A Not So Fun Carnival...

Raegan doing her clogging dance at Alpine Elementary School

Tonight Raegan had to dance at the Alpine Elementary School Carnival. So we decided since it's family night lets all go and watch her and then enjoy the carnival at the same time, sounds perfect right....WRONG!!!! As we were waiting for Raegan to finish dancing, Kalli took Sydney and Andrew to get a balloon animal. Well they waiting for quite along time and finally they got their animals. Sydney got a blue dog. Shortly after she got her dog it dropped on the ground and popped and scared her to death. Well she was extremely upset by this, so my wonderful mother decided to go and get her a new balloon dog. So when my mom gave Sydney the green dog she had made for her Sydney decided to cry, scream and have a major temper tantrum. She wanted a blue dog. Oh I was mad. I have very little patience when my children are ungrateful and rude. So I told Sydney to be happy about the green dog and thank grandma, well that was not happening, she continued to throw a major tantrum. So I took her hand and we walked back to the car and I told her she was done with the carnival and we would wait in the car for the others. Oh was she mad! So Sydney, Max and I went and sat in the car for one hour while the other children had a very nice time at the carnival with their dad. Well back in the car I couldn't help but take notes on what my lovely, hot headed five year old had to say...

"I am going to stay in this car untill my birthday,

I don't love anyone in our family not even Cinders (that is our dog)

I am never going to wear my seatbelt,

I am never going to church or school.

I am going to pop everyone's balloon-except mine,

I am going to break all of the windows in our car and climb out and go find STRANGERS.

If I have a bad day at school I'm no even gonna tell you about it,

I don't even like Tuesdays or Wednesdays or Thursdays!

I only like Cinders (the dog) and Rae Rae (Raegan) I don't like anyone else in our family. Oh and I like Kalli too.

I am going to AZ to live with Abby!

Next time I go to California Disney I am not even going to wear my seatbelt!"
Sydney being so TICKED off at me, waiting in the car for the rest of kids


Isn't she fun? Well I told her I loved her and that just made her more mad. Oh well, I just tried to ignore her and read the talk by Elder Ballard in the Ensign on how I'm a great mom. Someday she'll think that way too.
