Lessons we had learned over the last Month...
*hiding something under your bed that you broke and then saying you don't know where it is, IS a lie! Its better to just own up to it and be forgiven, than hide it and get into trouble for the lie!
*leaving your scooter behind the van WILL end with the scooter being run over and possible damaged. Its better to make sure than the scooter is put back in the correct place on the side of the garage, that way we will have it to ride for a long time!
*rolling down the hill in the yard WILL result in dog poop being smashed onto your clothing and children running away from your screaming...POOOOOOP! Its better to clean up the dog poop on a daily basis.
*talking, and playing around in your chair during your sister's performance at school WILL result in you having to carry her school bag for her for three days. Its better to just sit quietly and enjoy the show!
*waiting all week to do an assignment that is due on Friday and then not getting it done in time, WILL result in getting an infraction from the teacher. Its better to do a little at a time during the course of the week to ease up the load and avoid the infraction!
*eating a WHOLE GIANT JALAPENO on a bet from your sister WILL result in burning ears, burning mouth and sore stomach from drinking 5 cups of milk to ease the burn! Its better to JUST SAY NO!
*Yelling at your brother and throwing his toy on the ground in a big fit WILL result in you apologizing and going to bed early! Its better to try and talk it out!
*staying up late to see Daddy when he gets in late from work WILL result in THREE HAPPY CHILDREN AND A VERY HAPPY DADDY!! Also, one very tired Mommy!
Life is full of fun and not so fun little lessons, and I am thankful for all that we have learned so far. I know that some of the lessons we will learn in the future may not be so easily learned and may take some very hard time to get through, but for NOW, we are enjoying this growing and learning time....Together, Happy, Sad, Good, Bad, Funny...TOGETHER!

It's always a good thing when they learn from their OWN mistakes. What you do today will make them stronger tomorrow. You and John have a healthy happy family because you work hard to keep it that way.
