As soon as he is gone I would announce to kidlets that punishment is null and void. H needs a firm boundary from you re: instigating mayhem and simultaneous abuse of two kidlets to each other.

It was an excellent game UNTIL we lost in the last 15 seconds to a last minute goal! Ugh! And, I'm a POOR loser!
I hate indoor, but it's all we have where we live at this time of year! It's SO dramatic!
We have two local boys that got drafted (MLS) this past draft, that came up through my boys' soccer club (and school, btw). One plays for FC Dallas (and my boys think it's more cool that he's on FIFA 2010 for XBox now! LoL), and the other San Jose. Both were Adidas Top Nine players, and one was captain for Michigan State, and the other captain of Indiana.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
Sounds like the sibling rivalry just keeps improving with age. Great! Guess I have something to look forward to. And I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Silverado... All is good. H just punishes about once per year, and, well, you know... goes overboard, and then back pedals, when he realizes what a dork he's been.
He is taking me tomorrow. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers! I'll take every one of them!!!
I'll check in as soon as I can here, and/or via email.
G knows about your help this week, and helped me w/a thoughtful follow-up (will be done tomorrow am).
THANK YOU
