...and so it is at the R Ranch!
The first day of Martial Law (ML) began with an explanation as to why this was occurring. Mommy and Daddy sat JOR and SRR down and explained that in many countries where the leaders have lost control and need to regain it, ML is enacted to make the country safe and stable until a more peaceful means is found. This is a drastic measure used only when the citizens' behavior undermines the law of the land.
OK, so I was busy patting myself on the back when I heard, "Can we play now?" Ugh!
After a rough ride to school, they supposedly had a better day than yesterday. Both stayed on green and even had their picture taken together (this should be good...).
Then they came home.....
While cooking dinner, the neighbors came over to see if the boys could play. I had to explain that they were on restriction for the weekend and won't be able to play til Monday. This killed JOR and SRR! (Yes!) Then they had to find a quiet activity. JOR finally pulled out the microscope he got for Christmas. "Mom, this is SO cool!" SRR designed a generator from a cardboard box. Hmmmm...... Are they using...you know...that thing...that..brain?!?!?!
Then the rest of the night featured dinner, an in and out trip to Target, YMCA without swimming (this killed them also!), they brought their laundry down, read a book, had snack, then bed. Tomorrow, they will find their list of activities posted on our family whiteboard. I'm sure this is going to go over well....not!
Until next time....police away!
