He has loved it!  He is up, bathed, dressed and ready by 8 a.m.  Today was the finally day, ending with a BBQ for the families.  It was well done!  He can&#8217;t wait for next year.<\/p>\n<p>I had to run to Zellers before going home.  It was time for a socks and underwear run for the boys.  I let each child pick a SMALL, CHEAP toy.  Zach picked out this $29.99 thingy.  <\/p>\n<p>NO&#8230; was my reply.  It&#8217;s just a small treat!   I gave him a few choices.  Then the little devil inside him spoke&#8230; I don&#8217;t even know WHAT he said&#8230; but it was HOW he said it.  <\/p>\n<p>Done&#8230; NO TOY!  You just lost the privilege to get a toy.  My only excuse for what followed is that he is overly tired.<\/p>\n<p>My 6 YEAR OLD son threw himself on the floor and WAILED LOUDLY while crying&#8230; &#8220;I want a toy!&#8221;  Thankfully he didn&#8217;t fight me as I took his hand to lead him to the cash.  The whole way down the isle&#8230;  wailing&#8230; &#8221; I want a toy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If I was watching someone else, it would have been funny.  It was just so classic.  My nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully Josh picked this moment to behave.  So all I had to focus was on child #5 while everyone stared.<\/p>\n<p>It was straight to bed&#8230; although I was informed 6 year olds don&#8217;t nap. &#8220;Well you weren&#8217;t acting like you were 6, now were you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All in a day&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach has been going to Vacation Bible School this weekend at Ferndale Bible Church.
