Job 1...done!

SO, Tucker had his first job yesterday and he was a champ! There was a LOT of waiting involved and I did have to bring Tanner and Brennen along. There were 3 other kids there so they kept pretty busy playing. All in all, it was a fun time. They took SO many pictures, I'm not sure WHAT will end up on the cover. It could be Tucker, or Tucker and Zoe or Zach and Anna or all 4 of them. We shall see! Tanner was a bit of a stinker though. I think there was some jealousy over the fact that it wasn't HIS job. Or, maybe I'm reading too much into it. Maybe he was just being a stinker for stinkers sake! I had promised Tucker I'd get him the much wanted video game yesterday if he did a good job. So, as promised, I pulled into the Target parking lot at 8:30 and picked up a copy of Harry Potter 5 for our new Wii. He was SO grateful it was just adorable. He hugged that game to his chest and said, "MOM! Thank you SO MUCH!" I told him that I was proud of him and he did an awesome job and he said, "But Mom, I know you're tired and you could've said 'No, I'm not getting that today' but you didn't! You got this game and you did it JUST FOR ME!" I assured him that he is totally worth doing things for. It was just priceless. I think he was pretty proud of himself. Too cute!
