A quick and requested update...

So at the moment I have 1 follower...woot woot! My sister Irma (my follower on blog and in life:) wanted un update about my "Lesson learned" post, where Noah opened up a big easter egg that I couldn't afford at Target and I just put it back on the shelf.

  Well, the morning after, Elly had Kindy and I promised her that we would get an ice-cream from Mcdonalds after. I also decided that we would head out that afternoon to make my wrong a right and teach my children this important lesson. So I picked up Elly from kindy and of course the first thing she  remembered was the ice-cream I promised her. I told her that I hadn't forgotten about the ice- cream, but first mummy needed to do something important. She looked at me wondering what could possibly be more important than her ice-cream?! I reminded her about the incident with the Easter egg, told her about what I did and what I should have done, how I felt and what a I needed to do to feel better. The whole time she looked, listened, and soaked in all my words of wisdom... so I thought.
As I concluded, I asked her "ok, are we ready to go to Target and help mummy make things right?" To which she responded "huh? Target! I want my ice-cream!" Hmmmm.... not the reaction I was after. Glad to see you didn't loose any sleep or felt bad about the whole incident El.

So we got the ice-cream and the egg all while I repeated my earlier message. This time she really was listening and the message got across ( I know so because I made her repeat it to me:). So to put it all in a nutshell... I redeemed myself, Elly got her ice-cream (and knows what the word repentance means),  and Noah couldn't believe his luck when I handed him the easter egg he had been craving the whole time! :)
