Why?

why is is that when you are in the store if one child is being good the other one is having a melt down? Why can they not just both be good at the same time? I was in the store with Benjamin and Alex and benjamin just had a major melt down. Alex started crying becasue he was bing sympathetic with his brother but I eventually had to take Benjamin out of the store. Stephen was with me so I left Alex with him. But I swear benjamin was just being a pill.

Last Friday I was able to go on a date with Stephen with out children. That was really nice since I have not been without the boys for who knows how long. We went to see the movie The Last airbender which was a lot of fun. THen we went out to dinner at the Golden Tent which is a mongolian grill reataurant in Salem. IT was so nice eating dinner without having to worry wither someone besides myself was getting enough to eat. It was nic to be able to eat dinner without someone wanting what I was eating as well. It was nice to be able to have a break from my two darling boys. By the time we got home Alex was so tired that he slept through the night without having me rock him in the middle of the night. THat was wonderful. On Saturday we went into portland to go to one of the malls there and both boys through fits. It made me wonder why we take them anywhere at all.

Cutting ones hair

Benjamin decided to cut his own hair this morning. Now I am going to have to buzz his head to make his hair not look so funny. I have no idea what possessed him except that he is a typical three and a half year old. I willl post a picture of his buzz once I get it done. But for now this is what the top of his head looks like! So with the pictures I added Benjamin now Has a buzz. I keep looking over my shoulder because he look older.
