Mom's fun day at the park

Today I dropped the big kids off to school.  Then I took the twins for a little walk through the park behind our new rental house.  They love the area because it is very "desert" and has lots of wildlife (maybe too much--snakes).  So, this morning was all about the twins having fun walking and running around the park and skatepark.  

When we were leaving I said I needed to run to Trader Joe's for some groceries.  On the way we passed a McDonalds.  Nathan asked to stop for ice cream.  I said no, we aren't getting any sweets for awhile.  His reply was "We did what you wanted to do this morning, now it is our turn to do something."  

I guess he thought we stopped at the park for my enjoyment.  If I would have known we were there solely for me, I would have left much sooner!    I really should think of my kids more often!!
