Stella's POV: it's been a month and a half since we went up to the cabin for Christmas with the kids and Kelly's family, it's so crazy that this Christmas was a lot different than last year, but I am so grateful how far we have came since last Christmas. Right now the twins are almost 7 months old, they started solid foods a couple weeks ago and they are doing pretty well with it. Right now the only milestones they have hit or sitting up on their own and having one or two teeth come in. They are getting close to crawling so that's good. The older three kids are doing good at school and Greyson he's getting ready to turn to which is crazy he spin the sweetest boy ever since he was born right now we are all eating dinner after the kids did their homework earlier
K= so kids how was school today
SM= it wasn't too bad
SG= had so much fun in math class today
LM= got some new books today at the library
S= that's amazing Lulu and I'm happy you had fun in math class today Sailor
K= me too
SG= wait a second I just remembered something let me go grab it from my book bag
S= all right ( she leaves) do you guys know what she's getting out of book bag
SM= no idea mom
LM= I can't think of anything
SG= ( she comes back) all right here it is daddy ( hands it over)
K= all right let's see ( starts to read) A father daughter dance which is coming up next week
S= wow how special is daddy he gets two dates to a dance to show off his moves
SM= lucky
SG= so daddy can we go to the dance
K= I don't see why not
LM= well we don't have anything to wear
S= well how about this tomorrow since it's our day off after school I'll take you girls shopping for a new dress for this dance how does that sound
SG= also we need shoes mommy
S= of course we will get shoes tomorrow
SM= mom I'm done
SG= same here daddy
K= all right then put your plate in the sink and go play before bath and bedtime
SM= all right dad
LM= come on Greyson ( they leave)
The next couple of hours me and Kelly clean up the kitchen and the living room then as the older kids do the showers by themselves Kelly did Karter and Grayson's bath time and bed time while I spent one on one time with Miss Kinsley we talked the other kids in bed and second night to them after we put the little ones to bed
K= and everyone is down for the count
S= thank god so are you ready to go dancing with your girls for the father daughter dance
K= oh yeah I'm so ready to show off my moves today
S= i'm kind of jealous of them
K= you are wiser
S= well for one I don't think I ever got to see your dance moves before
K= Really are you sure about that
S= yes I am and second of all we never got to go out dancing as a date night I wish we could do that
K= how about our next date night we will do that how does that sound
S= all right
K= but for right now ( starts Playing music and stands up) May I have this dance
S= of course you can
We start slow dancing in our living room just been in each others arms ( the song that is playing as beneath your beautiful) once we get done dancing Kelly carries me to the bedroom so we can have some adult fun and then we end up falling asleep about an hour later. The next day I took the girls shopping for a dress and shoes for the father daughter dance I love spending time with just the girls by myself. Over the next few days we checked out everyone's dance moves and had fun as a family. Right now we are at work eating lunch
H= hey Kelly are you ready for your father daughter dance with the girls this weekend
K= oh yes so ready
S= we have been practicing the dance moves every day since we found out about the dance
H= trust me the dance is so much fun
K= I hope so
S= ( phone rings) wait what
K= Who is it babe
S= it's the kids school
K= why are they calling you
S= Who knows I'll be right back
H= all right ( she leaves)
S= hello This is Stella
PS= hello this is principal Spencer i'm calling because I have one of your kids in my office because they just got in trouble I need either you or your husband to come down so we can talk about what happened
S= all right one of us will be down there shortly
PS= all right see you shortly ( hangs up)
K= so what's going on
S= I guess one of the kids got in trouble and is sitting in the principals office right now
K= wait really which one
S= she didn't say but one of us have to go down there to talk about what happened
K= all right I guess I'm gonna go to tell Boden we need to leave for a few minutes
S= no Kelly you are the leader of squad three besides I think if we both went down there it will make it then feel worse ( The bells go off) and besides squad three just got called to a car accident
K= all right then good luck
S= you too bye go say some lives ( he leaves)
Hey Casey
MC= yeah Stella
S= so I guess one of the kids are in trouble at school so I need to go and check on them down there
MC= of course go ahead and I'll tell Boden you are covered
S= all right thanks Casey
MC= it's no problem
I leave the fire house headed straight toward the kids to school I arrive within 10 minutes
S= hello I am looking for the principal
PS= hello Stella come this way
S= hey Miss Spencer which one of my kids are in trouble today and why
PS= well I'll let you see for yourself
LM= hi Mom
S= wait it's Luna who's in trouble
PS= yes she is the one that's one in trouble
S= what happen Luna why are you in here
PS= so what happen was that Luna Was just reading her book during lunch and two girls name Taylor and Kylie started picking on Luna for reading so Luna Took it upon herself and hit both of them in the face
S= Luna Marie what in the world got into you
LM= mom it's not the first time they picked on me
S= that doesn't matter Luna
PS= so since this School has a no hitting policy Luna is suspended from school for four days
S= all right I understand
PS= Luna I hope you understand that no matter what if someone is picking on you it doesn't me and you can hit them
LM= I do
PS= i'll make sure all of Luna's homework and or class work is sent home with Sailor when school is over with today
S= all right thank you Miss Spencer
PS= it's no problem
We leave the school and head back toward the fire house the whole time on the way back Luna was extra quiet. We arrive back at the fire house within 20 minutes
LM= please don't tell dad
S= not going to happen let's go inside
K= ( see Stella) so which kid was the one that was in trouble
S= how about you take a guess
K= let me guess Shay
S= nope you are wrong sir ( moves to show him which kid)
K= no way it's Luna
S= oh yeah
K= what did you do cheat on a test
S= actually can we go to your office to talk about it
K= all right I guess it's that bad
S= ( in his office) so Luna didn't cheat on a test
K= okay well that's good
S= so she was getting picked on today at lunch so she decide to take it upon herself and hit two girls in the face
K= are you kidding me
S= I wish I was so she is suspended for four days for this incident
K= oh man she was the kid I didn't think we would ever have to worry about
S= I know it's so since the four days and right before the father daughter dance I think to add to her punishment is to not to let her go to it
K= I agree that makes sense
We spend the rest of our shift with Luna at the fire house then we go home to see our other kids
SM= hey mom hey dad
SG= here is Luna's assignments was she sick or something today
K= no she isn't Sailor
SM= then why wasn't Luna at school when we left today
S= all that you guys need to know is that she can't travel and she will be staying home for a few days
SM= all right mom
We all eat our dinner while the kids tell us about the day . As me and Kelly clean up the kitchen from dinner the kids go and play in their rooms about 10 minutes later
SG= ( yells) Luna give me that back I had it first
LM= no you didn't and I did ( yelling)
K= ( goes into their room) what in the world
SG= come on you don't even play with it
LM= yes I did liar ( slaps her arm)
SG= your mean ( slaps her arm back)
S= ( yells ) sailor Grace and Luna Marie
K= what in the world is going on in here
LM= she wants to take the toy I was playing with first
SG= no I wasn't I was playing with it first she doesn't play with it at all besides she hit my arm
S= are you kidding me Luna this is why you are in trouble at school
K= and since you girls want to fight about a toy nobody will get it ( takes it)
S= now you girls need to go get your bath and be ready for bed soon
SM= no Greyson don't do that
K= I'll go handle them
S= thanks ( Kelly leaves) hey Luna When you're done if your bath come see me and dad
LM= okay mom
( with Kelly)
K= boys what is going on
SM= he is messing with my cars that are all put away I told him no but he still messes with them
GA= I wanted a car
K= I know Greyson but maybe ask brother please next time
GA= okay daddy
SM= yeah Greyson you can play with this one I don't play with this car as much as the others
GA= thank you shay shay
SM= your welcome buddy ( greyson leaves with the car)
K= hey Shay you've got to understand that Greyson is smaller and don't really understand how to ask nicely yet so try to be more understanding with him and don't get too mad at him
SM= all right dad
K= how about you go get a bath and get ready for bed
SM= all right
( in the living room)
S= so how did it go with the boys
K= not too bad Greyson wanted to play with a car and didn't asked so shay told him not to mess with his cars at all
S= so a tiny disagreement
K= oh yeah but it got dissolved pretty quickly
S= that's good
LM= hey mom hey dad
K= hey Lulu
S= come sit down here please
LM= all right ( she does) so what's up
K= so you know how do you find trouble at school today
LM= yes I do
S= do you know getting in trouble comes with consequences
LM= yes o know mom
K= well the first consequence is you don't get to go to the father daughter dance this Saturday
LM= understandable
S= also you have to help clean the house for the next two weeks
LM= all right
K= so we also want to talk to you about what happened today at school
S= so first of all it was so long for those girls to pick on you what they did was called bully
K= and if that happens you have to tell a teacher no hitting because that's not how to solve the problem
S= we always talk to you and your siblings that treat each other like how you'd like to be treated
K= so I hope this will teach you a good lesson about it
LM= it will dad
S= all right go get in bed we will be in in a few minutes to say good night to you and your sister
LM= all right mom ( she leaves)
K= oh man our kids
S= no the kids have gone crazy today
K= right what happened to our kids did they have some special sugar this morning to make them all go crazy today
S= Who knows we'll ask the nanny next time she's here
K= well troublemaker that you are let's go put these crazy kids to bed
S= whatever I'm not a troublemaker but let's go get a troublemakers to bed
We go and tuck the three oldest kids in bed once they are sleep we give the twins and Greyson A bath also decided to spend a little extra time cuddling them. About an hour later we all are fast asleep in our own beds
Kelly's pov; it's been a little over a month since we spent time at the cabin with my family for Christmas it was nice to have a great Christmas at the cabin with my whole family. While we were up there me and my dad decided it was time to add on to the cabin so it was bigger or whenever everyone was up there again. Ever since Christmas he has been up at the cabin working on it and it's been coming along nicely because he sends me updates every week. It's almost Greyson's Second birthday I can't believe he's going to be two years old. last week sailor and Luna tell me about their schools father daughter dance coming up so they went out shopping with Stella the other day to get a new dress and shoes for this event, but then a couple days ago Luna got in trouble at school for hitting two girls in the face so we decided to take the dance away from her as a punishment. Right now I went out to get a few things for this event since it's in a few hours yesterday me and sailor went to go get our nails done for the event
K= hey I'm back
S= all right we are in the bathroom getting ready but don't come in
K= all right then i'll go use the kids bathroom to get ready
S= al right
About an hour later I was already just turning on my date for this dance
SM= you look nice dad

We leave the house and head toward the school for the dance. We arrive within 20 minutes when we get inside sailor ones off to be with her friends while I went over to her all the Dad's are standing and just wait for sailor to come dance with me
We end up staying at the dance for about two hours we did a few dances together we had so much fun
SG= hey daddy i'm ready to go home I'm tired
K= all right sailor bug let's go
SG= all right
We head home and arrive home within 15 minutes I have to carry sailor in because she fell asleep in the car
S= hey guys
