This is my beautiful, smart, funny, talented, kind and generous daughter, Chandler. She recently won the Principal's Award for her class (I may have told you that). So I know that she knows how to be good. And how to keep her mouth shut.
We are day 4 into summer vacation for the kids and she may not live through the summer at the rate she's going.
Example #1
Quinn was playing a game on my phone. Chandler wanted to play, so she tried to yank the phone away from Q. He wouldn't let go. So then there was a 9 year old and a 3 year old playing tug-o-war with my iphone.
Me: Chandler. You're 9 and he's 3. Which one do you think should know better in this situation?
Chan: Um, yeah....he's not 3 yet.
And then I threatened to hit her. Chris stepped in and sent her to her room.
Example #2
I took Casey to dance class tonight. When we got home, Chris had dinner ready and we all sat down to eat. Chris and I began talking about how there is this constant hum in our house.
Chris: I almost had to enforce a Quiet Rule while you were gone. (looks at Chan)
Chan: Whaaaaaaattttt???? Isn't this a free country?
Chris and I both stop eating and she continues talking...digging the hole deeper and deeper. Until she finally stops...
Chan: Maybe I should just stop talking now.
Me: Really? Ya think?
Chan: Um, yeah, yeah I do.

Please pray for us. And this child.

Oh girl . . . it's just starting. Fasten your seat belt. :) Good thing they are sooo adorable.
As the mother of a 9 year old and almost 11 year old girl, i agree with Crystal. Fasten your seat belt.
I had to laugh though-my girls' last day is tomorrow!
