Frustration

Why does it seem to be that when you go and do something fun with your kids they seem to have an emotional breakdown either during the event or very soon thereafter? Today we took the boys out to breakfast, then to get thier hair cut and finally to the mall because I needed to get something. They were fine during the breakfast and hair cut but once we got to the mall, where they got to play on toys rather than be bored with mom while shopping, Andrew decided to have a complete meltdown. When we got home then Zane decided to meltdown. Currently they are both in bed, taking naps and I am attempting to defuse myself with a pop and some blog therapy. Who knows what makes those little minds tick? Not me for sure!
