Park Pay Off...

 We have stopped at the park almost everyday after school this week.  We have had lots of behavior issues there (running away from Mom, pushing our brother, and throwing rocks... just to name a few) but I have remained optimistic and it paid off today.  The boys were the best they've been all week!  Of course, they didn't actually want to play on most of the equipment today.  They opted for running circles around the basketball court and Conner enjoyed stomping on all the dandelions!  Ben busied himself with jumping off of the equipment... luckily it was the smaller equipment...


When I told them that it was time to go so we could make some lunch, Conner ran back over to the basketball court, laid on the ground, and started snoring... apparently he figured that if Mommy thought he was asleep, then I would just let him stay.  That's not how it works, but it was a pretty imaginative idea!  Ben ran over and joined in too!
