Me, Spencer, and Mataya went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch today. Spencer had a free kids meal there from the reading program at school. Well, that is one busy place...probably because it's dang good. So I watched this one mom get furious because a little boy in the play area kicked and hit her son. After it happened a couple of times the woman lost it and stormed over to the child's mom and proceeded to lecture and yell at her. The woman really didn't have a clue her son was being a turd she was too busy chatting with her girlfriends. So it was good this chick brought it to her attention. It was uncomfortable to listen to them yell at each other in the play area. Spencer had a front row seat and was listening to them yell. He came out and I said, "What was that all about?" He said, "Those ladies are enemies!" Haha! That cracked me up.
A little while later Spencer came out and told me a different little boy had slapped him in the face and his lip was red and a little swollen. Once I found out he was Spencer's same age I said, "Well you should hit him back?"
We left a little while after that and as we were heading home Spencer kept talking about the mean boy. I told him it's okay to stick up for yourself. Then Spencer said, "But doesn't Jesus teach us to be nice and not hit other people?" That shut me up after I kept telling him he should have hit him back:-)
Parker has been playing basketball again this year. It has been a lot of fun to watch him play. He has improved SOO much since last year and he is so aggressive and always getting lots of rebounds.
Cory took this right when Parker shot the ball and it was nothing but net! This was one of his best games. He was scoring like crazy. We were with Uncle Justin the next day and Parker was telling him about how many baskets he made and Justin gave him the nickname "Jimmer Jones".
GO PARKER!!!
Lately, Mataya really loves to paint. And anytime the boys are at the table doing homework she has to join in and color or draw. What impresses me so much about her is how dainty she is when she paints. My boys, at this age, would destroy a whole bunch of paint by mixing them all together real fast. She would dip the brush in water in between each color. She is such a little sweetheart, I really enjoy being her mom:-)
