**Stacy and Courtney - just for fun and to add to the weirdness of what they are doing - we spank too - I just have different disciplines for different actions and so when the action equals a cool down time - this is what it ends up looking like ;-).
there has better be a special place in heaven for living through this.
things that worked and work with Lydia and Samantha DO NOT work with Nora and Sophie.
and by NOT WORK I mean: they completely backfire.
I am a big 'take a break' person.
that usually means, go to your room, chill out, I'll be there in a minute or go to your room and stay there until you can pull it together...etc...you get the picture.
Nora and Sophie, when sent to their 'breaks' do things like:
get in between the mattress cover and the mattress, play hide and seek
pull off every wall decoration in the room
make 'stairs' out of the dresser drawers
turn the closet into monkey bars
practice summer salts and pike jumps on the bed
hide under the bed and stay really really quiet so we freak mom out.
again, etc, you get the picture.
so.
then I turned to 'time-outs'
in the hallway.
on your bottom, hands on your knees.
they now look like this and I have NO IDEA where to turn from here.
I will survive, I'm just not sure I'll be in one piece by the end.
there is an end, right?

Didn't I post a picture of my kids doing that...and you said one of your girls saw it and went to try it....ummm....it's not my fault.
Not a lot of advice...we were spankers...and my kids hated time-outs...so no advice here...stay strong!!
wow. i have no idea. i just spank. and so far it's been pretty effective. but i know it doesn't work for everyone. your girls are...ummm...creative! ;-) i can't wait to see what God does with their sweet little lives!
