MEAN mommy!

I can't wait until summer, no not for the lovely 110 degree days and 90 degree nights but for the flip flops! My kids wear socks and shoes and will take them off where ever they feel like it and the next day wear a different pair. I find 2 pairs of shoes and 4 little socks ALL over the house. So 2 days ago I was FED UP! I told both kids that next time I find socks OR shoes anywhere but on the stairs they will lose their most precious possession for 1 day. And I don't think it's too much to ask them to put them on the stairs, I'm not requiring them to take them all the way upstairs! So today I found it, 4 little socks and 1 pair of shoes. Zachary lost his Nintendo DS and Isabella lost her American Girl doll.

We'll see if it works.
