Bad day!

Yeasterday was such a bad day. Pete was home sick still so we were all home together. Bryson was really driving us crazy. We decided that he never shuts up. If he's not talking, he's singing, or making noises with his mouth. And, he just loves jumping all over us. Which, in our current conditions, isn't very pleasant. He's not so good with listening to us either{venting, sorry}. By 6:00 we were ready to pull our hair out. We thought he just needed to get out of the house. So, we decided to go out to eat at Red Robins. BAD IDEA! He was SO naughty!! It was really embarrassing! He screamed because he wanted to play with the video games at the front of the place, he cried because he wanted a balloon, he was mad about his food, and then he spilled Pete's drink all over the table. I just wanted to pack up and leave. The waitress was really nice about it. She brought Bryson a free ice cream sundae and that shut him up and made him happy for like 5 minutes. That gave us enough time to scarf down our food. When Pete was done eating he took Bryson to play with the stupid video games and I stayed and ate a few more french fries and then payed the bill. As we were walking out the front doors I realized I gave the waitress WAY to much money to cover the bill. She would get a big fat tip. I guess my brain was too frazzled or something. I begged Pete to go talk to her and get some of the money back. But, he wouldn't so, I had to go back in and embarrass myself further. I tagged her down and asked her if I gave her two 20's. She said, "yeah, I was wondering about that. I was like dang that was nice of them". She was really nice about it and gave me back all the money and let me redo the math. I felt SO stupid. I gave her back the amount needed and got the H _ _ _ out of there. What a rotten evening. Bryson fell asleep on the ride home. Thank goodness. I wasn't looking forward to conviencing him to go to sleep after we got home. I'm glad he did it on his own. When we got home we layed him in his bed, put our jammies on, sat on the couch, and heaved a HUGH sigh of relief!

    The only good thing about days like that is that they only last 24 hours!

    I've so had days like that! We don't go out to dinner with the kids hardly ever. I don't enjoy my meal nearly as much. We should switch nights so we both have a little peace!

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
