Only Good Boys Are Invited!

Things have gotten out of hand here at the sclater house. Our Tre has become quite the sassy pants with attitude to boot. I had exhausted every single form of parenting known to man & NOTHING was working. So if you can't beat 'em...JOIN 'EM! Okay, so were not all becoming sassy, but Rod & I decided to stop for a moment & just have fun with the boys. No more pulling our hair out...instead lets have a teaching moment disguised as a party. So today I quickly put together the most pathetic excuse for a party. We entitled the party "The Good Boy Party" & ONLY good boys were invited! ONLY good boys got gifts, & ONLY good boys received treats. Call it a bribe, But Ill call it an excuse to stop the tears (those being mine. haha)& just have fun with my fabulous guys!










So let me explain. I had planed a super yummy chicken & artichoke sauce over pasta with goasted potatoes & sauted geenbeans in red peppers...with a dessert of homemade race track cake when we had a little bit of....

That would be a picture of my right hand after having stitches put in it today. Turns out its not such a hot idea to try to squish a trash bag with sharp open cans in it into a trash bin. YIKES! I went to pick up Rod from school with a bloody dish rag, he took a peek & brought me to the clinic at the med school. His professor sewed me up & sent me on my way with a prescription of perkisat. So rather then my lovely dinner we had frozen pizza and cup cakes Tre picked out at the grocery store. We had a lot of fun as a family. We flushed the "naughties" down the toilet...you do this by coughing them out of your belly in to a tissue and flushing them down the potty. WORKED LIKE A CHARM! My husband is one clever guy! We played a "is it nice or naughty to...???" game. Of course Tre won:) & We played with new toys & read new books & just laughed & smiled! It was a welcomed change from the ordinary evenings of fits & time outs. I guess we need more cake & parties in our life!
