Whoa What a Tuesday Evening

We rounded out the day with a jam-packed evening. Wasn't planned by any means. Started it with a little work on our letters, part of our summer occupational therapy with The Boy - which I incorporated in to his helping out with the Thank You notes! We shall ignore the improper hand grasp in favor of the deep concentration just this once (wink)

Shortly after? I had a hissy fit in the kitchen over MORE sugar ants (this time in the medicine cabinet of all places - apparently they had a cold of the pediatric variety and needed some Triaminic - hope they enjoyed it before their untimely death by Raid) and The Boy enjoyed Skittles as a reward for Hard Work on the letters U & C. David grilled up a super fantastic dinner of pork chops and we had a great supper before bath time. The Boy opted for bubbles tonight
And then we all got tattoos. No really - we all got one. Seriously. Mine is on my ankle!

And despite all this going on? We also spent every spare moment tearing the house apart looking for the Leapster. Every basket in The Boy's room. Every corner. Every pillowcase. No.Leapster.

At 9:45 p.m. a sobbing Boy came in our room. And David's eyes met mine in the mirror with S U C K E R written all over them. I freely admit that I did not put up much of a fight seeing as the old Leapster had a busted pencil and really how much fun can you have when half the games require the pencil to touch the screen?!? So we loaded up the truck, went to WalMart and now? Are the proud owners of a Leapster2 on sale at WallyWorld - and how about that it matches our tattoos!

Crazy busy evening and so no IHeartFaces entry tonight - will have to wait until Tuesday. Tomorrow on deck we have a doctor's appointment for The Boy. And then? Well then I'm hoping it is a Much Much Calmer, Quieter Tear-Free kinda evening. Surely yes since we now have a working Leapster, right?
