Tonight was a good evening. The kids asked us if they could go to Once Upon a Child for some secondhand toys. We agreed but went with dread. Shopping with the kids is a nightmare. We experienced that in full force on Sunday trying to get Amanda a Mother’s Day gift. But we went anyway. It went just fine. The kids found some good toys in a relatively short time with no fighting either with us or with each other. Amanda and I walked out of the store looking at each other, wondering what had just happened.
Then it was time for Amanda and I to go out. Justus said we didn’t have to go out. I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. Amanda explained that it was in his best interest that we go out. We went for a quick supper and then watched Amazing Spider-Man 2. I will tell you what I thought of the movie tomorrow. I will say that this was Amanda’s second time seeing it, not just because she liked the movie but because she loves me. I have a pretty special woman. All in all, it has been a good day.
