My Step-Kids just spent the week with us for their spring break. They are William (13), Logan (9) and Emi (7). Of course it had to rain almost everyday that they were here. We had a great time though. We went to Chuck E. Cheese. We went to the park. The kids played on the trampoline (when it wasn't wet) We played board games. They played with all of their toys in their rooms. The boys went fishing and worked on trucks with their dad. Emi and I went shopping. We bought her first digital camera! I can't wait to see what she takes pictures of. (as long as they are not of me!)
This week was the first time that we had seen William in 2 years. (He has gotten soo BIG!!) I was SOO nervous about him coming. Mostly because so much time had past. I did not know anything about him anymore. Plus we'd been told that he had a really bad attitude at home. So I was not sure how he was going to act and behave when he got here. It went GREAT!! I think he had a good time. He said he did. I think he had really missed coming to see us. It's a long story of why he was not coming to visit us anymore, but I do think that he will come to see us more often in the future.
Logan, was fantastic this week too. The last time he visited, I was very very frustrated with him. Everytime I tried to talk to him he would give me a horrible look and/or walk out of the room. There were a lot of things going on at his Mom's house, that I think was contributing to his attitude. This week he had NONE of the attitude. He was absolutely darling! Very very sweet all week.
Emi....What can I say about my Emi? She is always soooo adorable. Well most of the time. The last morning she was here, we were at the mall shopping. All of the sudden
she turned to me, and said that she has "soo much fun" at my house. She also told me she did not want to go home. My heart just broke! She says it is not fun at her house. I am almost positive that she gets more attention and love when she is with her Dad and me. The night before we "baked" cookies together (the kind that you just place onto the cookie sheet and bake) Nothing special, but you could just tell, that to her, it was.
Jody and I would LOVE for the kids to come and live with us. We are trying to convince the kids mother that them coming to live with us is what it best for them. I hate to take them away from their mom, BUT the environment that they are in is not good for them. Again, a very very long story.......They NEED to have a more stable environment. They need to have better role models in their lives. She has said that it was up to the kids. The thing is, when the kids are here with us, they say they want to live with us. But then they go home.... I am not sure if they are scared to tell their mom that they want to come here or what, but so far it has not worked out in our favor. Maybe this time will be different. Maybe the kids will be living with us by the next school year. I hope so!
