I love to see the Temple


Holland loves to sing "I Love To See The Temple"
when we tuck her in bed at night.
She also begs to go to the temple when Donny and I go.
Yesterday Packer stayed home sick from school,
so we went to the temple and took pictures and sang.

Safe, Kind, Responsible

We have been haggling over what our family laws will be.
We decided to match our elementary school's laws:
Safe, Kind, and Responsible
(Hunter is in kindergarten, so the more reinforcement, the better)

SAFE

                                                                           KIND
                                                                         
     RESPONSIBLE

Mollie wrote a litte song to the tune to help them learn them-
 "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
SAFE means I'm careful so that nobody gets hurt.
KIND means I treat people with love and not like dirt.
RESPONSIBLE means doing m-y work and duties first.
These are the Cougar laws.

Rewards for obeying laws are marbles in a jar for a date.
Consequences for breaking the laws are:
(Loss of privilege or item- Safe)
(Time out- Kind)
(No food- Responsible)
