Another moment worth recording

My kids did not fight, argue, or yell for 30 minutes today.
I told them we would use my water color pencils and do art, but they had to be very polite to each other or the art session would be over. They were very good, used please and thank you, took turns with the single set of pencils.
Once they had finished the paintings they immediately started fighting again, but for 30 mintues we had love at home.

Those are the times when I think... Is this what the city of Enoch is like?... then reality hits at my house and its back in the fight again.

Sounds like verses could be added to the "family song"...LOL!

Hmm. How did that go again? Something about ...(ahem, cough) Joseph's screaming, "That's not fair!" Eli's pulling Annie's hair! Thora won't get off the phone, in the Lieby home. Love at home...!
