Oh my goodness! What a week! It stared out good, but today in particular has been a rough day. The weather has been so lovely the past few days that my kids & I have gone to the park every day. Fridays we usually have a play date with one of my good friends & her daughter, but for some reason, my son has major attitude when he & this little girl get together.
We went to the same park Wednesday & Thursday. Brought the same buckets & shovels to play in the sand. Both days I had to remind him to share & be nice to any other children that were there. Usually that is all it takes, but today...we barely show up & he sees the little girl & is already holding back the toys like he is not going to share. So I took the toys put them in the sandbox & reminded him to play nice. He does okay for about 5 minutes. I even saw him hand another little girl our little rake & so I told him, "Great job for sharing!" Next, he sets down one of the shovels & little buckets by me, picks up some toy car he found & goes to play in the sandbox. Well, my friend's little girl comes to use the bucket & shovel that no one was playing with & he went after her screaming & grabbing at the toys.
What an embarrassing moment! I gathered up the toys, apologized to my friend & took my son & daughter home because I couldn't calm him down! Wowza! Hopefully the natural consequence of not getting to stay at the park will teach him the lesson of sharing & not screaming at or being agressive with others. We had our talk after he calmed down (40 minutes) after we got home. I love my son, but I hope if he's this hard as a kid, he'll be an easy teenager. But with my luck & the way things are going, I am going to be in big trouble! Haha.
Anyway, let's get to the fun stuff! Last week we had 38 links to the party! Hooray! I am so excited to see what everyone has to share this week! I have decided to pin the featured links to at least one of my pinterest boards. I contribute to some community boards that help bring more traffic as well, so it will most likely be one of those to help you all out the most. I will go back & pin the winners from the last couple weeks as well. Hopefully that extra incentive of more traffic gives you another reason to link up!

Rainbow Cookies from Pint Sized Baker
