Sarah's resolves to respect her parents and siblings

• After implementing an incentive chart last week, Sarah has decided that the best way to respect her parents and her sister is not to talk to them.
• After the kids got into the Halloween candy once again without asking, I told Sarah that it was all going to Daddy's work. She quickly pointed out to me that if I got rid of all the Halloween candy that we would have nothing to use to add, subtract or divide in math class. "We wouldn't want to do that, now would we?", she chimes.
• I walk into Hannah's room after the election last week and she is playing Barbies (her favorite thing to do). Only today, one of her Barbies is named Sarah Palin!
