Barbara babysat Anna Kate and Bradley last night and she spent the night at their home.  She came home at 7:30am and found my mom and me asleep in her bed.  She doesn't like that, but she has the nicest bed in the world so we can't help it.

People came to get popcorn to sell, then Mommy had a Cub scout leaders and parents meeting so I read a couple of articles in my Boy's Life magazine before knocking on my friends doors and the only person who answered the door was Austin.  When I came home I was glad to find that lunch was ready: spaghetti.  It's yummy!

Barbara played catch with me because it was shady and not too hot.  I can really hit those whiffle balls.  I was trying to use the techniques that coach showed me to make my batting better.

Barbara took me to Faith Formation and Mommy picked me up.  We had planned to go to Toys R Us and use a gift card I got for my birthday.  I got some Pokemon cards and a two person laser gun set.  It is a gun you use in the dark and it lights up and lets you know when you kit the target.  It is not a real laser beam.

It was a good day until close to bed time (8:30pm).  I wanted to work on a craft that is too hard for me to do.  Mom told me she has ordered one for me that is harder than I have done recently but easier than the one I wanted to do.  I threw a fit and tore up a mask my mom had made for me.  I refused to go to bed.  In general I was being a total brat.  Barbara told me I would get a consequence of no iPhone or iPad for a week if I was not in bed in 60 seconds.  I had amble time to get there, but I stood my ground and said "make it five weeks!"  Well.... I have one week of no iPhone or iPad and I am terrible embarrassed about the whole thing.   I was asleep by 9pm.  Barbara is the person who set the consequence to be one week.  Mommy would make it shorter, but Barbara thinks it needs to make a big impression.  It was just a couple of weeks ago that I had this same consequence and I guess it didn't make much of an impression.   But I do know I didn't like not having those electronics.  Maybe I will learn.

Actually Barbara thinks I spend too much time watching videos on the iPhone or iPad and that some of the things are not terrible but are not really for kids.  She thinks someone should be with me to monitor my video watching.  Hopefully I will read more this week.

I've got to start working on my "homework" for my first communion which is several months away.  There are several lessons I have to work on.

Papa and Grandam met up with Lisa and Danny and watched Elizabeth play volleyball in Arizona.  They were at the Grand Canyon yesterday and the Petrified Forest today.  They are now ready to start heading back home.  They think they might get home on Tuesday evening.
