The people that live at WalMart...

Sorry it has been another week. ugggh I keep making plans to get on here, but never get logged in before something comes up.

So, last night Chloe ripped a box that Donna's Disney Princess markers had come in. She was very frusterated, but took it well. About 5 minutes later Donna walks into the room and says "Mom, you know those ppeople that live at WalMart?" I said"You mean the people that work at WalMart?" She just looks at me. Then "Do you think those people that live at Wal MArt could give me a new box if I asked them, I don't need the markers, just to box. So we shouldn't have to pay money for it" "Donna, Those people just work at WalMart like daddy works in DesMoines, They have homes that they live in, just like daddy lives here with us. But he goes to work everyday. The people at WalMart are the same way. They work there, but go home to their families at the end of their day. Also, we may be able to buy you a new box of markers if I can find one, (I think we only have 2 of the 8 left anyway) but we can't have just to box hon." She stood there looking at me like I was nuts for a minute. Then rolled her eyes and stormed off.

Later I asked Chloe to help pick something up. She didn't want to help, she kept playing while everyone else pick-up. I called her in, so I could talk to her. She comes in the room full of additude and puts her hand up infront of her and says "Noone can talk to me, and I will not listen" put her hand on her hip and sauntered off.

Ethan has started walking. He is getting into everything and has started to fight back when his siblings try to make him do stuff. We were at WalMart and in the check-out line. We were in a hurry (I know, shocking) and I was trying to get everything up on the counter so we could get checked out. Donna kept picking at Ethan and holding his hand still. He finaly got fed up with her and chewed her out! It was so cute, if only it hadn't been loud enough for Adam to hear from home. lol

Well, I better go, it seems that the girls left cookies in Ethans reach and he is "leaving a trail" everywhere he goes.



Today I am very thankful for another school year!! (don't judge me untill you are home with my 4 kids everyday alone for a summer, ending the summer with 2 more boys as well)

I am very thankful for Alex's teacher! She is working hard to help Alex and make school work for him, while not calling attention to his special needs. I am loving her so far.

I am thankful for time alone with Ethan. We kept him up after the other kids went to bed a couple days ago. He is such a fun little boy when he can be.

P.S. I'll try to get pictures posted later of Donna and Alex on the first day of school.
