We brought our pumpkins to school today!

It was pumpkin day at school and the twins brought their pumpkins to school. Some mean boy told G boy that his pumpkin was not good, or something like that and made my boy cry. I am so angry that kids can say such mean and not true statements....why? I try to teach my children to be kind and use kind and loving words to their friends, each other, and even strangers. I have taught them that sometimes we talk about things or people who we see different as a family, where we can express ourselves in a trusting environment. Example: G girl sees someone at school that is in a wheelchair, doesn't say anything at school and comes home or in the car (can't remember) and asks why they look "weird and scary" We then talk about it as a family...talk about how God makes everyone and everything different. And he isn't weird or scary, he is just different than we are. He is happy and loved by his family. Sometimes we look different, Halloween, when we are sick, even with bed head! but we are loved and we need love. I really didn't expect to go off like this, but I wish that boy would say kind things. I hate to see my boy sad about such a stupid thing someone said. Also a boy elbowed mine in the side at the soccer game on saturday, because mine made a goal and got it past him. I told the other coach while I was out there coaching and watched the whole thing go down. I would have made that boy get off the field, he just said..." we don't hurt other people or elbow people" no apology, no time out. The boy just looked at me, like I got away with it. I would have taken my boy out of the game if he or the girl did it. Wrong, what are we teaching our kids. It is ok to hurt others.
Oh-well...it was a good day, let the kids stay up a little and watch a halloween type show on disney. They were so cute, sitting on the red chair together with a blanket snuggled up. I love it when they have their twin time. It makes me smile! Tomorrow will be Brown day...wish Mackenzi could see the cute outfit....i know miss kimmmie will tell her all about it!
