Rest of the weekend.....

By Amity -
Mac has had a hard time lately listening and has been doing some mischievous things. It started when John went on his latest adventure so I don't know if it's related to that or just a phase. I thought allowing him to burn off some energy by doing some great stuff this weekend would help, but it didn't seem to make a big difference.

Yesterday after miniature golf (Mac got 3 holes in one, pretty impressive), we chatted and I decided we won't do anymore fun stuff until he shaped up, that all this great stuff we were doing is stuff that is earned. Last night as I was putting him to bed we were saying his prayers, he asked God to help him be a better boy, which was cute.

Today he did fairly well throughout the day and I told him often how well he was doing, then this evening he began not listening and it went downhill from there, so no fun stuff tomorrow. Hopefully this will do the trick, he seems to respond well to earning privileges and positive feedback. If anyone else has suggestions or advice let me know!

No advice for you, but we are having the same issues here. For me, restricting his fun is restricting the girls and my fun too, so it's a tough one. Let me know how it goes.

Maybe this will work... Tell Mac if he can do well for 1 week, Pappy will reward him with a surprize gift from Indian Echo. There is something I would like to send for him and Emily, but only if I get good blog reports from Mom and Mom approves of my idea.

Hanging with Aunt Christina

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

Movie with the kids

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
