Best Part of the Day-
Went to Scarlet's Winter Open House. They had a fundraiser spaghetti din from Maggiano's (delish) and then Scarlet's parent-teacher conference. She is a top-notch kiddo in the classroom and I enjoy her teachers immensely. Great to hear the positive comments.

Worst Part of the Day-
So this is Evening #2 of my kids being out "late" as Scarlet's conference was set for 6:45pm. At the end, Liam melted down, Scarlet wasn't being an excellent listener (she was being average, in her defense) and I had 3 boxes of take-out food, large scale art pieces, backpacks, a purse and a sobbing 3 year-old in my arms as I exited the school. My lord.
(Note: I am infinitely pleased that Liam is my second child, because truly I am unphased by his antics. They evoke no anger, confusion, dismay or embarassment like they may have with Scarlet--it is just that I do not have enough hands or time to effectively handle him in his terrible 3's state. Oh yes, that is why it is ideal to have another grown-up with ya...)
