today was a better day

Today The Mayor was only in time out twice and only got 2 spankings. And that is about a 150% improvement on the past couple of days.

We have a busy holiday weekend ahead of us so I am hoping we continue on this upward path of improved behavior.

The Mayor, Love Bug and I had a great day of playing with each other this morning. Everyone was in a great mood and The Mayor and Love Bug shared all of their toys with each other. The Mayor didn't have to be asked either...he just kept going up to his sister and handing her toys. He can really be so sweet when he wants to be.

Tomorrow morning D will be training with a lake swim and a bike ride with his buddies and then I have a tennis match. We may hit a local farmer's market and then we need the kids to take great naps because we have a birthday party in the afternoon, followed by dinner with friends and then fireworks at our friends house in the hood, assuming the kids can stay up until 9:30.

Looking forward to our only free weekend of the month and so happy it is a long one!
