THIS MADE ME LAUGH!! LOVE THOSE KIDS!!
That's such a cute post! I love your kids so much. They have so much personality, and that comes from you. You're such a cute mama. And I don't blame Annie for her barking...I don't love some of my neighbors either, and I'd bark at them too if I thought I could get away with it!
Um. . I'll take eggs. I also need to take a page out of your - letting the kids learn from natural consequences and not follow them around so much. Trying to switch the control/no control button is not easy for me.
