K and B are switching rooms. B and #3 will share a room so they need the bigger room. In a perfect world we'd have another room so that no one shared, but I am less than perfect thus my imperfections trickle down.
B's room was purple, so it was painted blue today. J's mother is good at painting rooms so she was over and the two of them had mother/daughter bonding.
J made sure I was up at 11am. She wanted me to tape the places she couldn't reach. Unfortunately, mother-inlaw does better without the tape, but fortunately I had only tapes a 4th of the ceiling border, which she promptly pealed away upon arrival.
Around 12:30, J reminded me about a Lego event at Toys R Us. The kids were willing to go, so we went while they painted. The Joker Bot was free, but it's had to visit Toys R Us with K and B without them wanting to buy something. They got Halloween money from my folks, so I was mildly open to perusing.
They settled on a mini fig. $3.19 is steep in my book but it's their money. I told they they'd each owe me three bucks, yet they thanked me. They both gave me their money when we got home without a fuss.
I can safely say that never happened when I was a kid. I always had money, or my folks bought stuff with money they owed me. Not sure why but they always owed me money. They never paid me back with the cash they borrowed. I'd get a radio, a bat, or sled that they thought I should have.
Sorry, just thinking about my folks reminds me of why I have kids. I'm going to be a better parent out of spite. My kids are PRIORITY NUMBER ONE. Not sure where my brother and I were on my folks' priorities list, but I feel like I give my pet fish more attention.
