Sweet brother

By Amity -
Mac was really sweet to Emily tonight. She got in trouble right before dinner for misbehaving and lost her "treat" which she was going to get after dinner. Shortly after he heard me tell her no treat, he says to me "mom I will give up my treat tonight too since it wouldn't be very nice of me to eat a treat in front of Emily since she doesn't get one tonight".

Yesterday we had dinner with friends and were going to go get dessert after dinner but my friends kids misbehaved so they lost their dessert. When Mac asked for his I quietly told him that he could have dessert when we got home since it wouldn't be nice to eat dessert in front of his friends who couldn't have any, then I asked him how he would feel if he was the one in trouble and his friends were eating dessert in front of him.

He seemed to get what I was talking about last night, being that he gave up his treat tonight...I'm so glad he thinks about these things....he doesn't always pay attention to what I'm teaching him but it's nice to see when he does!

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!!!!!!

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.
