Ya, you want mommy to hold you all of the time.

That is not crabby Isabella, that is smart.

Well I want attention too.

You are going about it all wrong.

How to treat babies right.

And then you might get to hold a real baby.

That's too much work.

You go first Gabers.

I made it down safe after mom climbed up and got me.

Wow, check that out.

Okay, I am ready to go home!

I WANT TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW, I AM TIRED!
 photo null_zps3cbb1f66.jpg
Chill Sis before you do something you regret!
 photo null_zps049da383.jpg
I'm sorry I threw your pacifier out of the stroller Sis.
 photo null_zpse97bfb0b.jpg
How was I to know mom wouldn't see it and it would be lost forever?
 photo null_zpsd9d836c4.jpg
I miss my giraffe!
 photo null_zps5e1dff7d.jpg
Lucky I am loved and I was given this giraffe.
 photo null_zps22ba4009.jpg
It is not MY giraffe but it will do.
 photo null_zps7a77199c.jpg
I said I am sorry!
 photo null_zps4c16dc48.jpg
Isabella, Phia knows you are sorry.
 photo null_zps03263694.jpg
Then why did she bring it up?
 photo null_zps06115f3b.jpg
I think she brought it up because when you get tired sometimes you get crazy.
 photo null_zps6599f239.jpg
I am crazy.
 photo null_zps298ca180.jpg
Yes, yes you are.
 photo null_zpsac44b8ce.jpg
And you love me that way.
 photo null_zps1a731e48.jpg
Sometimes Sis.
 photo null_zps347efd90.jpg
Let's be crazy together Gabers.
 photo null_zps893a09e0.jpg
I mustache, what do you have in mind Sis?
 photo null_zps9e653ac8.jpg
OMG, that is great Gabers!
 photo null_zpsd55ea0a1.jpg
I know.

Mom's notes - Sometimes the best plans do not pan out. Today was Kids Day and I personally was looking forward to it.  I planned on going early before the crowd go too thick so that Gabriel would not stress with a large crowd.  Well we went early and there was already a HUGE crowd. Gabriel's only plan was to run around showing off in front of all of the people. Isabella was tired after a Great long weekend with Rain so she quickly became very crabby. Poor Phia was along for the ride. In the middle of our craziness Phia's giraffe disappeared. Phia is touchier than normal due to her having thrush and the poos. Thrush causes sores in the mouth so it hurts quite a bit. The town is crazy due to the festival. I ran out to the stores downtown in search of another giraffe. The two stores that carry the pacifiers with animals were sold out of the giraffe pacifier. DANG IT. Lucky a friend managed to find a pink Giraffe as a replacement. Needless to say we did not stay at Kids Day very long. It was not worth everyone in the family being stressed. We came home where Gabriel can run and Isabella could rest instead. We ended up spending most of the day outside playing on our personal playground. Some days are Don't days.
