We had a fairly productive weekend getting things done at home. I am really looking forward to the weather warming up so that we can get outside more with the kids. They tend to get a little out of control being stuck in the house all the time, and with all the nasty germs going around I think twice about taking them to public play areas.
Of course the weekend started off on a "fun" note with Rylee coming over on Friday. Let me tell you this almost six year old little girl is developing an almost sixteen year old attitude. She of course takes out most of that attitude with Zach. Her new thing is trying to tell him what to do, which of course does not go over well with Zach and usually results in him doing things to purposely annoy her. This will almost always end with her throwing herself around crying because he will not leave her alone. At this point my answer is to shut off the tv and force them to either play with each other or sit alone in an empty room bored staring at each other. I really wish she would put more effort into playing with him, but she really would rather just sit on a couch staring at a wall, it is extremely sad for Zach because he doesn't understand why.
Saturday we went to my cousins wedding. Brienna must be working on some teeth because for the last few days she has been a crab. Saturday was certainly no exception. She had little tolerance for sitting through the ceremony, and then waiting for dinner to be served. The older ones had fun dancing for a little bit, and it was of course great to see the extended family.
I know it is sad to say, but by Sunday nights on the weekends we have all the kids I really look forward to going back to normal life. Things are so much more strained when Rylee is here because of her attitude lately. I know that Gary feels it too, I just wish it did not have to be like this but for the time being it is just something we have to endure.
