Small Feats

I took all six kids to JC Penney's in Reno today. I thought it could go o.k. because I told everyone they would get a new Easter shirt if they all behaved. I felt like a nut case. Who takes six kids to the mall on a Saturday right before a holiday on their own? Everyone wanted their shirt first and then they all had to go to the bathroom right when I wanted to pick out a new shirt for me.

All in all it was a fun day and after the trip to Chuck E. Cheese with Grandma and Grandpa Nuckolls and Aunt Melissa the In and Out burger and the Target Icee they were all very appreciative.

I felt bad this year because we haven't had the time to color eggs or made sugar cookies or do our own egg hunts. Those aren't the reason for Easter to be sure, but they are activities that have become family traditions. But maybe today we started a new tradtion, pig out in Reno and buy new shirts on sale! I'm tired now and next year Jesse and join us.
