Demon Spawn

Wm has been in rare form today.  Totally evil.  Not listening, being all teen angst-y, and just mean/diabolical all day. At one point, he sent a note down from his room (where I sent him) that said I was the "meanest mom in the world."  After Steve relented and let him out, Wm proceeded to slam him in his man bits with a baseball.  When Steve finally peeled himself off the grass, Wm went right back up to his room.  Where he is currently staying.  I went up and told him that he had to stay up there and think about how he had treated the family today and ways he could try to be nicer tomorrow and we'll hope for a better day.  He nodded and looked penitent, so we'll see how that goes.

Here are some pictures of when we went sort of hiking and Wm was being sort of nice.

Learned to skip rocks!

Sanctioned climbing!

Wm only has 3 more days of school!  Tomorrow is Field Day where they just get to play outside for most of the day. And Thursday is Lunch on the Lawn and a half day, so really - he's only got 1 more full day of real school left!  I love summer break!!!  So does Wm.  

Meanwhile, Steve is still icing down his family jewels.
