Tomorrow

A little back story: Mica's been singing songs from the musical Annie a lot lately. It's so funny because he'll be in his room cleaning singing. He sings all high pitched to fit the movie.

On with the story: Tonight Isaak was a cranky boy. He wouldn't try his dinner. When I told him that he had to try his dinner to go swimming at the Y, he threatened to throw something at me. I sent him to his room to cool off. I don't know what got into him. This is not his usual behavior. I do think that just like adults have off days or nights, kids do to. This was Isaak's off night.

Mica on the other hand ate his meal; even though it wasn't his favorite thing. Mica went to jujitsu and did really good. So good that he got a band for his belt. Awards are given for good behavior. Mica got one on being well disciplined.

Mica came home from the Y and wanted a snack. Isaak wanted one to. Isaak sort of lost it again when he heard that Mica could have a snack; when he couldn't. We have a rule in our house, if you want a snack you have to first eat your meal.

Mica went over to his breaking down brother and said, "Isaak there's always tomorrow. After that there's another tomorrow." I'm thinking he got this from the movie Annie.

Annie

Last night we corrupted our kids! They watched Annie, while eating dinner.

I had it on VHS from when we were little. Can you believe our VHS | DVD player still works? It's older than Mica is. Well Annie got stuck in it. VERY stuck. So much so that Daddy had to tear it apart to get it out. Now we don't know if we should put a VHS tape inside the thing or not?

By the way Annie was Daddy's choice. I just had to throw that in there. I think I'm the one that got him to like musicals.

Yesterday when I was running errands, there Annie was. $5 on DVD at Target. :)

We had an Annie night. The kids were totally into it. Now I know why they don't like kids watching TV and eating at the same time. The eating part is so slow.

Salmon, asparagus and pasta with olive oil and Parmesan cheese was our dinner.

Isaak lost interest a ways into it. Mica was zoned. I caught him smiling during the singing, dancing parts.

Do you want to know another thing to get right now while shopping? School supplies!

Mica lost his folder already from school. He lost it at school or at home, but it's lost. I found a Lego folder for so cheap! I also picked up 2 Scullcandy backpacks for $13 each! They were originally $50! They are very good quality. My idea is to pick up iron on characters to put on them. Then I can change out the iron on character as their interests change. Hopefully they will last for some time. I also got another thermos because Isaak will be in school next year. All on clearance!
