Not even embarrased.

Today I took the kids to Wal-Mart. Deven is painting our bedroom so we went to get the paint. We walked through the toys on the way to the paint department. Gwendolyn found a Dora couch/bed thing that she loved. I waited patiently while she sat on the couch in the middle of the isle. After a while I told her we needed to go get the paint. Of course she flipped out. I put her in the cart, she proceeded to kick and scream and try to climb out head first. After living through the king of fits (Mitchell) I hardly even notice any more much less be embarrassed about it. She continued to carry on while we made our way to the paint. At that point I had to get her out of the cart so I could get the old can of paint. I let her down and she proceeded to throw herself on the floor and scream. I thought it was actually pretty cute. Any time other shoppers would come down her isle she would stop screaming and move out of the way. The paint man handed me my gallons and then pulled out his wallet and said "Miss I won 300.00 dollars last night, I would like to give you 20.00 to buy her what ever she wants to make her stop."

Aaron and I are currently rolling! Hilarious! That is the funniest thing I have ever heard...so did he really give you 20 bucks?

He really really tried to give me the money and I really wanted to take it but I didnt. I told him she was just spoiled and buying her something wouldnt help. I should have taken the money and bought 20.00 worth of Easter candy. Also you and Aaron need to vote. The doctor says I probably have 8 weeks left. We have 0 names. We need input. This baby could be like Blake and not have a name for awhile. This has nothing to do with the post but I left a comment on Devs sisters blog and the word verification was backlick.

That is the funniest story. I guess we hear our kids throw fits so much we get desensitized to their screams. She is such a cute girl and sound like she knows how to work the system.
