Mica's friend has teen siblings. For some reason I think his family thinks he's a teen to. He always hangs with them. They all have electronic devices of some sort. He's always busy hanging with a teen sibling. They never ask if any kid his own age can do anything. When we've called he's always busy with baseball, or hanging with a teen.
He was busy all day yesterday, next week, and after that they are going on vacation. I did get them to agree to have him come over yesterday evening.
Isaak's friend has a split family. They aren't divorced, but have been split up for at least 3 years. He lives with his Dad and Grandparents. I can talk to his Grandparents really well. His Dad never calls me back. I get the opposite feeling with him than I do the Grandparents. I can't talk to him. The Mom I've only seen at the Mother's Day breakfast at school. I guess she takes her son at random times, and doesn't tell anyone when she's bringing him back. Setting up playdates is hard with him to.
Why is it so hard to set up playdates compared to when I was a kid?
Thursday was a bust with friendships.
It's too bad because I like the kids that my son's consider friends.
I was going to take the kids someplace special, but they couldn't decide where to mutually go.
Isaak started being a pistol.
They lost the privilege to go play mini golf, to the Children's Museum, or a bounce house.
I didn't want to make the whole day a bust. We did go to the library to pick up season 2 of Webster.

It was like they were rock stars. Isaak was greeted with hugs, and Mica was greeted with fit bumps. It was summer school kids that were up there.
One of Isaak's friends said, "Does this mean you are going to be joining me in summer school Isaak?" Isaak's like, "Nope!"
The principle thanked me for bringing our boys up to school. The cafeteria lady came out, and talked with me for a few minutes saying that she missed my boys.
They played on the playground.
We have a heat advisory here. It's now the south's turn to laugh at us like we do with them and the snow. It's in the 90s, which is high for right now. There are advisories on the news.
