back-to-school shopping

After attending our favorite twins' 3rd birthday party, we joined the Gallmans for supper and shopping. I'm happy to report that Dennis scored a great new rain jacket, so now he's pretty much gotten everything he needs. We even got a light-up bat signal, but it's actually mine and not his. He told me he hated me earlier today when I didn't buy him a Spiderman, so I told him I wasn't buying him any more toys until he learned to appreciate what's really important. And then we found a bat signal much, much later in the evening. I played with it in the car all the way home (to his torture), and I finally let him hold it when we were almost home. Oh, the agony of waiting! And not owning it himself!
