I guess we can rule out demons.....

Thursday was the kids' last day of school, and as everyone knows, the boys are grounded. (nothing new here) So Friday morning as I was leaving for work, I told the boys, 'Alright, while I'm gone, I want yall to write me a letter explaining to me why you think you should be ungrounded. You need to convince me to unground you. I'm not going to tell you how long it needs to be, or how many sentences. Just however long you think you need to convince me. If I don't think it's good enough, we'll start over tomorrow.' Now I have to be honest. I was not expecting any Pulitzer prize material. I figured it would keep them occupied for awhile, and give them something to do. Umm, Yeah, I was wrong.




Here's Gavin's letter:



'I'm sorry that I took to long folding clothes. And I'm sorry that I took 4 days to clean our room. I have been bad these days. I was acting up in the store. I was playing outside when we had to go throw the diaper in the outside trash. So I decided to try to be good everywhere. I will do everything you tell me. Love, Gavin'



And Cole's:



'Dear Daddy, I'm sorry for being bad. I'll try not to be bad. I'm sorry for acting up in the store and all those days I did act up. Like I said I'll try my hardest to be good. I ♥ you. All I'm trying to say is I'm sorry. If I could I would give you a billion dollars to show you how sorry I am. Love, Your Son, Cole.'



Needless to say, the boys aren't grounded anymore. I mean how do I ground these kids?









And on another note, we found Jaxon's new favorite TV show..........Wipeout! He thinks it's the funniest thing ever. But he only likes the parts when people are getting hit with things and being knocked into the water. Anytime they'd go to commercial, he'd take my hand, put it on the remote and say, 'Button.....Button daddy.' So I'd fast forward it. Then he started doing it during the show when they were talking and stuff, 'Button.....Button daddy.....Button!....Button!!!!' So I finally had to just rewind it to the parts where people were falling into the water. He didn't care if he'd seen the exact same thing 11 seconds earlier. Every time someone fell, he'd say, 'Heee Haaaa! Fall in water! Fall in water, daddy.' Looks like we'll be TiVoing Wipeout from now on.....Good times.
