  • Good morning


    Its blue sky and sunshine outside the first in almost two weeks.  *cheers* and does a Happy dance.  I missed the sunshine.


    Samuel is coming down off his birthday, and thinks it is extremely cruel to be forced off the video game into the out of doors.  He had to do ten laps around our circle before his mood improved.  ONe of our more creative disciplines (borrowed from my mom)  is they have to run around our driveway as many times as they are old.  It used to be around the house, but our little circle driveway is much better at this house.   Its perfect for anger issues, its hard to stay angry when one is running.    Samuel got 2 extra laps for being even angrier that we thought he was angry.  *snicker*  Kids are lovely.


    He LOVES his gamecube.  He had no idea we would get him something that special.  Unfortunately I still haven't found the other game.  Its well hidden, or accidentally got thrown away.  *growls*

    This is him in his birthday clothes.  I'm still not sure how he got to be 8--its amazing considering how many stupid stunts he's attempted in his life.  LOL

  • He is adorable!

    So cute. My son loves his game time too. I have to keep an eye on him if it were his choice he would love to play all day.

    :0)

    Happy Bday!

  • LOL Ithought I was the only mom who made her kids run.. roflmbo... we used to make them run around the pool, since we dont have a pool anymore they run around the climber or if I am REALLY mad they run around the house. Way too funny! Hugs, Jo o/

  • yeah for sonshine! i'm glad he is enjoying his gamecube.

  • Wow! He's 8 already?!

  • our boys grumble when we shut off the games - we have new rules now - no games until reading and music practice are done - and only for 1-hr per day in the summer - we might have to cut them out entirely - oldest son 13 (with ADHD/ODD) is not handling coming down off his 'video game high' very well - he is extremely fidgety and restless whenever we shut off the games - he needs something else to do.

    i like your idear about doing laps around the driveway (1 for each year they are old) - i guess we can have then run around the cul de saac - that should be fun!
