However, because he was perfect, he would NOT have made a mess and because my sweet cherubs definitely are NOT perfect, the mess is inevitable!!

LOL<br />There are a couple of areas I disagree with, but on a whole - totally with you! Matter of fact - my dd and I had a discussion related to this the other day. She informed me that the kids she knows who are allowed to do what they want when they want and quit anything whenever they want are not living in the real world. This is based on our rule that if you sign up for something - lessons, sport, play - you are committing to everything required and you will see it through to the conclusion. If you don't like it - don't sign up for it again, but you will finish this one!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234383445090580710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31822452.post-69164111885111585832009-04-28T11:51:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:51:00.000-04:00and here I thought you were an amazing mom! pshhh....and here I thought you were an amazing mom! pshhh...what will I do now when I need advice???? <br />p.s. dont forget to add how bad you are by not allowing them to have a hamster...haha. the boys DO have a plan by the way. ;) Evan now wants a digital camera so he can take photos of various hamsters at petco and petsmart.
