Golf, Froyo, and Fun

On Friday T had a meeting in town so we went with him.  We dropped him off and then the girls and I went to the Dollar Store.  It was actually the first time I’d taken them to a store by myself and they did so well!  They stayed with me and listened/obeyed right away and even stood relatively still while I picked a few cards out. 

I implemented a “one finger” rule.  I had heard of someone else doing this and thought it was a great idea.  They can use one finger to touch whatever they like…eliminating the problem of picking things up, but still allowing them to touch things as they so long to do.  It worked out well now that Peanut pretty much takes up the entire basket and I can’t have them in it like I usually do. I let them each pick out an item for being so good.  Boo chose a new pair of butterfly wings, orange ones.  Bug chose a little ceramic monkey to paint.  They were both thrilled and it only cost $2. :)

After that we met Noni for lunch and Boo went home with her for a nap.  Bug and I went to the grocery store, and picked up a few things.  I really like taking the girls places by themselves so they can get a little extra attention, not only from me but from others.  There were several older people who talked to K and commented on her curly hair or on what a big helper she is.  When I have all three she tends to be the least noticed since she is the biggest.  (Peanut was in her carseat in the basket and covered up.)

After our shopping we went and picked up Daddy and headed to the golf course.  We were planning to take K golfing, but when we got there they said it was 6 and up on the course, no exceptions.  Since I had to feed Peanut she and T just went to the driving range.  She is really enjoying golfing!  I hope she continues to like it because it is a great activity they can do together!

We happened to be near out favorite Frozen Yogurt place so we introduced her to the wonders of FroYo.  We have only been when on “date night” so the girls had never had it before.  Of course it was a huge hit!  She loved being able to pick out her own toppings and only got a little overzealous…

Or maybe a lot. :)

Wait…we found the whipped cream.  And sprinkles. And caramel sauce. And of course we had to have a cherry on top!

And yes she said her tummy was hurting and didn’t finish it all…thank goodness!

We ran a few more errands and then met back up with Noni and Boo for dinner and a little fun.  Peanut had her first “carrousel” ride.

Bug had been playing on my phone and got it all smudgy – there that’s better.

After that Bug and Boo went home with Noni for a sleepover.  What a fun day!
