Thursday Thirteen: 13 Photos from Wednesday

After you are finished visit the other thirteeners here!

I do not like to leave my house. Really. I'd stay home all day every day if I could. I don't think I was always like this, but I sure am now. If I can find a reason to put something off until another day I will. Well, eye appointments are not something we can skip. So my Wednesday was interrupted...

1) Olivia and Lucas playing Legos at the eye doctors office...
2) The first machine Olivia had to go to....after waiting about 45 minutes...

3) This is the dreaded prize box. Last visit Lucas (being 2) quickly picked an item. Then he saw the cars. He is OBSESSED with cars. That lady wouldn't let him take one. A 10 cent trinket...she says, "no, only one per patient". (She must not have children). Holy Hell! Lucas went into the biggest two-year old tantrum. He did not understand why he couldn't have a piece-of-crap plastic car. I do not want to hear all the "teach your child boundaries" "he can't have what he wants" "blah, blah, blah" BS. He is TWO! He didn't get it, and he screamed. And I wrestled with him. It was a horrible 15-20 minutes for EVERYONE in the waiting room. Why? To teach him a lesson? He's two for Pete's sake! So today, just as soon as Olivia went to pick a "prize for being good", I snatched a car and give it to Lucas. Would you believe that woman started to tell me they are for the patients only. I walked off. At that point it had been an hour with toddlers in an eye clinic. Enough said.

4) Here's Olivia sitting in the chair like she's going to be a big girl. NOT! First of all, I have to sit in the chair and hold her. That isn't even the point. Today, she completely decided to not cooperate. (I think it was the long wait). She covered her eyes, refused to let the doctor look at her, and she wouldn't look at the charts. I am sure I will be billed several hundred dollars for that and I was sent home not feeling any better about her "bad" eye. (I had to ask him for a patch because progress wasn't being made!).

5) Lucas wanted to sit in the big chair, too.....

6) View from the chair....Veggie Tales. I do not like talking vegetables!

7) Olivia has the camera now!

8) After 1 1/2 hours at the eye doctor (about 10 actually with the doctor) we met dad at Sam's Sourdough Cafe for lunch.

9) Typical two-year old tantrum. The last time we went to lunch it was just like this and I told Mr. White I wasn't ever going to a restaurant with Wee Two again. Apparently, I forgot. Mr. White was kind enough to point out that I forgot...."I thought you weren't going to go out to eat with Lucas again". Ya, that helped.

10) A perfect angel as always.

11) Club Sandwiches and some reindeer sausage. (I love it...and had to have it even if it is expensive!)

12) There they are in the doggie pen...cold and wanting to come back in the house!

13) Daisy and Billy joined by one of the hens for evening feeding.
