On Friday afternoon a very determined Miss. Matea collected her boots, hat, and outdoor clothing, and requested to go outside. So I put sweet Asher down for a nap, and headed outside with the M & M's.
Everything started out great!
We played in the snow....
slid down the hills...
if you were Mack, you ate as much of the fresh snow as you could before your Mom caught you!
and then for some reason Matea thought it would be a good idea for her to sit in the van....in the garage.
I thought that she should play outside in the sunshine, and get some fresh air.
She has her agenda, and I had mine....there was no meeting in the middle for her :(
In this picture she is actually repeatedly yelling "Wah"....it would almost be a little bit funny if she wasn't so loud and persistent!
and that, my friends, is what a five year old having a temper tantrum on the front lawn looks like :)
Tomorrow will be better, right?
Right after I took this picture Mack turned around and scooted RIGHT IN FRONT of a car driven by a little old lady! I mouthed "I'm sorry", as I was trying in vain to hoist Matea up off the sidewalk and engage her in play (which was dumb because she was literally in the middle of kicking and screaming - of course she doesn't want to go for a sled ride!). and the little old lady pulled right up beside me, rolled down her window and said......
"don't worry honey! We have all had children, and we have all been where you are right now! Don't worry!"
I thought that was really sweet.
