Happenings of our day.

Today I made the mistake of putting my oldest son in the wrong car seat.  There were tears.  Lots of big, sad drops. During our twenty five minute car ride, I was reminded at least eight teen times in a hysterical voice that "Matheson does not want to sit in THAT car seat, he wants to sit in THIS car seat."  Meanwhile, Matheson is staring very sweetly and contentedly out the window.

Later this evening, the last band aid fell off of Jedidiah's toe.  There was a blister that healed over a week ago. But there were bitter tears, and according to him it was entirely necessary for me to pack the kids up and take them to the drugstore in the pouring rain after dark to get him a band aid.  He didn't get a band aid though.  He did get put in bed.
