Time is going by spectacularly fast this week. After last night's blog ranting, I felt vented and calmer but also a little guilty. Okay, a lot guilty. R and I took the kids back to Six Flags today, but we only stayed a few hours when S started to feel bad and wanted to come home. Mom opted out of today's trip, probably pretty grateful for some time completely alone and the peace and quiet that follows that. For Mom's sake, I hope tonight is a peaceful, uneventful night. We figured out which ride might have put a jump start on the upchucking of last night, and have vowed to avoid it from now on.
The kids dyed Easter eggs tonight, which is always a lot of fun. I'm proud and a little surprised to report that neither the kids or any of the furniture, walls, or floor got dyed as well. If we could just convince them that real eggs are slightly more fragile and need to be treated more gently than the plastic ones. Oh and also that they don't contain candy. Not even if you dig into the very middle.
R and I decided to buy the kids a pinata this year. I can't really tell you why, other than it seemed like a good idea at the time. So today I shoved some candy in it and we let the kids have at it. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time. The big concern was that both kids wanted to be right there at the pinata, which is only a problem when one of them has a bat and is swinging it wildly. S started off not wanting to hurt the pinata, but got over that after T's first big hit. They ended up knocking it down before they could break it open. That didn't deter T one iota. He pulverized that over sized egg and was so excited about getting to hit AND damage something without getting in trouble that S got the majority of the candy and T didn't even care. I think we might be onto something.
