I love "got ready for church quickly". Funny.
The chart was a "no keeper", huh? I'm always so excited when I come up with a new gimmick promising FABULOUS results...then a day or two into it I want to kick myself, the gimmick, and anyone else within the vicinity.
If you upped your dose none of this would matter. Nothing would matter, in fact.
The chart was definitely a keeper. I liked how me-centric it was. If the sad faces outnumbered the happy faces by Saturday, they had to do extra chores. It worked. Try it.
I like this chart idea! I wonder if Maddie is old enough for it to work with her.
Ah, so true..."if Momma ain't happy, Ain't nobody happy."
I like this idea...I am very into anything, "me-centric"!
Sorry, Henry got threatened. I am sure the frowny face properly chastised the threatener.
Trust me. If you attach your happiness to your kids behavior you will be in a rubber room in no time!! Especially if you have more than one child! I swear mine used to tag team to see how quickly they could make me crazy.
why do you have barney po*n in your house?
oh. wait. you meant the KID was nekkid. my bad.
If only Alice wouldn't be so grumpy and rude when you picked her up from the dentist, then maybe Max could watch his Barney nekkid in peace.
Aren't I helpful?
which kid was nekkid? if it was Alice, "picture please"...if not, not thanks.
Amen! Love it!
P nut m&m's cure everything. Unless you share.
Why did someone getting ready for church quickly make you unhappy? Either you're weirder than I thought or that one's in the wrong column.
Who was grounded from bread? That made me LOL...something I NEVER do!
OMG.. when I first read the first line under the photos... I thought it said 'Children's AUCTIONS'... then re-read as 'Children's ACTIONS'. I'm such a dork.
