"Family Night"

Our family went to the Fair last Thursday night, without Max. He gets so stubborn and he decided he didn't want to do his homework, so he stayed home instead. We locked up the computer and the t.v. so he just had to "hangout" on his own while we were gone. It was such a hard night for me though, I wanted this to be a fun family night together, but I knew that I had to stick to the consequence. After getting home I tried to get him to do his homework one last time and then he would be able to watch t.v. before bed, but he still wouldn't do it, he said "I can do it during 'Fun Friday' since I already lost it". I was so embarrassed to send him to school the next day without his homework done. What is even harder, is when I feel like it doesn't bother him to miss out on these fun family activities. It's not like that was the first time he has chosen not to go with us because he didn't want to do something he needed to get done. I am just hoping this is just a stage that will pass soon!

My camera ran out of batteries, but I got a picture of Van on the airplane.
