A Discipline Issue Regarding Destruction of Property

One of my daughters called me up to her room during quiet time to tell me something was broken.  Uh oh!  I went up there to find the CD player I had loaned her with two buttons irreparably mashed in and the speaker dented.  She didn’t do it on purpose, she said, but looking at… [continue reading]

Texas State Fair 2010

The other day I told my husband that I would love to go to the Texas State Fair.  To my great surprise he said, “Let’s go!”  He took the day off so he could take us during the week when it was cheaper and less crowded than on the weekend.  This was completely an act… [continue reading]

Funny Kid’s Quotes #2

I yelled upstairs to Joy and told her to quiet down. “What? Mom? Say again because I think you say blah blah blah!” This post it linked to Mud Pies for Mommy.

Practicing Our Letters in…Salt?

“Mom!” Joy screamed, “Look what Jason Jr is doing!” I went running.  He had emptied my whole carton of salt all over the floor.  I sighed and told myself there was no use crying over spilled salt.  Well might as well make use of it!  So I grabbed my kindergartner and told her, “Today we’re… [continue reading]

I Lost My Jewel

The other day Joy, age six, came pounding down the stairs during quiet time.  She was wailing and flailing, but that is the usual drama we see several times a day. “Joy, you are not supposed to be out of your room at quiet time.” More wailing.  More flailing. “What is the matter?” Finally managing… [continue reading]

Frustraded

From the back seat of the van my then five-year-old kept shouting, “Mama?” I kept answering, “Yes?” over and over. Significantly frustrated (that’s a nice respectable sounding word) I said, “Baby, don’t say ‘mama’ anymore!” There was a short pause, and then I heard a meek, “Esther?” A real mom would probably not have died… [continue reading]

Boarding School

I was talking about my boarding school experience, and I didn’t realize that my children were paying any attention.  My first-grader piped up and asked if she could go to boarding school. Although I had been talking about some the fun things I did there, I didn’t want her to get too excited about it. … [continue reading]

My Little Laborer

I had my six-year-old sweep the floor for me a few days ago. The next morning she put her hand on her hip and pointing to the grass that was tracked in said, “What happened here? We just cleaned up this place!” Funny how you see things differently when you’re the one that did the… [continue reading]

Knock, Knock, Knock

While my niece, Ashley, was visiting, she helped us a lot with the kiddos. One night she watched as my two middle girls played with their four year old cousin. Evidently the cousin was locking the girls out of their rooms. My girls finally came to Ashley for help. Ashley told them to try knocking…. [continue reading]
