My Kids Scare Me

The power of siblings is terrifying. When Aiden and Caileigh get together, they are fearless. As long as one is laughing and egging the other on, they will attempt anything. They feed off each other and run wild around the house in a wild, frenzied state of chaos. I am thankful that they are best friends but with this comes constant fighting. They pinch, shove and tackle each other over petty offenses ALL DAY LONG. Each child on their own is quiet and obedient. Such a difference than when they are together.
Today I told them they could play upstairs until I finished cleaning the kitchen and then I would come up and get them settled into quiet time. In those 10 min. they managed this.

I know the room was spotless because we had to clean it 4 times yesterday after they trashed it.

Well we are going to get serious. We have to or what will happen when Mikayla joins the ranks. We will be thrown out of our own house. Aiden is upstairs cleaning up the mess and the next time they trash their rooms they will start losing some toys. We'll start there and see where it goes.

At least one can't move yet.

    And what were they playing at? Surely not destruction for destruction's sake alone?? As Monkey would say...they must have had a "plan." And now it's time for mommy and daddy to unify forces and implement their own "plan" ;) One of the hardest things of being a parent is being the "enforcer"....but a neccessary role none the less. My prayers are with you and Daddy!
