Errands

I've done a good job of allowing the kids to stay home and play while I take care of errands alone much of their lives. Because of this they truly don't enjoy running errands, especially Ellie. Max can be convinced sometimes. And, Clair is the exception as she just loves running around and seeing the world. 

Yesterday I decided to bring Max and Ellie with me to grocery shop despite their protest largely because David was so busy with a big house project and couldn't mediate fights and respond to needs. They weren't pleased but once I to the car they were good spirited. 

I decided to treat them to something they rarely get if they behaved and they did. We all stopped st Starbucks and I got them frappochinos! They were so pyhsched. Best faces all day! Too bad it's a love a sugar, but still love these moments. I was grouchy and stressed out with everything going on so this was my good moment of the day.
