Discipline...

Ok I don't know how everyone else gets their kids to stop fighting with each other and be nice but here is something that really seems to work well for me. Yesterday Makenna and Amy started the day off bad on the way to church and they seemed to be mad at each other forever. They were bickering for a good part of the afternoon. Makenna was having an emotional breakdown. (She is my drama queen!) Anyway, when my kids don't get along with each other I make them stand in "Time Out" hugging each other. When they are really MAD it takes a little bit longer for them to like each other again but this works every time. As soon as I stuck them together they started giggling and enjoying each other again. Then of course we talk about how when there is no one else to play with you always have your sisters cause they love you! Unless of course you are mean to each other then they don't like you too much. Here are some pictures I decided to take to remember this in later years.
