The kids may not think so, but I think our summer is off to a good start. This morning we didn't have to ask any of them to clean their rooms, get dressed, read scriptures, etc. They were motivated to do all of that all by themselves because of the electronics rules we have in place. The only downside was that some of them got up at the crack of dawn to get everything done so they could play. Tiago was playing video games by 8:40 in the morning. We only let him play for 2 hours, but we are going to have to tweak the rules a bit.
Also, we completed another little project for grandpa. We made a planter box and planted squash, strawberries, and tomatoes.
We didn't do much to celebrate Memorial day, but we did sit down as a family and watch "Taking Chance," an excellent movie and very appropriate for the holiday.
And I haven't even raised my voice at the kids! We are off to a great start.
