A 2 Code of Conducts Kind of Week

Jacob came home on Tuesday with his first "Code of Conduct", meaning he was acting inappropriately at school. He was dared, well not just dared, but "triple dog dared" to go into the girls bathroom. He appeared very sorry for this infraction and we talked about how you need to think about your actions and whether they are right or not, even if you are being triple dog dared. I thought it sunk in, until Thursday afternoon when he came home with his second code of conduct for throwing food in the lunchroom. Again, other kids were doing it. Arg.

Lucky for Jacob, Fred had a vein removal procedure on Thursday morning and so we were a little too exhausted to deal firmly with him. And Grandma and Grandpa Jeske were here, and they are bit soft when it comes to their grandkids.

Fred's leg is still very sore and looks tough. He can't lift more than 20 pounds, meaning he can't be left with Wyatt. Which means, I get very little alone time until that restriction is lifted. Do you think they'll change the restriction to 25 pounds if I call and beg? He has the other leg scheduled for February 9th, that'll make him restricted for 4 of 5 weeks. Oh boys.

On a fun note, the boys decided to treat me like a queen this evening. Covering me up with all blankets they could find. Propping my feet and head up with pillows. Bringing me water, Gavin announcing that his was "cotton candy flavored". We'll have to play that game more often, as it involved no wrestling amongst the boys.
