Some good advice....

Last night before we started FHE, I went in the garage to help Kevin get something out of the car. I came back inside (without my kids hearing me) and I overheard Anistyn giving Stockton some advice. At the dinner table we had told them that after our lesson we could go get some ice cream if everyone was nice and listened (we had some issues with this last week). She sat him down on the stair and this is what she told him: "Ok, listen to your sister, k? If you are good, we can go get some ice cream, but if you're not good, we can't go get any ice cream. So, be good, k?" Stockton replied with his jibber jabber that no one except him can understand. I guess, really, this could be good advice for anyone--BE GOOD AND YOU GET ICE CREAM. Words to live by!

Amen - if we can just be good, we'll get ice cream - how can you argue with that?
