A great weekend

I was sad to see it end. Nate took Friday and Saturday and Sunday off! I can't tell you the last time he even took a 2 day weekend let alone a 3 day weekend! It was just nice to have the time together. I drug him to the zoo yesterday. He told me last night that he didn't really want to go at first, but was glad that I got him to go. He really enjoyed the girls reactions to the animals. He also bought Shelby a Big Wheel bike on Saturday night. That little girl has him soooo wrapped around her little finger. He is in serious trouble when she figures that out! Her little legs are not quite long enough to reach the pedals, but a towel behind her helps. I'll have to get some pics to post.

Shelby has been testing, testing, testing lately. She is super stubborn and has a hard time letting go of things once she has them in her thoughts. She had Nate clash worse than she and I do, and that's not surprising since they are alike (we all know it's true). I have been reading 1-2-3 Magic and another toddler book to try to gather some ideas for dealing with her and keeping my sanity. I keep telling Nate that she is a great and fun little girl when not driving me crazy.

Sarah is trying to get a piece of that making mommy crazy action. She has taken to throwing crying tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Last night I was treated to about 10 minutes of screaming because I was done giving out the grapes, but she wasn't done eating them! She looks and sounds just pitiful when she starts in.
