Wednesday:

This morning we headed up to a Mom's Gathering at Butterfly Elements. While we were driving up Mopac, I said out loud to myself, "I forgot to brush my teeth this morning." Liam heard me and with deep concern in his voice asked, "You did?" I affirmed that I had and I think he tried to give me comfort when he said, "I did not brush my teeth either." He always says some of the funniest things. We get there and meet a couple other mamas, and Liam and Annabelle played around the studio chasing each other. Every now and then I'd hear Liam tell her, "Don't bite me Anbel! That's not funny!" She does bite a lot. I wonder what's with that.

We headed out a little after 12:00 and both the kids napped in the car on the way back down to south Austin. It was almost an hour, so I felt it safe to get through one of the grocery stores, so we went to Sunflower. Liam started out walking next to the cart, then he wanted it, then he had to potty, then wanted to stay out of the cart....and it went on and on. We were glad to get home since Liam was 'SO hungry!' as he said over and over. We had lunch of yellow watermelon, clementines and Liam had a PBJ. I think I'm going to end this whole short order cook thing I have going on and just make everyone eat the same thing. It's so much simpler that way.

Liam laid down for a bit while Annabelle napped, then after she woke, we headed out to HEB to do our shopping there. After buying all our groceries and getting to check out, ringing every thing up, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. So...I left the groceries, loaded the kids, drove home, got my wallet, went back to HEB, unloaded the kids, checked out, loaded them back up, went home and unloaded everything. Wow, that was a pain in the you know what.

This all delayed our dinner, which we were having Beth and Ari over for, and so they came over a little early so she could wrangle the kids while I finished up the Lazy Enchiladas. The kids played and at dinner, Liam and Ari had funny conversation about Ari's school.
"Did you go to time out, Ari?" Liam asked.
"Yes, I did. I threw a truck down."
"You did?!?" Liam responded with shock in his voice.
"Yeah."Ari sheepishly replied.
"Ok." Liam said just before he went back to playing.
We all thought the conversation was really amusing. After dinner, we picked up toys and said good-bye to our friends since it was a quarter to 9:00 and bedtime was well passed for the Phy kids.

Liam went to bed with no fight.
