Guys, listen I'm going to say something funny

Wyatt said that the other day.  He is so particular about things.  He has to have everything just so and everyone has to listen to him when he talks.  We had fun squeezing in one last play date with Katie on Monday.  This McDonalds had the best play land I have ever seen.  Wyatt loved the basketball court.

I loved that they had a place for toddlers too.  Hallee had a great time.  After that Tiff and Audrey came over to play for a while.  It was a lot of fun.

On Tuesday my mom and my sisters came over.  Wyatt had fun playing with Rockwell and Hallee had fun showing off for everyone. Mom was nice and watched Hallee and Wyatt so I could go into the school on Wednesday.  Wyatt was so excited for his playdate with grandma. 

Hallee has started wearing Wyatt and Jonah's hats. 

While I was in the school on Wednesday I got to talk to Caitlyn's teacher about all of the girl drama going on with Caitlyn and her friends.  Poor Caitlyn is always stuck in the middle of her fighting friends.  They all get mad at her if she plays with anyone else.  Caitlyn wants everyone to be happy so she gets involved when she shouldn't sometimes.  Anyway, luckily her teacher is great and handles it well.  She told me that she agrees that Caitlyn is just stuck in the middle.  I hope she gets in a class with less dramatic girls next year.

Jonah's teacher told me that he has been misbehaving a little bit.  I told her we have had the same problem at home.  He has been very defiant lately and seems very angry.  Keith and I are kind of at a loss with what to do with him.  We feel like we are always on his case and I know he feels the same way.  While I was in the class one of the little boys told me that Jonah told him that I drank a lot of alcohol and died.  Things clicked with me after that comment.  I left his class a few minutes early and found Dr. Prasad (the school psychologist that helped Caitlyn so much with her anxiety).  I told him my concerns and he gave me some ideas to help Jonah and said he would try to talk to him.  Jonah won't talk to us very often, but I got him to open up that night.  He told me that he is scared I am going to die and he misses Jen and keeps hearing her name in school and that makes him sad.  That night he started crying and told me that he has nightmares every night.  They are either about me dying or kids making fun of him.  Poor kid!  I used to think Jonah was so confident, but I'm starting to learn that he is very insecure and really worries about people liking him.  Keith and I are trying to be more positive with him and I have reassured him that I'm not going to die.  Friday night Caitlyn was at a friend's house and Wyatt and Hallee were in bed so Keith and I stayed up and watched America's funniest home videos with Jonah.  He laughed so hard and seemed a lot happier than he has for a while.  It was great to have that time with him and hopefully things will keep getting better.

The kids made a swimming pool the other day and had fun diving into it! 

Hallee made a cute life guard.

These girls looked so cute watching Jonah play soccer.

Keith and I have been meeting up for breakfast this week.  Keith goes to work so early that he eats his lunch during breakfast time so we met up at Chick-fil-A because they were having buy one get one free breakfast all week.  It was great Hallee and Wyatt had the play place all to themselves and Keith and I could sit and talk.

Jonah had a great game on Thursday night.  He scored a goal and played so hard.  Saturday was a little more rough.  The team they played against towered over our boys.  They played hard though.

Last night we were all exhausted.  I worked for over four hours outside on Friday to weed, clean the garage and clean the van.  Keith came home and mowed and then worked in the yard most of Saturday while I did some shopping and other things that needed to get done.  We were all happy to stay home and have a movie night.  My favorite thing about movie nights is after the movie is finished all of the kids get up and dance to the song on the closing credit.  It is so cute to watch.
