We are in Florida for memorial day weekend

So we are in Florida this holiday weekend. Willies mom had another "mini" stroke last week and was hospitalized fir the while week. Thankfully she was discharged on Friday. She is in high spirits and is doing better. Her memory is pretty good. She even remembers mana's name. Which is funny because she always called him Dewey-Monday LOL. She never could pronounce Tuimana :). That was awesome to hear Dewey-monday hahaha. She really lives her "babies" which are her grandkids, and no one better mess with them or she will whoop 'em . Hahahahaha victoria had come out of one of the rooms crying today saying aunty had hurt her. Sidenote: that's not right. Victoria was jumping on the bed (big no no) she fell and hurt herself and aunty rubbed her back to see if she was ok. Victoria some how I interpretted that as aunty hurting her. Anyway nana ( my mom inlaw) got upset because v was crying and told her to tell aunty not to hurt her or she would whoop her. She was serious too. Nana is very protective of her babies. She tells us to be nice to the babies whenever we try to discipline the kids.
So for the next month we are having our nephew dj stay with us. Victoria is staying in Florida with her uncle dwayne and aunty Krystal. This should be really interesting to say the least. We also found out today that the boys will be staying with us or a month this summer. We are really excited for this very full summer.

Busted!!

So I was online today paying bills and just window shopping online. Well I checked our bank account and found 2 charges for a flower delivery company. I thought ok the first one is for my mom in law and the second must be for me. I wonder if willie thought I would check our account before this weekend came up. Yeah Im not going to say anything to willie because that would be mean. I will act very surprised. I like flowers.

I also wanted to say Im so proud of Mana. He is already doing better in school. I got his spelling test today and he only got two wrong. He also finished all of his school work without having the teacher on him the whole time. I promised Mana a little treat if he would do well on his test. He is very excited to get a treat. Im going to let him pick what kind of plant he wants to start growing.

Oh and the RS presidency came by today with a little plant and some banana bread (which was so delicious). Im so excited for the plant. Its just a small plant but I love it. Im excited to watch it grow.

Mana's better

Well thankfully Mana has recovered for the most part. He hasn't had a fever for about 2 days so thats a good thing. His cough is even getting better. So I went and saw Mana's teacher today and I was there for 1 hour. That was a very long hour. I didn' t know teachers met with parents for so long. The whole time I had a nasty expression on my face ( I have some mean angry faces ask willie hahahaha) but that didn't phase her. She just talked and talked and talked and talked. We didn't get very much accomplished. She did realize that she hadn't sent home any letters or notes notifying me of what's going on with some areas like spelling homework and reading. I also found out that Mana's class is comprised of kids who have behavioral issues. Which is bizarre because thats one thing she said Mana has no problem with. He has never spoken back or given attitude to any of his teachers. Oh and I asked about summer school and apparently that might not do it this year because of lack of funding. NC has already cut teachers pays since this recession crap. So yeah I'm trying to get Mana to keep and journal. I'm hoping this will help his writing, spelling and organizing his thoughts to paper. I don't think he likes it very much. It funny, Mana remembers a lot of random things about trips and people and places we have been. He even remembers what year and his age and stuff, but he doesn't remember what he did at school. LOL Hopefully my new plan I have will work. Im also trying to find things he likes to do and then have him write about what we just did.
Thanks to Meleofa and Dustin for introducing him to plants etc he really wants to grow some stuff so Im thinkiing I will take the kids to a nursery and get some seeds, pots etc and grow them on our porch. I know both kids really loved planting with Meleofa and Dustin.
Miriam you crack me up about the bug thing. We have mosquitoes which was horrible the other night. Victoria had opened the porch door during the day and I didn't know she had done that and 3 mosquitoes came into the house and ended up in my room and bit me all night. I finally found them and killed those suckers hahahahaha. bugs are sooooo gross.
