Compromise

Many days as a mother I feel inadequate. I don't know how to solve sibling arguments. I make a threat I know I won't follow through with. I say the completely wrong thing in the completely wrong tone. Sometimes though, I have great mommy moments.

We've been having homework problems. Homework is getting done and its quality is good, but no one is happy. Really, we all just want to play outside. It's hard to make the girls do their homework when the sun is shining and warm. So we compromise. Above, you see Hadley practicing her spelling words....

Even better would be Hadley practicing her spelling while Stephen is watching. Playing with chalk usually consists of "mommy write ambulance mommy write helicopter mommy write library" and so on ...
