You Just Never Know What They Will Do Next!

Hello Faithful Blog Readers (all 2 or 3 of you!) :) We had another action-packed weekend at the Hendricks’ House. Last week, Kason had some behavior issues at his YMCA Afterschool program. He got in trouble 4 out of 5 days last week. 3 of the days were for mocking, rolling eyes and talking back to the counselors. And one day was for saying “ass”. We have talked to the counselors and to Kason. We have come to the conclusion that Kason is being influenced by older kids at the program. They have kids ages K thru 5th grade in the same area. The older kids are setting bad examples, and I think Kason is trying to do what they do. And as for the “ass” day, apparently one of the older kids told Kason to say it. This, of course, does not excuse Kason’s behavior but at least gives us a little insight as to Why. So we had the whole “if-someone-tells-you-to-jump-off-a-bridge” talk with him. Throughout the course of last week, we have grounded him from video games, TV and his football, as well as a spanking on “ass” day. Ug! Its times like these when I wish I could send him to Private school and shelter him from the world!!!!
Anyway, moving on to update you with all of our weekend activities. I went to a “Girls Night In” at my friend Laura’s house on Friday night. We had so much fun!!! A little too much, actually. Before I knew it (and quite by accident) I had drunk a whole bottle of wine by myself!! Wow!! So, needless to say, I paid for all the fun I had at Laura’s! My kids don’t sleep in just because I need to. So I was up bright and early on Saturday morning after about 4 hours of sleep. Here is a pic of all of us at Laura’s. What a motley crew we are! :)

On Saturday, Crystal , Chad , JJ and Koby came over to go to Celina’s Fun Day on the Square with us. The kids were so happy to see each other! Jaycee brought Katie a little pink Hello Kitty purse filled with plastic jewelry. Katie LOVES it!!!! She carried that purse and wore the jewelry the rest of the weekend. She kept telling me that she was going to the “Palace”.

The kids had fun at Fun Day, eating snow cones, going on carnival and hay rides and getting their faces painted. It was great to see the Brown family, we always have lots of fun with them.

Sunday was a good day. We went to Sunday School and church then home for a nap. I got a much-needed 2 hour nap! Plus, the Cowboys won. Told ya it was a good day! :) Kason and I went back up to the church on Sunday evening for an adult’s bible study and kids program. While we were there, it began storming outside. We got drenched getting in the car but made it home. Our electricity went out a little bit before 10pm Sunday night and didn’t come on until about 4:30am Monday morning. Plus, Celina got 5 inches of rain!! Streets were flooding. The rain just kept coming down. And the lighting and thunder were so close! Katie slept through it all, but Kason could not get settled down. He was one sleepy boy this morning!

Oh, I almost forgot one other thing that happened Sunday afternoon. The kids were outside after we had all napped. They had been getting on each other’s nerves pretty much all day. Kason wants to be all over Katie all the time and she, of course, screams everytime he comes within 5 feet of her. They just play off each other. So Kason went outside and Katie wanted to go too. So we let them go outside. They couldn’t have been out there more than 5 minutes, when GD goes out to check on them. He finds Kason chasing Katie with his pants down, trying to pee on her. Thankfully, he wasn’t able to run very fast with his pants down and she was able to run away from him and avoid getting peed on. Really!!???!? GD and I were both livid. Kason got spankings again and sent to his room. In hind sight, I think he was just trying to bug her as they had been bugging each other all day. We explained to Kason how 1.) it is very un-hygenic (is that a word??) to pee on someone and 2.) he doesn’t need to show his privates to anyone, even his sister. Craziness!!! So I just wonder if this is something I will eventually look back on and laugh or if it indicates a more serious behavior problem? These kids!!!! You just never know what they are going to do next!!!!!!!! (Now you know why I drank that whole bottle of wine on Friday night!! :)

Anyway, hope you all have a great week and don’t let anyone pee on you! :)
