Best Part of the Day - We did have a full afternoon in the nice weather. To the doctor, to the Nature Museum and to the playground. Whew - we were all tired by the time we got home - but so nice to have some outdoor activity after all the rain.

Worst Part of the Day - Had Wes' two year Well Visit today. That STUPID (yes, stupid) waiting room is the WORST. No toys, the fish were 'sick' and the kiddos can reach the door. So my children were RUNNING (I do mean running) around the halls as I tired over and over to corral them. I was overheated by the end. Gross. Not to mention that I was 10 minutes early and then waited an extra 15 minutes after my appointment time (so this was 25 full minutes of the crazies running, jumping off furniture, slamming the door .... I tried to stop it until my appointment time and then kind of gave up. I'm going to be late from now on.)

Side Note - Also had Quinn's preschool conference today - and it cracked me up. He is THREE. But my theory is that they set these conferences up in case there is a real problem kiddo - then the parent does not feel as confronted and is less likely to be defensive. It's all I can figure as we talked about how Quinn was perfectly fine is for five minutes and then talked about her son's wisdom teeth removal for five minutes and then talked about another kid in the classroom who's mom keeps sending him in underwear and keeps having accidents (this is where my theory comes from).
