under arrest

last night, toy jail claimed its first real victims... Q's ipod and a shrinky dink set caroline got for her birthday.

upon learning of the new inmates, Q told us his heart was broken. caroline cried like somebody had died.

hopefully the lesson was learned and the toys can be paroled on sunday.

toy jail

in an attempt to get the kids to clean up after themselves, we have introduced toy jail. any toys that aren't put away at night get locked up (in a clear bin so as to torment the kids as much as possible.) toys can be earned back with good behavior.

Q is very sad for the clown on the sign though. he asked me to make a new sign without the clown so he wouldn't be in jail forever.

start them young
