Payday!! Can I get an "amen"? I ran some much-needed errands today. I had promised Jack a "happy face" pancake from IHOP all week long (because they were free on Friday for Halloween for kids) and he got excited every time he saw the commercials, so I had to make good on my promise. I took him in and they brought the giant pancake to him with just the whipped cream on it in the shape of a smiley face and they also brought him a little cup of candy corn and mini-Oreos and he was able to build his own face! While he was doing that, I was shovelling scrambled eggs with cheese into his mouth as fast as I could because that is the last thing my child needs is to send him into sugar shock. He ended up eating the entire face off of the pancake and throwing a fit if I tried to break pieces off for him to eat, so I just fed my potato soup to him and he was happy with that. He had a great time with that. When we got back to the car, we saw a little garden spider on my bumper and Jack yelled, "MOMMY!!! IT'S A TA-WANCH-A-WAH!!!!!!" and he made me save it and put it on a leaf and carry it to a tree, so that it wouldn't fly off of my bumper as I drove, haha.
After IHOP, we ran by Kohl's for a couple of shirts. One for Jack and one for Sam for his birthday shirt (which will be late since I have to make it and mail it). I saw my friend Melanie there with her grandbaby and I talked to her for long enough to make Jack decide I needed to buy him a Thomas track and cars ($80) and when I refused, he decided to lay in the floor until I changed my mind. It was like a peaceful protest. He wasn't screaming or anything --- just laying there. When I threatened to leave him, he jumped up pretty quickly!
Other than that, it was just business as usual. I made blanket tents for Jack while he watched Brainsurge and then he went off to sleep like a good baby. :)
