I am glad that your wife stepped in and made sure the right things happened. Glad the baseball game outing was a success. Relocating to worse seats to a non-parent may seem foolish, but clearly it was the smart decision.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707637686072596055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873182308469051103.post-61140060788068265222012-07-13T13:29:30.625-04:002012-07-13T13:29:30.625-04:00I'm with Flannery - the wife is right.

And I'm jealous. The last time we went to a Royals game we had some kick-arse seats and we wound up out the kid zone fondling a giant rotating baseball. ALL NIGHT. The kids had fun so I went with it.

My son and I are no people, we always say no to a new idea, then we think about it and we usually can say yes with a little time. It's getting those spontaneous people to plan ahead a little that is hard. <br />Pushing the envelope isn't always easy, but it can be fun. I'm glad to hear you had a great time and that you found Lily's happy place.

Certain plans have to be made for Cinderella or adjusted around her and Manfriend's parenting schedule and I sometimes find myself crabby about it, even though I realize that it isn't anybody's fault. So hard to get out of a pouting funk once you're in it. I'm glad it all worked out. Your girls are sure cute. <br />I liked Brave for the mother/daughter storyline. When I was a teen, I was rather nasty to my mom and even ripped a favorite quilt of her's that her aunt had made because we had a disagreement. The story sort of hit home for that reason. I also appreciated the lack of the usual prince saving the princess or being her key to happiness plot line. I think Disney was probably trying to make a female lead who wouldn't get trashed by all the mothers out there. The lack of evil stepmother was appreciated also.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299720444779731060noreply@blogger.com
