Beau Michael pushes his 'big twucks' all around with an energy that is out of this world! It's amazing that they hold up as long as they have. Well, last night as we were all enjoying the evening outside, Beau was pushing his favorite big blue dump truck around when suddenly he stopped and started screaming, "OH NO, MY TWUCK IS BOKEN!" and then he began to cry, so heartbroken. I noticed the right rear wheel had popped off, and try as Daddy might, we could not get it back on. So, 'another one bites the dust', I guess. He'll get over it I'm sure.

On another note...yesterday our plan: SEE SHREK 3. I thought it started at 12:45, so we all got ready, left by 12:30, and when we got there the movie had started at 12:25, and so we had already missed the 1st 20 minutes. I know that the trailers take up alot of the 1st 20 minutes, but I didn't want to feel rushed to get into the theater, and try to find a seat for 4 kids in the dark. So, the next showing was scheduled for 2:30, I decided to go have lunch, and play till then. Drew did not want to leave. We went to a nearby Burger King, and Drew was telling me how she was starving, yet she did not eat one bite of her food! This made me so angry! I don't take them out to eat anymore due to this, I pay for the food, then throw it away!
They played for awhile, Beau started to look as if he needed to go potty, I hollered him out to take him, and he actually pooped in the toilet! I was so happy about this, and so he ran back out to play. Only within minutes, he's hollering, "Mom! I pooped!" He had pooped more in his underwear! AUUGHH! I carried him to the bathroom, and luckily had a plastic bag and an extra diaper of Leah's. Got that taken care of.
As we are leaving Drew becomes terribly upset that we left only steps ahead of her. This puts her moodiness into motion. Then I announce that I wanted to stop at the craft store to look at stepping stone supplies, and she goes over the edge! She is bawling that we will miss the movie again, and keeps on, NEVER calms down. She insists to stay in the van and wait for me, I say NO, I don't let them do that, plus it's 78 degrees outside, so much hotter in a still van. She started throwing her booster seat down, hits Beau in the leg, he's bawling now, everyone's tired already. I tell her, "NO SHREK! WE'RE GOING HOME!" I hate this, but she has to learn a lesson. TANTRUM=NO MOVIE! So, this prevents all my plans for the day while we are in town. Once I got home, I had all 3 youngest lay down for naps. Drew is running on empty, these long summer days are catching up with her. I know this about Drew, she needs her sleep or all falls apart. And would you know, after she woke up from her nap, she said to me, "I should take a nap everyday Mom!" Yes, especially during the summertime!
