Oh really??

Yesterday Zack asked me how to spell "haft". I asked him to say it in a sentence because I wasn't' sure what word he was saying. He said, "I haft to do something." I explained to him that it was actually two separate words "have" & "to" and he was pronouncing it wrong. He argued with me about whether or not "haft" was a word for a while. I told him that lots of people talk fast and say "haft" but if you were writing it down it's two words - have & to. To that he said, "mom you just don't understand". I assured him that I DO understand and he was just saying the words wrong just like when he says "duspossed to" instead of "supposed to" ... which I correct on a regular basis. Then he started to cry and said "I just want to know how to spell haft". To that I replied .. "h-a-f-t but its really not a word". Zack started crying in frustration. He truly thought I just didn't understand him. He said, "Mommy .. It's like .. I HAFT to go somewhere" ... Again, I tried to tell him that it wasn't HAFT. He went back to the computer and I heard what sounded like a swift punch to the keyboard. I called him out to the living room. His face was red with frustration ... I asked, "did you just punch the computer?" He said, "yeah, but haft is a word ... like, I want haft the apple." I wasn't about to start again. I told him "okay, but you don't get to use the computer anymore since you punched it."

On a happy note:

Kaelyn is going to Day Camp at church this week. She is making some new friends and learning lots about Jesus! She is having a lot of fun! It's from 830 to 430 all week long!

Zack is doing famously in swimming lessons! He is getting to be a great swimmer! He has a crush on his swimming instructor. He talks about her all day long. He told me yesterday that if "Miss Krislyn was my swimming teacher I would loooooooooooove her."

Zane is getting super active! He is rolling over like crazy. He's sitting up and starting to show beginning signs of crawling!

Mike is working hard, as usual:-) We have a surprise Father's Day weekend planned for him next weekend. I can't believe Kaelyn is keeping it a secret. I knew better than to tell Zacky:-)

I am starting a new Bible Study tonight. I don't know anyone else that signed up but I have really missed going this year so I decided to sign up solo. The study is on Esther.
