Best Part of the Day - Had a fun filled morning out. Erik and I took the kiddos to the gym childcare at 10:30 a.m. and worked out. Then off to (GASP!) get Quinn's haircut. It is so so SO much better and totally adorable and still very curly (but non frizzy and in control). He looks super, super cute. Then home for lunch and naps. Then off to the mall to meet Ann, Chris and their boyz as they were going to get photos with Santa (not our little ones, they are anti-Santa this year.)

Worst Part of the Day - Santa was taking a break when we arrived at the mall (about 5 p.m.) So we had to entertain our two at the mall - Quinn was pretty good, but Wes? Ugh - no wonder we never go to the mall together. Wes and I ended up riding the escalators up and down for about 25 minutes. Then it's 7 p.m. and we head to dinner. Wes is about having a fit. And in the car Erik and I both agree that we can't really wait for a table. We get in and there is a 10 minute wait. And so Erik says "we can't wait for that." And I'm now thinking "hell - we're here and I have the DVD playa' and it will take longer to get home and then feed them ..." So then Erik says "well Molly you can decide." So I decide to stay. Then Erik is saying "WELL I thought YOU had said you didn't want to stay and so I am just surprised that you would say that." I say "no WE said we didn't want to wait - but then I changed my mind." The dinner went .... really well. Quinn was about perfect. No DVD player for him - he just colored, talked with Erik and Uncle Chris and then ate an entire kid's pizza. Wes - once I got the DVD player on, he sat still and watched and ate half a grilled cheese and a piece of pizza. Now even before the kiddos behaved, I have to say that Erik was very pleasant at the table. So that was nice. Hoever, on the way out, I just couldn't resist one immature dig so I said "who thinks MOLLY made the right decision to stay?" I mean, if you give me the decision making power instead of making a joint decision - get ready for me to make a decision you just might not like.
