What was to be a fun-filled afternoon...

Yesterday, April had to take Griffin to the doctor for an ear ache. She knew that by leaving work on a Thursday, her busiest day of the week, that she would have to stay late to make sure everything got done on time. Well her husband, Josh, works nights so she didn't know what she was going to do with all three of her kids while she caught up on work after hours. Well Sister Allison to the rescue! I offered to keep all three so she could do her work without distractions. April left the office at around 2:45pm to take Griffin to his 3:15pm appointment at the doctor. Reece stayed with me. From the time April left, Reece progressively disliked my presence more and more. I tried entertaining her, feeding her, rocking her to sleep, but it did no good. I finally figured out that she just wanted her Mom. Well April and Griffin finally get out of the doctor around 5:00pm and they swing over to pick up Peyton from daycare. They all get to the office were myself, Reece and now Brad were waiting to take them to my house to play Wii. Reece was having NONE of me, so she stayed with her mom. I took Griffin in my car and we headed to Walgreens to drop off his prescription. The entire time we were in the car, he talked about how he was going to play on the Wii. Well, Peyton rode with Brad and their job was to pick up Bella before they came home. Griffin and I make it home and the moment we walk in the door he says, "Ok let's play Wii." I kept trying to put him off until Peyton got there because I knew it would turn in to a fight if they didn't get to play together. So Griff helped me check the mail, water the flowers, feed the dog, etc. Finally, I get a call from Brad saying he, Peyton and Bella are going to be a while because......HE REAR-ENDED SOMEONE!!! He said that everyone was fine and that they would be home in a little while, but I had to go see for myself. So off we go back up the highway to Walgreens (where Brad had the wreck.) Like he said, everyone was fine. I decided that it would be much easier to just take everyone to April's house since we were right by it and I did not want to have to drive allll the way back home. So I loaded everyone up and they realize that we aren't going back to my house....where the Wii is. I tried to explain to them the logistics of just going to their house, but it didn't work. They cried and cried. I then tried to tell them that they could come over this weekend to play our Wii, but they weren't hearing that. They gave me the silent treatment! Neither one of them would talk to me the entire ride to their house. I was in the dog house! So when we got to April's, I did what any good aunt would do.....I bribed them with popsicles! So now we are on better terms. But so much for our fun afternoon.
