Being grounded

Emma got grounded this week. She pushed her limits too far too many times, so Daddy finally had to ground his little girl....who apparently likes being grounded. 🤔 At first she was a sad because she was in trouble. But later she told me she was glad to be grounded so she could spend time with her family. Apparently it was her favorite part of the day. 🤷‍♀️ When she got home the next day she was all tears when she couldn’t go play with her friends. So she and I went for a walk/bike ride since it was like 65 degrees and sunny out. (Exercise was ok with Daddy.) Yesterday I woke up exhausted and said that I just wanted to have a day where I didn’t have to go anywhere and I could just stay home. To which she replied, “Maybe you need to be grounded, too.” 😂😂😂 What a thoughtful child, I don’t think grounding was much of a punishment, but it was good for her. I think her grounding will be over tomorrow, but it has mostly been a pleasant grounding, if there is such a thing. 

Since she couldn’t play with her friends, she helped me make dinner last night. 

Doing Bible study this morning. She is doing a book that is really for bigger kids, so we take turns doing all the writing...and we have to look up a LOT of words, but she likes to do it! 

All ready for school this morning!

We had a busy week beside being grounded. Steven’s new chief got in and he started his Japa was class, which he says is very good. He has already learned some new, helpful words. I haven’t taken very many pictures this week, even though there was a lot I could have. I had beef curry for the first time. I went to Denny’s here, which was very interesting. We played Quiddler Junior and colored, and of course our lovely bike ride! I need to do better at remembering to take pictures!
