(totally against the previous no sugar signs!!!) Anyway, they didn't make it that week... nor the next week... and even when I did make them cinnamon rolls- they came with puppy dog eyes and said, "but we can't, because we don't deserve it"... they were being way to hard on themselves. I decided that they needed to see the good- to see what I see. They were expecting perfection. They had improved- and, honestly they aren't very bad about fighting in the first place!!! We need more cinnamon roll rewards in our home... there goes the no sugar. It didn't make a difference for us anyway :-)

Shawn and I had decided to have a week of NO SUGAR- so, I made a few signs and put them up in strategic places around the kitchen, living room, etc... Shortly thereafter, the children decided that they didn't want any more sibling fighting to happen- so, Caleb wrote a bunch of "no fighting" signs and posted them around the house. I asked what their reward would be for having a week of no sibling fighting- they decided on cinnamon rolls- Mariah found some pictures online and thus cinnamon roll pictures went up all around the house!
