Easter

We had a great Easter. Ben took this adorable picture of the kids before church. I love it. Notice McKinna's new hairdo. She has wanted to cut her hair short for awhile. I was tired of fighting her on it. I actually love it. She was very concerned that no one would recognize her. She is so funny!

McKinna conquers her fear!

McKinna has wanted to ride her bike without training wheels for over a year. She begged us to take them off, and we warned her...once they are off they stay off. Of course, once we took them off she begged us to put them back on. We wouldn't because she was fully capable of riding her bike, but she was just too scared.

Well, her little neighbor buddy came out and started riding her bike around. McKinna walked over picked up her bike and started trying, all by herself. Evertime she started to get frustrated a neighbor would come out and cheer her on. She would get her determination back and start again. She even took a couple of spills, and has some scraped up knees, but she comes home from school everyday and rides away. We are so proud of her. We knew she could do it! Way to go McKinna!

Now Bodin wants his traing wheels off!

Boys.....Ugh!

So Bodin and his cousin Landon have been together a lot lately. They were together all day Friday and then Landon came and stayed the night Friday night. Brie took them home and they played most of the day Saturday. They are inseparable.

I get a phone call late Saturday night from Brie. She tells me that she discovered Landon peed in his trash can. Landon then admits that they peed in Bodin's too. It can't be true. I call Bodin up and ask him. I can tell immediately, because he does not want to answer. He won't lie. He admits to peeing in his trash can with Landon and peeing together in Landon's trash can the day before. What is wrong with boys?

I am having a hard time talking to him because I can't keep a straight face. This is quite hysterical. I send him to his room. What should his punishment be? Should I take his new dollar? Would that teach him a lesson? I got it...




He now knows how to clean the toilets. If I have to clean your pee, you will do the same! I hope he has learned his lesson:). The punishment fits the crime.
