Today Becca is going to spend the weekend with her Grammy. Ali and Zoe are terribly jealous. It didn't help that Becca accidentally woke up Ali this morning with questions about when and how Grammy will get her, and then rubbed it in a bit. If Becca hadn't worked to hard to earn this weekend, I would have taken it away from her for the attitude this morning.
I consoled Ali with telling her that Daddy was going to take her somewhere special. Becca then went to her Daddy and asked him where he was taking the twins tomorrow, and he told her that he would be taking them to Micah's first baseball practice. Tony had no idea what was going on, so he really can't be blamed. Becca came back gloating that Ali and Zoe were just going to Micah's practice, and that they went there all the time.
Grr.
At this point Ali is bawling and asking why Grammy doesn't want her over. I'm trying to explain that it's just for the weekend and that Grammy loves her and wants her to come over when it's her turn.
Then Zoe starts crying. Same thing. At this point I'm just irritated at Becca. She sees this and starts to apologize to the girls. She doesn't know what to say to make them feel better, though.
Finally they are distracted by breakfast. I'm busy thinking of how I'm going to make this weekend special for the other kids. The problem is that I'm busy most of Saturday, and the kids are going to be with Tony. I'm pretty sure Tony can do something cool with them, though. Saturday evening for dinner, Tony and I will be out and the Micah and the twins will be with my mom, and I'm sure my mom will make that fun if Tony doesn't come up with something.
Micah's totally fine because he gets to start baseball this weekend. That is going to make his weekend great. Anything more than that for him is just icing. He used to care when Becca got to go to Grammy and Grandpa's house, but he really doesn't anymore. He just likes it when there are fewer people in the house so it is quieter.
Tony came in the door from dropping off Micah and Becca at school and started playing with the girls. He has them happy again, and I know that they will have fun with him tomorrow.

We try to do one on one things with the girls and always wind up with the same issue. Whoever stays home is miserable and cranky - even though they get a turn etc. Hope everyone gets a fun weekend in!!
Ahh siblings.
