I would say that today went rather well. The girls had a good first day at trying to be sisterly and our evening chat went even better. I brought up the past-- not to keep a record of wrong but to validate the girls' reasons for possibly feeling the way they do. I think this was a good thing.

Their bedtime was around 8pm but they were allowed to "hang out" together in their rooms. I was tempted to lift the early bedtime for them because of how nice they were all being but I know all too well that as soon as I go and do something like that-- they revert back to their old ways. No girls-- this new behavior needs to be an ongoing thing so I think I am going to set aside some time each night for the next few weeks for them to re-learn to like each other.

But... tomorrow night I'm hoping I can make an exception because I plan on buying the movie Babies to watch as a family. Scratch that-- I just remembered that Camp Rock 2 is on! Anyone else watching with their kids?

Lastly I wanted to share about an awesome ministry! I had the privilege of chatting with Taylor on Facebook tonight as she shared about something that is near and dear to her heart. She is involved in a ministry called the Adullam House that cares for children while their parents are in jail and they have no one else to stay with them. Go check it out and be inspired and if you feel led to help out I am sure they would appreciate it! Personally, I see a mission opportunity right in our backyard-- well at least in this country. :)
