that Jeremiah is a little bit little. I said well, he is 3 like you and he said but mom, I'm 3 and a half. Apparently that makes him way too old for Jeremiah. So funny. Have a great day! Love you all!
