7/22 'Joy Day'

Today I declared it "Do anything Joy wants to do day". 

All summer I have been trying to do fun things that the boys would enjoy and keep them active.  I decided they could spend the day doing what I wanted to do for a change.  Sounds fair right?  Surely my boys would be extra good...

So we head to Conway.  Why Conway you ask?  Well they have a TJMaxx Home store.  We do not have one in LR.  I was looking for lamps for our bedroom.  It is so dark even with the light on, I cannot read anything.  So off we go.

As it happens, Pier 1 is right beside TJMaxx.  So I thought, why not?  We are already here.  So into Pier 1 all four of us go.  I told the boys to be careful, everything is breakable, etc. (you know the lecture).  As I am walking around the store, I notice that the bells for the front door are going off. Excessively.  Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.  A horrible dread comes over me as I rush to the front of the store where I had left the boys sitting on patio furniture. 

Do you see this contraption here?


Outdoor Swingasan Chair
There is a stand that holds up this seat so that it becomes a swing.  Robbie was sitting in the swing and William was pushing him.  William and Robbie managed to flip this thing on top of Robbie who was trapped underneath. 
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
The sales lady was trying to help me pull the swing off of Robbie.  It was not light.  All the while the sales lady was looking at me like, "I knew these kids were trouble from the moment they walked in."

  The day did not get any better.  The boys did not act any better.  The entire trip would have been a bust if it weren't for the fact that I found two of these:
