I can never decide how loud I should let the kids be, but I guess when I start to get a headache, that means they're too loud. Interesting blog! Thanks for stopping by.

People at church are amazed that I sit by myself with 3 boys every Sunday, but that's the key, we do it EVERY Sunday. I need to be better about #3. We don't have much of a yard to send them out in though. We’re not quite there either, I have a 3-year-old who’s just discovered these blood-curdling squeals lately, but I completely agree with #1.

"Your kids are home? I can't even hear them." But I attribute that more to there being a basement and Spongbob. Seriously though, I agree that the steps you've talked about work. I also think that, because we homeschool, our kids are forced to be good friends so there is less fighting. Also, we don't have video games for them to fight over, and they have learned that when they get too loud mommy gets loud or chores are assigned. No one likes either of those.
