Michaela and I went to an Arbonne party at our friend Celeste Bowler's house. A ten year old and forty six year old using the same products. Of course I bought $100. worth of product.

Doug and I are back to our old tricks. For enrichment craft night we built 26 frames for the embroidery project. I don't know why it doesn't occur to me that 26 frames is significantly more involved than 5 or 6. Anyway, the project went well. Michaela embroidered one and after she told me she "felt good about herself." Love it.

Enough for now...love to all.

Still no camera...
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago Spencer and Michaela were bickering over the television and it was out of control. Like any mom worn out with the role of referee, I put them in a room and had them draw up their own rules for the TV. This was the document presented to me, typed verbatim:

1. aways first agree of a show.
2. violence is not to solve problems.
3. never correct each other.
4. the show must be unviolent.
5. Mom is the last resort.
6. no bossiness.
7. if neither agree on a show one moves upstairs in the act of rock, paper, scissors.
8. if winning alot thoughtfully give a turn and go upstairs.

Such lofty goals. I am charmed but not convinced.

Enough for now...love to all.
