Whew....it's been a while. Sorry, Dee and I made probably one of the biggest mistakes of our lives and took the kids on 2 vacations in a row. Yeah, 2 vacations in 2 weeks. Can you believe it?
Weekend 1 we went to Fish Lake with my family for a little family reunion. For a change, Regan actually behaved. Well, I don't know if I can say that she behaved....but, she didn't hurt anyone or herself! Well, she did take down the camp-trailer's canopy by swinging on the poles. But, that was about it! Oh, and Dee did hit me with the trailer while she was trying to park it. But, don't worry, it was my fault. Well, that's what she keeps telling me. I guess I was "standing in her way". I didn't get hurt (just my pride)no harm no foul!
Weekend 2 we took off to Bear Lake. It was amazing! We played in the water with the kayaks I borrowed from my brother. The kids loved them, Dee did too. Now, I did overturn the kayak and sent Regan plummeting into the water. But, I caught her and all ended well.
As soon as we got home, all hell broke loose. I guess I can't blame the kids...they behaved for almost 2 whole weeks! It seemed like as soon as we pulled into the drive-way Regan and Molly began fighting. At first, we just ignored it. We let the kids just "work things out themselves". But, when Molly knocked on the door crying....I answered it. She had a small red mark under her lip. That didn't really concern me. What concerned me was that Regan did it with a screwdriver. I believe that is called "assault with a deadly weapon". Now, before you freak out, she didn't break the skin. She did get punished and yes, we took, the screwdriver away. I thought we had already kept the sharp objects from her??? It seemed the first 24 hours at home was spent punishing Regan for being so mean! Ahh, she kept it bottled up for a while. I had to remember that.
