Desparate Mommy

So I came up with this game that I called "Chinese Stones" to get my kids to quit running around the house like crazy people. I told them they had to hold still and I would put Chinese healing stones on them that would give them special power. The first one to let one fall off of them would loose their power. It was great! They stayed in this position for about 15 minutes. It was quiet and peaceful at our house for a few minutes anyway...

  1. The Chinese healing stones - now that's a good one. I wonder if they will remember that one when they are parents one day...You are funny and creative Becky!

  4. Very desperate in deed! I remember being little, and all of us kids would be in our peach suburban with a thick navy blue stripe on going through the middle (so cool), and we would be driving to Utah for a vacation. With 5 little kids, it got really loud in the car. My mom would say, "Whoever stays quiet the longest, I will buy you a candybar!" This worked for a minute or two, and then my oldest brother would tickle the youngest brother to make him laugh, and then he'd say, "I guess you lost!" I love the pics of your kids though. They look so cute and relaxed. I have a fun Yoga kids DVD that you guys could borrow. My kids loved it a couple years ago when Caitlynn was Zach's age. I'll bet your kids would love it.
