Our bold endeavor for the day was to go up to the mall and look for a media component cabinet. We took advantage of the Drop and Play at the mall, for those not from here, it is this awesome invention where you can drop the kids off at a play center while you shop kid free. Though I have only used it a few times to drop the kids off, I secretly love having the option always there. They don't take babies, so we kept Anders with us, no problem he slept. No luck finding a cabinet, downside to living in a small city, the stores are not full size, so the department stores don't sell furniture. Oh well, thankfully we have the internet. So as not to make the entire trip a bust, I got coffee and we went to the Mexican restaurant so Brian could enjoy a beer. They had just placed the beer down in front of him when his cell phone rang. My gut told me what it was, the Drop and Play telling us to pick up the kids. Based on Shane's behavior lately, I kind of knew what to expect. Shane was hitting kids so he had to leave. Great...Shane was kicked out of Drop and Play. Despite being humiliated, we had to figure out another punishment, since he is grounded from just about everything already, not sure what else to take away. Turns out he was so devastated to have to leave that I think it will have a lasting impact. He loves playing there, so he was pretty upset when we explained that he wasn't allowed to play there for the rest of the day. And not to defend his actions, but I do believe there are 2 sides to every story. On the way home, Shane asked why the kid who spit on him was not asked to leave. Shane said he hit the kid and didn't want him to play in the house with him after he spit on him. Can't argue that logic, though we explained that he should have used his words and not hit the kid.
Though Shane can be pretty rough with the puppies, he likes to wrestle with them, Brian captured a moment of pure sweetness.
