Having fun on Discover's dime

Keith has been covering for his boss at work for a couple of weeks while he was on vacation.  Keith, of course, did an amazing job and handled everything.  To say thank you his boss gave him $100 for Keith and I to spend, but he said we had to do something fun with it. I was so glad that he got recognized for his hard work.  We decided to go back to Lagoon, but this time to leave all of the kids home.
It was so much fun!  Ataiya came and watched all the kids yesterday while we spent the day riding rides.  We finally got to try Wicked and the Spider.  Wicked was pretty scary and Keith wasn't a fan.  He hates the free falling feeling.  He went on it twice for me, but that was plenty for him. 
We both loved the Spider.  We went on that over and over.  The lines were really short yesterday and the weather was great.  It was so fun to just do what we wanted and not accommodate anyone else.  By 7:00 PM we were so tired.  We are definitely not young anymore! It was so fun to have that time together.
Caitlyn helped Ataiya out a lot.  She is so good with the kids.  Hallee and Caitlyn have been having fun playing together after school. 
 Caitlyn had a hard time this week at school.  She tried so hard to have a good attitude, but it was so hard for her to not have any of her friends in her class.  She said she didn't have any one to sit with at lunch.  On Tuesday she asked someone to be her partner and they said no and I think that was the last straw.  She was crying after school and I felt so bad for her.  Keith, who is amazing, pulled Caitlyn in his arms and asked her what time she ate lunch.  He told her that he would be there the next day to eat lunch with her.  She felt so much better after that.  He went and ate lunch with her and all of the kids loved him and that helped Caitlyn a lot.  Now she is playing with the girls in her class and she seems to be happy with school.  No matter what mistakes I make as a mother I always take comfort in the fact that I picked a wonderful Father for my children!
Jonah has been loving school.  He is excited to come home every day and tell me that he got class money for behaving.  I sure hope that keeps up.  I'm so happy to see him so excited about school.
I think Wyatt is enjoying the quiet house.  He looked so handsome for church today.
Wyatt was thrilled that he got to play with Rockwell twice this week. 
Hallee and Tessa were cute playing in these chairs together.
