Kaden...what a handful he is!


Is there anything Kaden hates more than going shopping?? Maybe when I don't let him push the cart! If he pushes the cart he's happy, but I'm stressed because he's so careless with it. I give him 3 warnings before I take it away, and then he gets mad and kicks the cart! It's kinda funny when he does that, the one time he hurt his toe. Good he deserves it! If I don't even let him push the cart, he's angry boy the whole time! Take tonight, we ran to Walmart to pick some stuff up for the race this weekend. I let him push the cart since it was kinda empty, but as Keith and I were trying to find the best pasta for the guys (carbs and fiber and low sodium, ugg!) Salem and Kaden got a little crazy with the cart. Nothing too serious, but enough to get a warning. I don't remember what else he did, but it was shortly after that he lost the cart pushing. He wasn't happy and started to fit. Oh well, life sucks kid, learn from it! And then he got upset WM doesn't carry saturn peaches, not my fault! We got enough other fruits! And then he wanted a thing of chocolate milk, nope, we've got mix at home. Can't recall what else, I kind of tune him out. When we got to the register he gave me a big hug and told me he was sorry for getting so upset! Thank you Kaden, but don't get so angry in the first place! It was sweet, but I know it won't change anything next time.

Salem on the other hand was fine for the most part. He was messing around with Kaden and the cart, which had caused Kaden to lose one warning. Salem would lose his electronics. He didn't though.

Shock to me, neither of them mentioned the toy isle! I was going to let them pick out a hot wheel car to take to the races, but oh well, they're fine!

We had a parent/teacher meeting with Salem's tonight. It was all the 5th grade parents meeting with the principal and then with the teachers. We let the kids play on the playground during it. Finally got to meet Salem's teacher. I warned her about Salem's mesing desk habits and she really didn't seem fazed by it. I said last year he stayed afterschool every friday to clean it, but she said they sometimes get time during class. Ha, he did last year too and didn't do it. She said she'd have the girls help him out. There's not enough girls for that, plus it doesn't give him the right view on it. HE needs to clean it and keep it that way! She said they have colored folders to put the stuff in. I saw plenty of papers not in those folders tonight! And she said they are to put their papers in their planners. Yeah supposed to is the key word. Salem does not! Plus he had 4 broken pencils and numerous broken paper clips. And that was just from a quick look. But we do have a solution for the pencils, so hope that helps. But I'm sure the teacher will learn quickly how he is. Oh and she is okay with wiggly kids, good, cause I said he sure is wiggly!!!

We've got most of the food ready for this weekend. LOTS of fruit, making spaghetti for dinner saturday and pancakes and bacon and eggs for sunday breakfast. I'm making that for the whole team. I guess last count was 8 people! Hope I bought enough! We'll see.

Alright, gotta go to bed. Bust day tomorrow cooking stuff and packing! Gotta get stuff ready to keep the kids...aka Kaden busy!
