Internal Enforcement

The last little while the girls have been pretty good about staying in their beds at night. Emma still stays up forever, but she doesn't come out until the other girls are asleep and sometimes not at all. Anyway, I was chalking it up to the fact that school started and they were more tired. Apparantly I was wrong.

Last night I was informed of a new program of internal enforcement being run by Kate. She said, " Mom I started something with the girls like my music teacher does at school. I have this bag with lots of my favorite toys and I give the girls 100 pts. at the beginning of the night and they lose them for being crazy and stuff. Whoever has the most points at the end of the night gets to pick something out of my bag and play with it all day the next day."

I guess whatever works. Emma was pretty excited today because she got to play with one of Kate's Bratz dolls. And they definitely have been better. Someday Kate will take over the house but as long as she cleans it I don't mind.
