Sometimes my kids drive me crazy

Like when we’re at an Advent party and one kid throws himself on the floor and has an episode. And another kid starts pouting when the world doesn’t revolve around her.

And sometimes my kids can be really sweet. The writer’s punishment was to write how Mary would behave. She went upstairs and came down with this:

Mary Doss not do

1. Mary Doss not sin

2. Mary Doss not pout

3. Mary Doss not say no

4. Mary Doss not hit

5. Mary Doss not Pinch

And then I asked this child, “but what does Mary do?” So she went upstairs and came down with:

Mary Doss Do

Mary Obays

Mary ses yes to God

Mary loves

Mary prays for us

Mary saves us (*we had to talk about this one afterward–that Jesus saves us*)

Mary watches over us

So then she asks to do something fun. I needed to rebag some of the homeless bags Lindsey left with us to give out.  So I asked Therese to take care of it. I also asked her to make some candy cane notes. So she wrote out all the notes and then the letter on the bag…

I love my kids…
