2:57 AM - Carly had a bad dream. She tried to crawl in bed with me but Isaac was already there. Instead she crawled up like a cat at the bottom of the bed for five minutes and decided that she was okay enough to go to her own bed. I think this is how this happened. I was so wiped out this morning.
6:05 AM - Boys were up playing quietly.
6:35 AM - I got breakfast ready for the boys.
6:45 AM - Isaac woke up super happy.
7:55 AM - I woke Carly up and she got breakfast.
8:15 AM - Everyone got dressed.
8:52 AM - We got in the car and I gave the kids a pep talk. I bribed them with treats and a movie, lasts night FHE that didn't happened, for good behavior and big helpers. We left for Target. I also performed a quick mental test on myself to see if I was crazy for not. I mean four kids to Target... Yep, crazy.
9:01 AM - We shopped at Target. We were quick. We got soda, a birthday present, Puffs for Isaac, and carpet cleaner. After I got all our things I walked the kids down the toy aisle. This was a conditional promise I made upon entering Target.
10:02 AM - Arrived at the mall. Yep still crazy. We had a minor melt down in the parking lot because Clark didn't want to be strapped into the stroller. As soon as the melt down started I told him we were packing up and going home. Carly and Parker didn't want to go home, so immediately they calmed Clark down. I was only half serious, but it worked. I'm the mean aunt. We walked around and went into a few stores. The kids ran around the play area and sat in some of the quarter rides. I got tired of walking so I declared and early lunch.
11:10 AM - Arrived at Noodles & Company. I love their Wisconsin Mac and Cheese. Lunch was good until Clark decided he was done eating and it was time to go. He was ready to leave that minutes. After a few nos, I got hit and we went outside for a talk and a two minute time out. Not sure how well this works consistently for a two year old, but he stopped crying and fussing.
12:12 PM - Home from our trips around town.
12:25 PM - I did some laundry, the boys had play time, Clark had some medicine, and Carly colored.

4:10 PM - Dinner. Everyone ate their food but Clark. Which was a problem because after dinner we were all getting our movie and treats. Clark wasn't going to get any since he didn't take one bite of food.
4:50: PM - We started our movie. Everyone had treats but Clark. He quickly figured this our. Cried for a bit, but eventually him and I settled on a bagel and grapes for dinner. It was the best I could get out of him.
5:50 PM - Baths for the boys.
6:05 PM - Left the house to take Carly to dance. The boys fought in the car while Isaac slept. Parker got in trouble for biting and pulling hair. I finished my hat.
