Waiting for the Perfect Moment


...to open her presents. Who doesn't open their presents right away????

Due to a blowout tantrum after her birthday party, Shelagh was not allowed to open her presents when we got home before bedtime. Huge bummer. After school the next night I asked her if she wanted to open them to which she replied "I will open them on Thursday". Yes, she will wait until Thursday, her favorite day. Doesn't matter that we're home today, Tuesday, that it's raining outside and that we have nothing else to do. She painted in front of the presents, ate breakfast and lunch in front of them and still has no interest b/c it's not Thursday. Thursday is Macaroni & Cheese night so it has been declared the best day of the week and all good things have to happen on Thursday. The fact that her birthday actually fell on a Thursday was heaven.
Here are the kids before the party snuggling:
