Nippin it now

I have always been able to brag and have always been grateful about how wonderful my kids get along. If you ask one they will tell you the other is their best friend. Well this week, something snapped and we have had that little bickering stuff. Ugh. Hubby and I put up with it for about 3 days. Well by Saturday I had my fill so the kids and I had a nice long talk. The rest of the weekend I caught two little bickers (yes I know some will happen but I wont have it constant) anyway, I told them they needed to be happy in their hearts, etc, etc. They went to pray last night and I was in the hallway Brittney prayed: "Let me and my brother respect each other, and Braden prayed to love his sister and God more than he loves them now"....so maybe some of my talk sunk in.

I hope so, because this behavior was so unlike them. We shall see how this week goes. We leave for Texas on Friday just the kids and I so will be getting ready for that. Today going to have some fun and take them to see Ratatouille since Britt is convinced they are the last kids in the world getting to go see it. Wanting to do some fun stuff since we will start back full schedule of school on the 20th. I worked for hours on my first 6 weeks of lesson plans this weekend. I only have a few subjects left. So going to be busy getting things around, etc., but throwing in some fun and hopefully not quite as full of run as last week was.
