One of my very favorite things is to spend time with my kids. I love when we have no therapists, no doctors, no school and can just be our little family of 10. Unfortunately it always goes over better in my head than in real life. One of the reasons is in my head there is no sound haha.
Two of our kids have RAD, reactive Attachment Disorder, so any kind of change in their regularly scheduled programming really messes with them. So insert 2 week school and therapy break mixed with family coming in a tree in our livingroom and lots going on. The first week home Judah decided he didn't know any English at all and screamed every time I came near him. That was fun (Insert sarcasm). If I would say take off your shoes or shoes off he would pick up a toy. But when family came he would charm the pants off of them and even non verbally told them (while I wasn't the) he had to go to the bathroom and actually went in and went on the toilet without going in his pants first. He never does that at home.
My other child with RAD decides that he will just steal food and poop everywhere. My life is so fun. You totally wish you had my life don't you. :) he is fearful and acts out in horrible ways when things aren't the same. All those issues aside we wanted to do a few things this vacation. We wanted to have a good break.
For Christmas Santa got the kids a zoo pass to the local zoo. So we decided to head to the zoo. It was Misha and Judah's first time at a zoo ever. It was a little cold for us but everyone had a good time.
We also went to Six Flags. Took the entire family and had a great day together. Judah finally got his wheelchair so we were able to keep him safe while out and about. The whole family minus me who had a bout with the stomach bug, I will spare you the details, went to Dinosaur Valley. The kids love it there. They can hike and play and look at dinosaur fossils and foot prints. It's a great place to go.
The oldest two girls went to the shooting range with me and their dad and grandpap. They had a great time.
The older boys go back to school Monday and I'm hoping to do one more fun thing before they go back.
