Things I Say Over and Over Again on a Typical Week Day

"Daddy's at work... He left when you were sleeping."
"Let's get your hair done...You look so cute/handsome."

"Get your shoes on and we'll go to the gym... Yes, you can watch cartoons at the gym if no one else is already watching a show." 

"No playing in the pool unless your wearing a swimsuit. Are you wearing a swimsuit's .... Then you can't play in the water.... When it is summer time we can swim more."
"Come on Olive let's go."
"Don't get in the fridge... It is not lunch time yet."
"Everyone sit on the couch for preschool."
"Put the crayons away and put your picture on the fridge."
"Get a book for story time and sit on the couch."
"Wait for the prayer before you start eating"
"Try again... Say 'Can please I have ___.'"
"If you get your room clean before the timer goes off then you can have a nickle, if not mommy will help you finish your room but you don't get paid."
Heber Photo-Bombing Hannah and Fancy Nancy

'"No throwing sand."
"Shoes and jackets go in the closet, not on the floor."
"Give each other a hug and say your sorry."


"Toys stay in your room."
"We can go to the park once you do your laundry or clean up the living room... Yes, I'll pay you a nickel if you get it done in 10minutes, before the timer goes off. "
"You can play ABCmouse your room is clean."
"It's not time for dinner."
"We'll eat when dad gets home."
"Daddy's Home!"
"Eat over your bowl/plate."
"Wipe your hands on your napkin. Not on your shirt."
"Put your pajamas on."
"Stay in your bed. No getting out of bed."


But my favorte things to say my kids are:
"Thank you for ______."
"I love you."

  3. First they pay their tithing, of course. They usually go to the store and buy something of their choice. Last time Heber bought a squirt gun and Hannah some silly putty.
