A Story of Hope: Fri. July 24

Tonight was a tough night.

We finally had good enough weather to bring the kids up to the campsite, and also enough time to enjoy ourselves, since I picked them up earlier in the afternoon. As soon as we got there, I sent them swimming, thinking it might be a good way to expend some energy!

I cooked campfire chili, which I thought was pretty good, but Hope wouldn't eat it at all. Finally, Morgan coerced her into taking two bites, but that was all she would do. Then we made smores. In this process, Brother #1 ended up taking a timeout in the car for not listening and making faces at me.

On the was home, Brother #1 picked on Brother #2 so much that I had to stop the car twice. When we got home, I told him I would have a talk with him and dad. I explained to dad what had happened, and Brother #1 and I discussed how I didn't have to bring him with me, but that I wanted to, but only if he behaved. He promised to behave next time. Dad didn't seem too bothered, but Morgan (who had asked to use their bathroom) said Mom was talking to him when she came out. We'll see what Monday brings.
